**inspired by your poems and replies to mine...
by the things we both understand when reading between the lines...
as always I thank you for the inspiration, with respect and friendship...janet marie

~preface~...

Deep with in my broken heart...
hides the death of all my dreams.
Defines the need I have for love,
kept silent, choking on my screams...

(Exsisting in the Darkness)...

Damaged and denied...
reflections of a childhood left behind,
In remembrance of lost innocence,
memories return to relive and remind.

Generations of humiliation...
inherited practices of pain.
Legacy designed by sin,
all dressed up in denial...the shame remains.

(Living in the Light)

Searching for acceptance...
Sanctuary to heal and live,
A guiding light is realized...
Redemption grants a second chance...to again love and forgive.

Believing in the light that shines ...
both from within and from above,
Learning to find self worth and respect...
and to never give up on the gifts unconditional love.

Janet Marie




 you're really alone at last...
you're bored and fading fast,
if it's true you'll fall from the past
all you'll have to do is ask
you'll feel but never be
you want and always need
price you pay for wanting to see
will you have all you've ever dreamed...

dang it...I was gonna try to sneak out of here tonight gracefully and then you post this.  Oh, this is "me" in every aspect of the word.  You've moved me to near tears.  Thank you for such an "all-knowing, all-understanding" tribute.  I am deeply deeply touched.

 Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
You never knew what I loved in you
I don't know what you loved in me
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be

Wonderful Janet.  "Deep within my broken heart hides the death of all my dreams".  A very appropriate title.   James

  JM,
Wonderful poem, it touched me several times and I believe that the "light that shines both from within and above" will be my saving grace.  I thoroughly enjoyed this and I look forward to seeing more of you.

JanetMarie,  Glad you did this for Michael he needed the burst of positives.  Loved the whole thing, the tribute, the writing and even the title pulled me in.  Well done  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

Janet...

You never cease to amaze me girl. Once again I am in awe of a piece of your work. You got true talent, never forget it. This was simply beautiful, elegant, and did extreme poetic justice to a wonderful person. I admire you both VERY much, and love reading your work!
