Where are you?

 Where was I when you needed me most?  Was I not there to lend a hug or two?  Did I not make sacrifices for you?
Of course I did. I gave up a lot for you!
But where were you when I needed a friend? A hug?
Or just someone to talk to?
Where was your hugs when life was being unkind?
Where was your sacrifice? Were were you?
You were nowhere. You turned your head and laughed.
All I've done for you and this is the thanks I get?
Where's the love? If I were to disappear, would you care? Would you even notice? I'm not too sure you would!
Even tho I've always been there for you, the space next to me is empty. You allowed me to be sent away to death.
With friends like you , who needs enemies?
One day you too will ask these very questions...
What answer would you get? Think now before it's too late.
Take action now. Forgiveness is the greatest give.
Don't let this happen to you... Pretend this is the last day of your life, my life. their life and you were asked to make the euology.. What would you say? What will you remember?
This is important all... Think on this for awhile...
Life's too short to make enemies...
Love conquers all..

Questions of Peace

Does it turn , Does it wink
Is it real or is it fake
What has this world brought my way?
Why does the answers seem so far away?
Questions that never cease;
A neverending valley
Of learning;
Of beginning anew.
Is it just that the world is changing that questions are eternal?
Why must questions be asked, when the world in itself hold the key?
Wouldn't it best to enjoy the gifts we have then to try to answer questions of the Earth?
Life would be happier if there were no questions;
Just a place to call home
A place to lay our heads 
A place to run among the flowers
To sleep among the stars
Hovering across the darkened sky
A place to simply be free
To laugh ; to cry; to live to be
To just enjoy
To be at peace
Let the questions die with the storms
and the answers flow with the wind
Let our lives just enjoy what the World brings

Lover's Flight

Lovers Flight
I hear her cries in the still of the night
Her lover departed and has taken flight.
Her broken heart douses the light.
No more will she walk in Moonlight.
No more will she feel just right.
All she now wishes for is the fight.

The fight of love vs hate.
What emotions are at stake.
Would love arrive too late.
Will once again it be all a fake.
How her heart can't take this fate.
How should she deal with all this hate.
 
How can this poor Lady survive.
Will she be able to stay alive.
Can her heart be revived.
I hear her say How can she live.
Is is possible to again forgive.
How much more love can she Give.
 
I hear her cries in the quiet night.
I see tears upon her cheek in Moonlight.
Her Heart struggling to fight.
If Only she can make it right.
To take back that lonely flight.
To make her Lover see the Light.

To the Special People in My Life...

To the Special People in My Life........

To the special people in my life. I am sending this to you to see how many of you actually read your email. Is anyone really out there? Your response will be interesting!
Here it goes:
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.
 
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part or an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled;their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.
 
When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
 
Believe it! It is real! But...only for a season.
 
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway); and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand and Angels watch over you. Smile and stop here if you're not into this final part:
This is to show people you love them and to see how many people love you!!!! Don't feel embarrassed cause only you will get the results.
Send it to every friend that you have online,
including the person who sent it to you.
0 Replies - you may need to work on your "people skills"
2 Replies - you are nice but probably need to be more outgoing
4 Replies - you have picked your friends well
6 Replies - you are downright popular
8 Replies or More - you are totally awesome (and that's why your on my list

The Corner where she sat!

 Alone and cold, in the corner she sat,
No one around not even a rat,
They left her there without a cat,
No sun to find where she's at.

Dark and gloomy was all she saw,
In her corner by herself was all,
If a window to peek in awe,
Tears would be what you saw.
 
Smiles no longer upon her face,
Yet her poise was still of grace,
Sitting in her gown of lace,
Time was slipping in this race,
 
Friends have silently slipped away,
How she wished they would have stayed,
Upon this floor of cold she lay,
Hoping for a better day.
 
Alone and scared she sat,
In this corner full of rats,
No one knowing where she's at,
Simply wishing for her cat!
===================================================================

Very touching poem!
She didn't need to sit in the corner when there are so many others around!
===================================================================
From: ME - - - - 9/28/03
Aww Shawn..
She simply was forced there when the others forgot she was there! Some no longer even care! It's sad when those who were thought of as friends were only so when it was of convenience. I'm sure many new friends will join to outweigh the rest...
I so love your poems. Feel free, if inspired to find an appropriate pic for any of my poems... Just post it on the same thread and I'll make a special page and re-post the poem with it's chosen pic..
I never can seem to find the right pic to add with my poems... And you seem to always know the right ones to add with yours..
Thank You!
===================================================================
From: _KingofHeartsShawn_ - - - - 9/29/03
Its sad when people cease to care.
This would be a tragic, cold world to live in if nobody cared for anyone.
I'm glad there are some considerate people with warm feelings in this world.
If I find an appropriate picture, I will post it.

