~Unrequited~ Of all the things I've never done ... and all the things I've still yet to do ... I'd trade them away in a heart beat ... to be lying there next to you. For the beaches I've never walked on ... the oceans I'll never see ... I'd gladly forfeit their beauty ... to drown in the depths of your intensity. There is so much I've not seen or done ... so much of me remains unrequited, Still I'd pass on it all ... to live inside your heart ... so sweetly invited. Of all the languages I've not spoken ... all the love songs I've not yet heard, I'd give my ability to speak ... just to inspire in you ... but a single poetic word. For all the delicacies I've not savored ... the fine wines I'll not sip, Without hesitation I would starve ... for just a taste of you on my lips. Of all the pleasures I've yet to know ... the contentment still not found within, They could never compare ... to the ecstasy of this anticipated sweet sin. One might say ... you cant trade away what you don't possess or hold ... Still I'd sell my soul in a second ... to have carnal knowledge of your secrets untold. Janet Marie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Winds Of Change~ Poetic winds blow ... now sweetly swept away, carry me to the place in you ... so that I might stay. Safe passage to your harbors ... sail across your seas, breathe in all your pleasures ... set my spirit free. Poetic winds blow ... gentle breezes take my will, carry me to the place in you ... where time stands still. Take me so far away ... to discover your beaches of sand, under your starry skies ... I rise up ... heart in my hand. Poetic winds blow ... quietly taken into the night, carry me to the place in you ... warmed by desires light. Baptize me in your mystical waters ... sun dry me on your shores, caress me with your winds of change ... allow my heart to soar. Poetic winds blow ... lift me up ... now Heaven bound, carry me to the place in you ... where contentment is found. Fly with me in twilight skies ... painted in hues by the setting sun, as we fly free towards the rising moon ... two souls become one. Janet Marie ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Drops of Jupiter~ by: Train from the cd by the same name Now that she's back in the atmosphere With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey She acts like summer and walks like rain Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey Since the return from her stay on the moon She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey Tell me did you sail across the sun Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded And that heaven is overrated Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star One without a permanent scar And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there Now that she's back from that soul vacation Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo Reminds me that there's time to grow, hey, hey Now that she's back in the atmosphere I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day And head back to the Milky Way And tell me, did Venus blow your mind Was it everything you wanted to find And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **reposts from Voices on the Web ***thank you to two special friends for asking to see these again... that they touch you means much as they are both very special to me.

I remember these quite well and I thought they were wonderful at the time and I still do. "One might say ... you cant trade away what you don't possess or hold ..." But you've proved that to be wrong because you would trade away your fantasies for the real thing and in this piece you own the fantasies. I'm so glad you shared them! Marvelous projection of heart at the conclusion....great writing JM "Baptize me in your mystical waters ... sun dry me on your shores, caress me with your winds of change ... allow my heart to soar." Now that's beautiful poetry! It flows so magically! Dear Janet you are VANtastic! Love starts where no words hurt, where all hearts cry for lovers of sweet needs, thoughts filled with smiles and speaking love with slow words filled with hope, the words of light straight from the sky where the flame lights the mist. Pictures endear the golden bowl files lust, birth and friendship, retrieving all of history's fathers from sketches lining the walls of circles hot with wet glue shot out of a cup running and flowing. An angel in the night full breasts to grip and taste for the first love where no fool gives pure strength to men undaunted in the head, filled with the truth where true love grows; an urgent place to share. Still they must beckon again their wants lying in the flower bed with such encasing needs deep in their love. Late, they must whince at worries of a kind and cry in weak grief, in the first person of lonely functions. Love breeds inside their chambers; from truth to sex, til the old talking mood comes to such friends. No hurt, no lies, just lovers of their time stuck to the moon reclining in a pool of well oiled years. Keep up the good work my dear poet pet and thanks so much for reposting!! They're fabulous! Like those lyrics by Train too! The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |

I could read and re-read these many times JM, and yet each time it seems as if I see them a'new. Beautiful and emotive writing gator gal, with such a wonderful flow to your words. Your writing always touches a place in my heart. Best wishes, /Kit |

JM, OK Randy screamed she loves me and took off again. Fact is if I had his wings I probably would have joined him. You've managed to touch everyone who loves you and some more than others. Winkiewinkie Stinky |

These portraits you've painted deserve framing. |

thank you all for these wonderful touching replies...and for not getting tired of reading my reposts... thank you to the two freinds who asked for these to be given another go round... and for letting me know what they mean to you. Just by coincidence both of these ended up being the ones voted by my fellow poets to be in the book. Unrequited is special as I believe of all my work it defines me. Thank you to Poetry Land for the constant that you are in to me. love, respect, and gratitude ... always, jm |
