One year ago today ... I was lost ... but found my way, In your words I saw my own reflection ... and it gave my life direction ... ~Poetic Sanctuary~ I have been baptized in your oceans of rhyme ... found solace on your beaches of understand. I have seen my own reflection in your eyes ... touched contentment ... as you held my heart in your hand. I have read the epitaphs of prophets ... heard the songs that angels sing. I have flown on the wings of butterflies ... witnessed the miracle forgiveness brings. I have read your words of wisdom ... promises forever etched in the sands of time. I have read fate's truth penned golden ... seen destiny's design ... defined in your rhyme. I have read sorrow's silence ... seen heartache bleed down the page. I have read wrenching desperation ... witnessed stolen innocence's rage. I have seen loneliness written in darkness ... I have seen love and trust die too soon. I have read words of lost souls who find sanctuary ... quiet comfort ... on the dark side of the moon. I have felt the draw of temptation ... the attraction to the pretty blue flame. I have flown too close to the fire ... known the pleasures and pain of desire calling my name. I have read the verses of unrequited ... felt the ache of unending yearning. Seen inspiration be both lost and found ... muses muted or freed by the need that's ever burning. I have learned to read between the lines ... where the tears and pain go unspoken. Learned to listen to the wind and rain ... heard the cries when a soul's spirit is broken. I have been blessed and granted ... the treasured gifts of poetic lace. Hands held out in friendship ... embraced in rhymes of poetry's healing grace. I have seen love written in the stars ... witnessed hearts being released and taking flight. I have read love's intentions written across indigo sky ... seen lovers touch in the moonlit shadows of ebony night. Love has been written as a fragile rose ... as rainbows and sunsets across the heart and soul. By our never ending quest to know it unconditionally ... we are all equal and defined in this common goal. Here we are kept in poetic time ... by the ocean's tides and the moon's beckoning. We live and die by verse and line ... as we atone by confession of poetic reckoning. Here we worship the written word ... we erect alters and pedestals of gold. We read the words of prophets and empyreans ... and share in the poetic secrets to be told. In this place of sanctuary ... poet and verse come together as one. Poetry remains our constant ... faithful as the phasing moon ... and the ever rising sun. On this day of reflection ... I give thanks on poetic bended knee. Grateful with sincere cherish ... for all here ...and for the gifts of poetry. Janet Marie *********** ~In Poetic Retrospect~ I don't know if you ... were ever truly able to see, the sheer unadulterated beauty ... I saw within your poetry. God knows that I tried ... God knows of poetry ... I never lied. The brilliance of your words ... the depth of your verse. Upon the very first read ... was cast a sweet poetic curse. Hoping thru my eyes ... you would then realize ... within your gifted pen ... you have always held the prize. Like silver shooting stars ... your words rise and fall with grace. Lighting up heaven's sky ... etching your name in time and space. After a year of inhaling poetry ... I remain in awe of thee ... still so impressed by your poetic integrity and subtle intensity. Every compliment ever given ... was out of sincere respect. Grateful for the chance to read your words ... to see your poetic light reflect. You are indeed ... a graced and gifted poet ... after all was said and done ... I simply wanted you to know it. And I am truly sorry ... for the mistakes that I made. For the parts of you ... of me ... and of the poetry I was willing to trade. I hope you understand ... may it go without mention ... Of the things that were shared ... I had only the best intentions. I have always wanted to thank you ... for the things you inspired in me. For the poetic fires ... for encouraging me to make these discoveries. Inspiration came with such ease ... with you as my pen's muse ... thank you for igniting ... my passion's poetic fuse. People come and go in our lives ... but the memories and poetry will remain. Of the lessons learned and things held in respect ... among them is engraved your name. I hope that you take this ... in the way it is truly meant ... this sincere compliment ... this poetic genuflect. Through my poetic eyes ... may you now finally see ... the talent you possess ... the amazing grace of your poetry. Janet Marie **written with respect and gratitude ... to the poets who have inspired ... encouraged ... taken my breath away ... and awed me in my time here. Thank you for an amazing year of poetry and friendship. Hands Held Out ... Heart in Hand ... Love to all ... In Poetry Land. Poetry is not an opinion expressed ... It is a song that rises from a bleeding wound ... or a smiling mouth. ~Kahlil Gibran~ |