Here ya go! What the first letter of your name means...

ACCORDING TO STUDIES, YOUR SEXUAL IDENTITY IS REVEALED BY THE FIRST LETTER OF YOUR FIRST NAME...
-A-
YOU ARE NOT PARTICULARLY ROMANTIC, BUT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ACTION. YOU MEAN BUSINESS. WITH YOU, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. YOU HAVE NO PATIENCE FOR FLIRTING AND CAN'T BE BOTHERED WITH SOMEONE WHO IS TRYING TO BE COY, CUTE, DEMURE, AND SUBTLY ENTICING. YOU ARE AN UP FRONT PERSON. WHEN IT COMES TO SEX, IT'S ACTION THAT COUNTS NOT OBSCURE HINTS. YOUR MATE'S PHYSICAL ATTRACTIVENESS IS IMPORTANT TO YOU. YOU FIND THE CHASE AND CHALLENGE OF THE "HUNT" INVIGORATING. YOU ARE PASSIONATE AND SEXUAL AS WELL AS BEING MUCH MORE ADVENTUROUS THAN YOU APPEAR; HOWEVER, YOU DO NOT GO AROUND ADVERTISING THESE QUALITIES. YOUR PHYSICAL NEEDS ARE YOUR PRIMARY CONCERN.
-B-
YOU GIVE OFF VIBES OF LAZY SENSUALITY. YOU ENJOY BEING ROMANCED,WINED,AND DINED. YOU ARE VERY HAPPY TO RECEIVE GIFTS AS AN EXPRESSION OF THE AFFECTION OF YOUR LOVER. YOU WANT TO BE PAMPERED AND KNOW HOW TO PAMPER YOUR MATE. YOU ARE PRIVATE IN YOUR EXPRESSION OF ENDEARMENTS AND PARTICULARLY WHEN IT COMES TO LOVEMAKING. YOU WILL OLD OFF UNTIL EVERYTHING MEETS WITH YOUR APPROVAL. YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR APPETITE AND ABSTAIN FROM SEX IF NEED BE. YOU REQUIRE NEW SENSATIONS AND EXPERIENCES. YOU ARE WILLING TO EXPERIMENT.
-C-
YOU ARE A VERY SOCIAL INDIVIDUAL, AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP. YOU REQUIRE CLOSENESS AND TOGETHERNESS. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO TALK TO YOUR SEX PARTNER BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER. YOU WANT THE OBJECT OF YOUR AFFECTION TO BE SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE AND GOOD LOOKING. YOU SEE YOUR LOVER AS A FRIEND AND COMPANION. YOU ARE VERY SEXUAL AND SENSUAL, NEEDING SOMEONE TO APPRECIATE AND ALMOST WORSHIP YOU. WHEN THIS CANNOT BE ACHIEVED, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO FOR LONG PERIODS WITHOUT SEXUAL ACTIVITY. YOU ARE AN EXPERT AT CONTROLLING YOUR DESIRES AND DOING WITHOUT.
-D-
ONCE YOU GET IT INTO YOUR HEAD THAT YOU WANT SOMEONE, YOU MOVE FULL STEAM AHEAD IN PURSUIT. YOU DO NOT GIVE UP YOUR QUEST EASILY. YOU ARE NURTURING AND CARING IF SOMEONE HAS A PROBLEM, THIS TURNS YOU ON. YOU ARE HIGHLY SEXUAL, PASSIONATE, LOYAL, AND INTENSE IN YOUR INVOLVEMENT, SOMETIMES POSSESSIVE AND JEALOUS. SEX TO YOU IS A PLEASURE TO BE ENJOYED. YOU ARE STIMULATED BY THE ECCENTRIC AND UNUSUAL, HAVING A FREE AND OPEN RELATIONSHIP.
-E-
YOUR GREATEST NEED IS TO TALK. IF YOUR DATE IS NOT A GOOD LISTENER, YOU HAVE TROUBLE RELATING. A PERSON MUST BE INTELLECTUALLY STIMULATING OR YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED SEXUALLY. YOU NEED A FRIEND FOR A LOVER AND A COMPANION FOR A BEDMATE. YOU HATE DISHARMONY AND DISRUPTION, BUT YOU DO ENJOY A GOOD ARGUMENT ONCE IN A WHILE IT SEEMS TO STIR THINGS UP. YOU FLIRT A LOT, FOR THE CHALLENGE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE SEXUAL ACT FOR YOU, BUT ONCE YOU GIVE YOUR HEART AWAY, YOU ARE UNCOMPROMISINGLY LOYAL. WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A GOOD LOVER TO FALL ASLEEP WITH, YOU WILL FALL ASLEEP WITH A GOOD BOOK.(SOMETIMES, IN FACT, YOU PREFER A GOOD BOOK.)
