{{{{For just one}}}} {{{{song to voice}}}} {{{{all there is to me}}}} @)==={{{{it would have to}}}}===(@ {{{{be a song so very}}}} {{{{long. So very long}}}} {{{{that it would play in}}}} @) ==={{{{to all eternity. I like}}}}===(@ {{{{the fact that I have }}}} {{{{so many sides in my}}}} {{{{life that there could}}}} @) ==={{{{never be just one to}}}}===(@ {{{{capture the essence}}}} {{{carried in my soul.}}} ============= In my soul and in my heart there lies a tune that will be ============= the strumming of my being in all I do. There within ============ all the songs that I know will come as one in rhythm ============ to quiet my being with the presence of a heavy guitar ============ With Lonestar in my heart in their "Amazed" I will ============ forever feel love and with Garth I ride the western ============ sky within white tornados in hand and Mr. LeDeux ============ shares the secrets of my hat in an all telling story of this ============= "This Cowboy's Hat" Neil Diamond may come into play with ============= my eyes set to stars of the night as I see wishes and dreams ============== being lofted in the air for that special heart that is waiting across the miles of a cherished land. "For Your Eyes Only" being the messages sent swirling among the heavens as they search for "My Love" ignoring not the "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" for one that has so effectively brought "Joy" into my life. Now we could not forget how "These Eyes" just love to see the smile on her face as she streches in the morning and gazes through space. With the morning "Sunshine On My Shoulder" making me so very warm. "Love Grows" where my butterfly goes and to me there is "No Greater Love" than one that puts me so close to the "Top of the World" knowing that "We've Only Just Begun" to find our way. She truely is my "Green Eyed Lady" with the stars of "Venus" in all she sees. How could I ever just pick one song to tell it all when there is so much to me because of "The way She Love's Me" and to say it all started because once there was a "Spirit In The Sky" picking it's way to us out among all others in this life we share. So for all who want to know me and all those that really care; just do me a favor with each and every song that you hear. Know that somewhere deep in the words of a love song and those melodies that we remember so fondly; there is a blooming love in the midst of "Heaven's Fair". There is no fear in me that I may someday be just "A Clown In Your Rodeo" as I fear not the love that has been bestowed upon my soul. My heart flies free just as a bird would fly and that is why I love to listen to "Freebird" in my mellow moods. Now it does't matter what song you play for me as long as you do just one simple thing. Do not forget to pick the song that has alot of heavy guitar like when Mason Williams gave us "Classical Gas" or when Jimmy played the anthem in fields of grass.

If these old knees would allow, I would have to join Kethry and bow down before the master. "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

Sorry, I haven't learned the fancy graphics yet, so I'll just tell you the plain truth. I happen to love guitars, and you got me totally wrapped up with this one. Your talent is overwhelming, you are the gentleman cowboy with a beautiful mellow guitar slung over his shoulder. This is exquisite. You won first place, game is over Liz |

Parker-Thank you so much and to be honest with you it is just a cheap after MARKet brand LOL Liz-With your talent in words who the heck would need a visual to go with it? You paint portraits with your verses that most of us can only dream of. Thank you as always Holly-Through "YOUR" eyes "IS" where my growth came from and we both know that. Thank you for being the strongest force in my life ever and now please accept one more gift from a certain day some 25 years ago. You are where it belongs and where I KNOW it will never be forever taken care of. Corinne-Thank you much |

Bill-WOW....thank you greatly for all of that and I am glad that you liked the verse as well.HAHAHAHA....didn't know if most were paying attention to it. Kelly-I must say that I was shocked to see this one come back up. I wish to thank you and I am glad you found it so FANTASTICO.

Mark my friend, look what else appeared in my trawl through beauty. Wonderful, had to pull this one forward for the MPOOPAS because they will murder me if they don't get their weekly feast of the master. Anyway I told you I was suffering from a distressed soul, and it needs some resuscitation. And this is just the medicine it needs. Soul food, soul life, soul beauty, so Mark lead that resus team in and jump start my soul. Take care Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Mark, not only is the poem incredible, but the formatting is superb. This is so difficult to pull off and you've mastered it!!! How about a few lessons? Type something up and post it in the Q&A or Alley! I'd love to learn this. Again, great job!  |

WOWZERS! Vicky is sending me these to show the "form" poems, and this is amazing! Every time I try to draw something it still looks like a road apple Opps and the poem was awesome too."Lose your temper and you lose a friend; lie and you lose yourself." |