Janet Marie it is we who stand in awe of your poetry I loved each and every line, It is so true how poetry touches our lifes, in so many way opens up doors sometimes that lead to the heart, and perhaps give us a shadow of our own true feelings, through tears and laughter so often there is a bond, that can not be broken by such beauty bestowed in words, you have a way of bringing out so much beauty and feelings that is a rare thing, truly a gift to us thank you. |

oh JM, JM, JM... "you complete me" *tear* lol this is one of the awesomest (that a word?) dedications i've read in here. you've chosen the words beautifully to categorize the works i read/post here. i've seen you grow in the 9 months i've been here, but definitely not as much as you've helped me grow. i can't thank you enough for the connection you provide me with. you tell me often of how you see reflections in me, but that lets me know that you were able to make it. and i can't tell you enough how important that is to me...more than any volume of poetry could say. in short you effervescent, ever-present, bright spark of the board, thanks and you're welcome. keep me in awe. "and while she reads and replies and chews on her pen i absolutley love her when she writes..." < !signature--> Life is a party. Enjoy the punch, turn up the volume, and make it memorable.

 Happy Anniversary  The beauty of your poetry is only shadowed by the sheer love in your heart that you always give so willingly to all the poets within these walls and I for one know that I am a better man for just knowing you.  Thank you for showing me the endless bounds of friendship and the beauty of life with your cosmic heart.  Your pen is truely magical and both of the above pieces reflect so well your love of poetry and the deepest desire you have for all to know how much you cherish and live~n~breathe their works and you have never failed to show that in your replies. It is with the greatest of honors that I say thank you my friend for always sharing and caring. [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 01-22-2001).] |

O My BRILLIANT friend of the writing world, to have known you has been a pleasure, a pleasure of reading, feeling, knowing and recognising a person and her ways with life, boundlessly beautiful... How much have I been inspired by your writing, and they have never failed to move me... whatever I read whenever I could have pleased these word-thirsty eyes and word-crazy mind... each word has been a feast... and may it continue to exist and may you continue to thrive and flourish as a writer, as a person, as a human and more so as you yourself... CONGRATS ON THE ONE YEAR HERE, HOPE THAT WE SEE MANY YEARS OF EACH OTHER HERE... AT THE HOME AWAY FROM HOME, "POETRY LAND"... My regards to you, my friend, Sudhir |

I could go on copying dozens of lines here ... absolutely beautiful ... both of these treasures! Your words have inspired me many times over ... your enthusiasm, your zest, your genuine and caring nature. You are such a talented and gifted writer, and I consider myself fortunate to call you friend dear poet. Happy One Year Anniversary! May we celebrate many more with you!  Love ya sweet gator-gal, /Kit |

A wonderful tribute to the wonderful people of this forum, Janet, and to the forum itself. This truly shows how much Passions can impact a person's life. The friends we make here, the bonds, the relationships built here in poetry make everlasting changes in our lives. We learn, we live, and love here together and are all touched in a similar manner. Beautifully said. Michael |

Jan~ It is we who are honored and amazed to have someone like you to share our love of poetry and our love of life with. in this last year, i've not only gotten to know you as a poet but as a friend and a person. and i must say (and im sure everyone here will agree with me) you are one fantastic lady whose sheer heart and beauty make life the joy that it can be. you have taught me so much...i look up to you not only as a friend but in some ways like an older sister. i wont say mother cuz you're not old enough LOL and you might slap me. i guess what im trying to say (rambling) is I'm eternally grateful for having met you and finding such a wonderful place for me to call home. Next month marks a year for me. I celebrate along with you. Here's to another wonderful and amazing year. God bless you and take care. All my love, Amy aka your sunshine girl "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." |

JM, awesome lady, never really thought about "how long" I'd been on passions. I've felt like I'd just kinda always been here, and you just kinda "always were"; can't believe I haven't even been here a year! I emphatically concur with ALL the above comments, JM. Can't express it any better than they have. This forum would have been much less the home it has been for me, and many others, without your presence, words and feelings in everything. Touch is so important and your touch as warmed, encouraged, and grown us all. jwesley |

I'm sorry I missed your anniversary, dear lady... For whatever you've gained here, you've given so much to so many - Your poems are incredible and would be an asset to any collection... and your compassion, sincerity, encouragement and concern for your fellow posters is every bit as treasured. We are lucky to have such a heart given so generously... thank you! *S* [This message has been edited by suthern (edited 01-25-2001).] |