-F-
YOU ARE IDEALISTIC AND ROMANTIC, PUTTING YOUR LOVER ON A PEDESTAL. YOU LOOK FOR THE VERY BEST MATE YOU CAN FIND. YOU ARE A FLIRT, YET ONCE COMMITTED, YOU ARE VERY LOYAL. YOU ARE SENSUOUS, SEXUAL, AND PRIVATELY PASSIONATE. PUBLICLY, YOU CAN BE SHOWY, EXTRAVAGANT, AND GALLANT. YOU ARE BORN ROMANTIC. DRAMATIC LOVE SCENES ARE YOUR FAVORITE FANTASY PASTIME. YOU CAN BE A VERY GENEROUS LOVER.
-G-
YOU ARE FASTIDIOUS, SEEKING PERFECTION WITHIN YOURSELF AND YOUR LOVER. YOU RESPOND TO A LOVER WHO IS YOUR INTELLECTUAL EQUAL OR SUPERIOR, AND ONE WHO CAN ENHANCE YOUR STATUS. YOU ARE SENSUOUS AND KNOW HOW TO REACH THE PEAK OF EROTIC STIMULATION, BECAUSE YOU WORK AT IT METICULOUSLY. YOU CAN BE EXTREMELY ACTIVE SEXUALLY THAT IS, WHEN YOU FIND THE TIME. YOUR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER EVERYTHING ELSE. YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY GETTING EMOTIONALLY CLOSE TO A LOVER,BUT NO TROUBLE GETTING CLOSE SEXUALLY.
-H-
YOU SEEK A MATE WHO CAN ENHANCE YOUR REPUTATION AND EARNING ABILITY. YOU WILL BE VERY GENEROUS TO YOUR LOVER ONCE YOU HAVE ATTAINED A COMMITMENT. YOUR GIFTS ARE ACTUALLY AN INVESTMENT IN YOUR PARTNER. BEFORE THE COMMITMENT, THOUGH, YOU TEND TO BE FRUGAL IN YOUR SPENDING AND DATING HABITS AND EQUALLY CAUTIOUS IN YOUR SEXUAL INVOLVEMENT. YOU ARE A SENSUAL AND PATIENT LOVER.
-I-
YOU HAVE A GREAT NEED TO BE LOVED, APPRECIATED... EVEN WORSHIPPED. YOU ENJOY LUXURY, SENSUALITY, AND PLEASURES OF THE FLESH. YOU LOOK FOR LOVERS WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN AN AMATEUR, UNLESS THAT AMATEUR WANTS A TUTOR. YOU ARE FUSSY AND EXACTING ABOUT HAVING YOUR DESIRES SATISFIED. YOU ARE WILLING TO EXPERIMENT AND TRY NEW MODES OF SEXUAL EXPRESSION. YOU BORE EASILY AND THUS REQUIRE SEXUAL ADVENTURE AND CHANGE. YOU ARE MORE SENSUAL THAN SEXUAL, BUT YOU ARE SOMETIMES DOWNRIGHT LUSTFUL.
-J-
YOU CAN BE VERY ROMANTIC, ATTACHED TO THE GLAMOUR OF LOVE. HAVING A PARTNER IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE TO YOU. YOU ARE FREE IN YOUR EXPRESSION OF LOVE AND ARE WILLING TO TAKE CHANCES, TRY NEW SEXUAL EXPERIENCES AND PARTNERS, PROVIDED IT'S ALL IN GOOD TASTE. BRAINS TURN YOU ON. YOU MUST FEEL THAT YOUR PARTNER IS NTELLECTUALLY STIMULATING, OTHERWISE YOU WILL FIND IT DIFFICULT TO SUSTAIN THE RELATIONSHIP. YOU REQUIRE LOVING, CUDDLING, WINING, AND DINING TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE BEING APPRECIATED.
-K-
YOU ARE TOTALLY FUCKING MARVELOUS!
-L-
YOU ARE VERY ROMANTIC, IDEALISTIC, AND SOMEHOW YOU BELIEVE THAT TO LOVE MEANS TO SUFFER. YOU WIND UP SERVING YOUR MATE OR ATTRACTING PEOPLE WHO HAVE UNUSUAL TROUBLES. YOU SEE YOURSELF AS YOUR LOVER'S SAVIOR. YOU ARE SINCERE, PASSIONATE, LUSTFUL, AND DREAMY. YOU CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE. YOU FANTASIZE AND GET TURNED ON BY MOVIES AND MAGAZINES. YOU DO NOT TELL OTHERS OF THIS SECRET LIFE, NOR OF YOUR SEXUAL FANTASIES.
