Well this is it. My final poem on passions. I will be back next Saturday to respond to your posts and then I am gone. Anyway here it is. Rather apt title I think. Good night to you all The Finale or (Goodnight Sweet Poets) The mysterious burst of enigmatic phrases has come to its end This once immaculate inspiration has come to its conclusion On the futility channel is where this detached penmen can be found Labelled with a name that was not my own, now I bare the truth My soul is unadorned in the detached face of the populace Breathing in the years similar to a firefighter inhaling the ashes of distress Paling are my words in the burst of illumination that is imminent Throwing me into disarray, is this vapid radiance that simply desires to consume I have garnered a personal escort to where the blistered ones remain This route shall not harbour my tomb for my pure expressions shall survive Once I was comfortably numb but a sudden impact left me altered and scarred My words were once that of selfish reprisal in addition to my hate toward existence I was not capable of seeing the devil that hid behind my face The ears that rest upon my cranium were unable to hear the tears of the weak The only aspiration I had was for my own contentment Along my brain wave you could not locate the likeness of a famished infant Though I began to realize if I wished to be happy I should be helping the world It dawned on me that the world needed to heal I shall do this as this is what, is meant by the term charity In time two poets emerged from the one One barring the mark of Poe The other barring the twenty-five A fight did consume my soul One wished for the good of mankind The other dwelling on a past that can not be rewritten In time I came to terms with their existence I became what you can call a devil with a halo I began to write for the good of people My words no longer as complex Driving home the point without having to be this mysterious entity My words compared to that of a child with their simplicity Though these thoughts did not tarnish the meaning The shackles, which I put on myself, disintegrated My words were for the masses to help them see We poets are not the only ones in pain All people cry the tears of the dove My depression seemed to vanish in a heartbeat Time became the only adversary to healing the world My every waking moment spent on the people of this world Though in this pursuit I lost my family members As well the love of my life Though the smile on my face could not be removed My heart was full of happiness from my deeds Though I began to realize I was helping out of selfishness instead of purity I believed healing the world would heal me When this is not what is meant by the term charity But those times no longer exist For tonight the battle between the two has come to an end In the finale they have both lost For one could not exist with out the other Their deaths have come to term And the only one left to live is I Tonight I have come to say goodbye And goodnight sweet poets Tomorrow comes for those who fear it. Today never ends for those who live it. |

You've a long journey before you; I feel that you will meet with some great, and small, successes, in all you do. Remember that all are important, and there are no failures when one makes the attempt. Write on. |

Poe~ Move on in grace and comfort, knowing that your light will shine on faces new~ May you find your way back to the pages of PiP, where friendship will always be waiting~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Poe, I've been reading as you have told of the journey you have been taking. You have only just begun on your "real" journey of self. And, it sounds to me as if you have come to terms with "You". It seems you have made more friends here as you have told of your findings in your search for the real of you. I wish you the very best in all your endeavors, wherever you decide to "be". Just remember that friends need each other and your friends here at PIP will always be waiting for your return. I think we all will be here waiting to welcome you back with open arms and an open heart. Farewell, my friend. Hugs, Ethel aka garysgirl |

Poe? You will be sorely missed, but this is a blessing: Once I was comfortably numb but a sudden impact left me altered and scarred Run with it, make waves . . . |

Good bye all. I now leave these pages. My return shall be when I return not a moment before. The only guidance I can leave you with is these principles I lived by. Life is complicated, but it is only what you make it. No guts no Glory. Keep your head up high. After the darkest night, always comes a brighter day. Never surrender, it's all about the faith you've got. Don't ever stop; just push it till you hit the top. And if you drop, at least you know you gave your all. Be true to you, and that way you can never fall. Success is your only option, failure is not. You can do anything you set your mind to. Thank you, Fee. The end of something shall always bring sadness, it is the joy on the other side of that dark day we must look for. Thank you, Sunshine. It is true no one can ever truly ever fail aslong as they give their all. Thank you, Enchantress. I shall do my best on the staying safe and being happy part. I shall return when I feel I have done my share of work in this world. Thank you, ecrivan. We learn every day we live. Even if it is simply what today feels like. Thank you, Seymour Tabin. If one does not make transition one will forever be in the dark. Thank you, Marge Tindal. I do not know if will be many faces, but I do hope it is at least a hand full. Thank you, Midnitesun. I shall miss you as well. Your words always inspired me and helped me. Always remember to keep your head up high. Thank you, garysgirl. Wise men have always said that you can not love another until you love yourself. Sometimes you have to step away to get a better look at who you truly are. Where I will be is a mystery to me, because home to me is earth what part I will never know. Thank you, The Lady. Someday I hope those things do transpire. Thank you, Martie. Thank you, JamesMichael. Thank you, Juju. My writings are your writings they are just another human who is not afraid to express what is inside. Aslong as you never give up on yourself. People like myself shall continue to write. Thank you, iliana. Thank you, Gentle Spirit. I shall miss those who I leave behind and their words just as much. Thank you, Bridget Shenachie. Peace and love to you as well. Thank you, littlewing. My blessing and my curse as it were. You would have to have to be me to understand that one. The Devil With A Halo shall return Tomorrow comes for those who fear it. |

Though I began to realize if I wished to be happy I should be helping the world It dawned on me that the world needed to heal I shall do this as this is what, is meant by the term charity Good luck Poe, and I wish you a safe trip to and from~~ Maureen |

"The shackles, which I put on myself, disintegrated" Journey in peace, dearest poe; and with hearts such as yours leading the way forward on this ship called earth, good will prevail. And I know you shall never forget the hearts you've met here on these pages, as we shall never ever forget yours. Love, Kacy |