-M-
YOU ARE EMOTIONAL AND INTENSE. WHEN INVOLVED IN A RELATIONSHIP, YOU THROW YOUR ENTIRE BEING INTO IT. NOTHING STOPS YOU; THERE ARE NO HOLDS BARRED. YOU ARE ALL CONSUMING AND CRAVE SOMEONE WHO IS EQUALLY PASSIONATE AND INTENSE. YOU BELIEVE IN TOTAL SEXUAL FREEDOM. YOU ARE WILLING TO TRY ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. YOUR SUPPLY OF SEXUAL ENERGY IS INEXHAUSTIBLE. YOU ALSO ENJOY MOTHERING YOUR MATE.
-N-
YOU ARE CRAP IN BED.
-O-
YOU ARE VERY INTERESTED IN SEXUAL ACTIVITIES YET SECRETIVE AND SHY ABOUT YOUR DESIRES. YOU CAN RE-CHANNEL MUCH OF YOUR SEXUAL ENERGY INTO MAKING MONEY AND/OR SEEKING POWER. YOU CAN EASILY HAVE EXTENDED PERIODS OF CELIBACY. YOU ARE A PASSIONATE, COMPASSIONATE, SEXUAL LOVER, REQUIRING THE SAME QUALITIES FROM YOUR MATE. SEX IS SERIOUS BUSINESS; THUS YOU DEMAND INTENSITY DIVERSITY, AND ARE WILLING TO TRY ANYTHING OR ANYONE. SOMETIMES YOUR PASSIONS TURN TO POSSESSIVENESS, WHICH MUST BE KEPT IN CHECK.
-P-
YOU ARE VERY CONSCIOUS OF SOCIAL PROPRIETIES. YOU WOULDN'T THINK OF DOING ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HARM YOUR IMAGE OR REPUTATION. APPEARANCES COUNT, THEREFORE, YOU REQUIRE A GOOD-LOOKING PARTNER. YOU ALSO REQUIRE AN INTELLIGENT PARTNER. ODDLY ENOUGH, YOU MAY VIEW YOUR PARTNER AS YOUR ENEMY; A GOOD FIGHT STIMULATES THOSE SEX VIBES. YOU ARE RELATIVELY FREE OF SEXUAL HANG-UPS. YOU ARE WILLING TO EXPERIMENT AND TRY NEW WAYS OF DOING THINGS. YOU ARE VERY SOCIAL AND SENSUAL; YOU ENJOY FLIRTING AND NEED A GOOD DEAL OF PHYSICAL GRATIFICATION.
-Q-
YOU REQUIRE CONSTANT ACTIVITY AND STIMULATION. YOU HAVE TREMENDOUS PHYSICAL ENERGY. IT IS NOT EASY FOR A PARTNER TO KEEP UP WITH YOU, SEXUALLY OR OTHERWISE. YOU ARE AN ENTHUSIASTIC LOVER AND TEND TO BE ATTRACTED TO PEOPLE OF OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS. YOU NEED ROMANCE, HEARTS AND FLOWERS, AND LOTS OF CONVERSATION TO TURN YOU ON AND KEEP YOU GOING.
-R-
YOU ARE A NO-NONSENSE, ACTION-ORIENTED INDIVIDUAL. YOU NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN KEEP PACE WITH YOU AND WHO IS YOUR INTELLECTUAL EQUAL THE SMARTER THE BETTER. YOU ARE TURNED ON MORE QUICKLY BY A GREAT MIND THAN BY A GREAT BODY. HOWEVER, PHYSICAL ATTRACTIVENESS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU. YOU HAVE TO BE PROUD OF YOUR PARTNER. YOU ARE PRIVATELY VERY SEXY, BUT YOU DO NOT BEG, YOU ARE WILLING TO SERVE AS TEACHER. SEX IS IMPORTANT; YOU CAN BE A VERY DEMANDING PLAYMATE.
-S-
YOU ARE SECRETIVE, SELF-CONTAINED, AND SHY. YOU ARE VERY SEXY, SENSUAL, AND PASSIONATE, BUT YOU DO NOT LET ON TO THIS. ONLY IN INTIMATE PRIVACY WILL THIS PART OF YOUR NATURE REVEAL ITSELF. WHEN IT GETS DOWN TO THENITTY-GRITTY, YOU ARE AN EXPERT. YOU KNOW ALL THE LITTLE TRICKS OF THE TRADE, CAN PLAY ANY ROLE OR ANY GAME, AND TAKE YOUR LOVE LIFE VERY SERIOUSLY. YOU DON'T FOOL AROUND. YOU HAVE THE PATIENCE TO WAIT FOR THE RIGHT PERSON TO COME ALONG.
-T-
YOU ARE VERY SENSITIVE, PRIVATE, AND SEXUALLY PASSIVE; YOU LIKE A PARTNER WHO TAKES THE LEAD. MUSIC, SOFT LIGHTS AND ROMANTIC THOUGHTS TURN YOU ON. YOU FANTASIZE, BUT DO NOT TEND TO FALL IN AND OUT OF LOVE EASILY. WHEN IN LOVE, YOU ARE ROMANTIC, IDEALISTIC, MUSHY, AND EXTREMELY INTENSE. YOU ENJOY HAVING YOUR SENSES AND YOUR FEELINGS STIMULATED, TITILLATED, AND TEASED. YOU ARE A GREAT FLIRT. YOU CAN MAKE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS FIT YOUR DREAMS, OFTEN TIMES ALL IN YOUR OWN HEAD.
-U-
YOU ARE ENTHUSIASTIC AND IDEALISTIC WHEN IN LOVE. WHEN NOT IN LOVE, YOU ARE IN LOVE WITH LOVE, ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO ADORE. YOU SEE ROMANCE AS A CHALLENGE. YOU ARE A ROAMER AND NEED ADVENTURE, EXCITEMENT, AND FREEDOM. YOU DEAL IN POTENTIAL RELATIONSHIPS. YOU ENJOY GIVING GIFTS AND ENJOY SEEING YOUR MATE LOOKING GOOD. YOUR SEX DRIVE IS STRONG AND YOU DESIRE INSTANT GRATIFICATION. YOU ARE WILLING TO PUT YOUR PARTNER'S PLEASURES ABOVE YOUR OWN.
-V-
YOU ARE INDIVIDUALISTIC, AND YOU NEED FREEDOM, SPACE, AND EXCITEMENT. YOU WAIT UNTIL YOU KNOW SOMEONE WELL BEFORE COMMITTING YOURSELF. KNOWING SOMEONE MEANS PSYCHING HIM OUT. YOU FEEL A NEED TO GET INTO HIS HEAD TO SEE WHAT MAKES HIM TICK. YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO ECCENTRIC TYPES. OFTEN THERE IS AN AGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR LOVER. YOU RESPOND TO DANGER, THRILLS, AND SUSPENSE. THE GAY SCENE TURNS YOU ON, EVEN THOUGH YOU YOURSELF MAY NOT BE A PARTICIPANT.
-W-
YOU ARE VERY PROUD, DETERMINED, AND YOU REFUSE TO TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER WHEN PURSUING LOVE. YOUR EGO IS AT STAKE. YOU ARE ROMANTIC, IDEALISTIC, AND OFTEN IN LOVE WITH LOVE ITSELF, NOT SEEING YOUR PARTNER AS HE OR SHE REALLY IS. YOU FEEL DEEPLY AND THROW ALL OF YOURSELF INTO YOUR RELATIONSHIPS. NOTHING IS TOO GOOD FOR YOUR LOVER. YOU ENJOY PLAYING LOVE GAMES.
-X-
YOU NEED CONSTANT STIMULATION BECAUSE YOU BORE QUICKLY. YOU CAN HANDLE MORE THAN ONE RELATIONSHIP AT A TIME WITH EASE. YOU CAN'T SHUT OFF YOUR MIND. YOU TALK WHILE YOU MAKE LOVE. YOU CAN HAVE THE GREATEST LOVE AFFAIRS, ALL BY YOURSELF, IN YOUR OWN HEAD.
-Y-
YOU ARE SEXUAL, SENSUAL, AND VERY INDEPENDENT. IF YOU CAN'T HAVE IT YOUR WAY, YOU WILL FORGO THE WHOLE THING. YOU WANT TO CONTROL YOUR RELATIONSHIPS, WHICH DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK OUT TOO WELL. YOU RESPOND TO PHYSICAL STIMULATION, ENJOY NECKING AND SPENDING HOURS JUST TOUCHING, FEELING AND EXPLORING. HOWEVER, IF YOU CAN SPEND YOUR TIME MAKING MONEY, YOU WILL GIVE UP THE PLEASURES OF THE FLESH FOR THE MOMENT. YOU NEED TO PROVE TO YOURSELF AND YOUR PARTNER WHAT A GREAT LOVER YOU ARE. YOU WANT FEEDBACK ON YOUR PERFORMANCE. YOU ARE AN OPEN, STIMULATING, ROMANTIC BEDMATE.
-Z-
FOR YOU, IT IS BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE. IF YOU ARE IN ANY WAY BOTHERED BY CAREER, BUSINESS, OR MONEY CONCERNS, YOU FIND IT VERY HARD TO RELAX AND GET INTO THE MOOD. YOU CAN BE ROMANTICALLY IDEALISTIC TO A FAULT AND ARE CAPABLE OF MUCH SENSUALITY. BUT YOU NEVER LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR EMOTIONS. YOU ARE VERY CAREFUL AND CAUTIOUS BEFORE YOU GIVE YOUR HEART AWAY AND YOUR BODY, FOR THAT MATTER. ONCE YOU MAKE THE COMMITMENT, THOUGH, YOU STICK LIKE GLUE

Ramblings of the damned

NOT REALLY POEMS BUT HEHE
I LIKE THEM
=========================

JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO PULL The TRIGER A BRIGHT FLASH INTERUPTED MY ATTEPMT
OF SUICIDE , WHICH UNTIL THAT MORNING I STILL HAD A HOPE OF MY LIFE GETTING
BETTER,UNTIL THAT MORNING WHEN I SAW MY HOPES DASHED AGAINSTHE ROCKS AS IF THEY
WERE A CRUSHED BODY (WITCH ) HAD JUST BEEN DASHED AGAINST THE SHORLINE. WHEN I
SAW THE ONE I LOVED WITH ALL MY HEART KISS SOMEONE ELSE AND THEN TO SEE HER WALK
HAND IN HAND WITH HIM OUT OF MY LIFE FOREVER.
I FINALY REALIZED I WAS ALWAYS MENT TO LIVE MY ACURSED LIFE ALONE . I FINALY
UNDERSTOOD MY LIFE WAS A WASTE OF AIR FOR THOSE WHO DID HAVE SOMEONE TO LOVE
AND BE LOVED BY.
I LOOKED TO SEE WHAT THE FLASH WAS , MAYBE HOPING IT WOIULD CHANGE MY LIFE FOR THE BETTER , BUT WHEN I LOOKED I SAW THAT IT WAS ONLY MY RING WHICH SHE HAD GIVEN BACK TO ME REFLECTING THE SUNLIGHT BACK IN TO MY EYES MOCKINGLY


...........CLICK, BANG.................
 
REASONS

WHEN THE WIND BLOWS
WHEN BELLS TOLL
WHEN BIRDS SING
WHEN CHIMES RING
NO MATTER THE SEASON
I THINK OF YOU
THERES ONLY ONE REASON
I DEARLY LOVE YOU

HAVE NO IDEA

WHEN DEMONS SCREAM
HUMANS WILL DREAM
OF FLYING SPECTERS
OF SWEET NECTERS
DREAMS OF FLIGHT
AND NOBLE RIGHT

VOID

EVERYONE THINKS LIFE IS GRAND
TO ME ITS JUST A ONE NIGHT stand.
TO THEM LIFE IS A DREAm
BUT IN MY SOUL I ONLY SCREAM.
YOU CANT TELL ME YOU UNDERSTANd,
DONT GIVE ME REPROMAND
I AWAIT DEATHS freezing embrace

rusted chains

honour and love have died
cruility and hate will always thrive
when my time arives
i will no longer hear there cries
the chains that have hold on me
will break and set me free
no longer will i cry for thee
then i may finaly fly free

 
nosferatus chant

drip drip here it comes
always beating like the drums
red and sweet as a flower
i will gain the true power

drip drip there it goes ever and constant it always flows
use a knife to give me life
watch it drain from my veins
once again ill feel no pain

as the sweet necter of life drains
life will begin and no longer will i feel the pains

i love you

i love you she said ,
we will be together forever she said .
i love you she said ,
dont worry she said .
i love you she said ,
there will be no other .
i love you she said ,
it wasnt to me.

illusiions

we think we know right from wrong but soon we forget and lose out sight .
we think theres a line between light and dark
but soon this place of mind leaves its mark
we kill the killers of men with the thought of the mighty pen
we think there are ways to cancil our sins so that we can make amends ,
we have the honoroble so few
becouse the men of this world would rather fued,

we think we where born of god
but in truth we were spawned

Angel & Icewolf

  Forever remembering The Angel and The Icewolf!
 
Upon a cloud of glistening white;
The Angel watches over her mountaintop
from whence her Icewolf first found happiness.
Through the valley of tears he sought her gentle touch.
A dark heart melted with her heart of gold.
Tears replaced with joy and smiles.
Kissed with life from an Angel's soul 
Forever implanted within.
Within these mists the Angel waits
for the one she holds so dear.
 
Happiness fills her soul at her magical gift of renewal for this beloved icewolf!
Tenderly her kisses brought him back to life.
Gently her hugs brought comfort to his soul.
Even the trees had become full of life when she appeared smiling from her cloud of white.
How beautiful now was life for the Angel and the Icewolf.
Free of worries; Free of fear.
A life now rich with beauty like never before.
A heart so true it fills the entire soul.
 
Forever remembering The Angel and The Icewolf!

The last time... by icewolf_nz

Written: 8/27/03 2:07am

The Last Time...

With dying breath did last I hold,
and then let go this heart so cold
For now no need,no fear of lie
No hurt nor darkness,where lovers fly
No just hold hands or walk with me,
but reach inside me just to see
In you behold,my love is true
tis how I feel my love for you
How you endure,how keep you strong,
and calm my anger,when know me wrong
Why did you stay and keep me so,
to lift me high when feeling low
You hold me to you,when need I hide,
and then become me deep inside
How not replace who came before,
but be the first that I adore
The first to share,be always mine
and show forever,you my love for all time

                                                                                                                                            

This time.... by icewolf_nz

Written: 8/27/03 2:04am

This time.......

Where once there was nothing,the emptiness cold
grew something familiar,remembered from old.
Through long nights awake and days filled with pain,
the onslaught unending,revisited again.
Yet now it subsides,as the sun from the sky,
leaving shades like those seen,in a tear from your eye.
As I sit now alone,reminiscent of times,
when all life was joy,and true love was mine.
How cruel life can be,when both taken away,
still now does it pain me,to think of that day.
And even so lessen,as I dream now of you,
like the day chases night,be your love I pursue.
Did I see how I held you,eyes closed in embrace,
wishing never to awaken,never leaving this place.
One day will I find you,one day will you know,
that I shall love you eternal,and never let go.
What grows now inside me,I thought would never return,
more so with each day,does my love for you burn.
Yet when will I tell you,are we two meant to be,
will my life become shared,with the girl of my dreams.

I have to say all these poems are very eloquently written and verse. I really enjoy words that feel such emotion and depth in range . Thank you for sharing them

For within the heart that has slept quietly in soft slumber. Dormant from not feeling love. A small illuminous light beckons awakening inside. The heart rejoices in rebirth feeling emotion all in the world that surrounds it. There is love for the heart, it thrives flourishes. It is awakened.

My Lady by icewolf-nz

Written: 8/27/03 2:01am

My Lady

Since times gone by,and times untold,I remember only one
,twas the time we met the very first,that burn`s me as the sun.
I recall the time,the date,the year,yet remember not the place.
Nor the scene the sound,nor those around,only the look upon your face.
Within your eye`s,I longed to stay,and keep me forever still,
for if you left or ran away,the pain would surely kill.
When first you left I was alone,and frightened at the thought,
and then you came and strong I felt yet still my feeling`s nought.
And then you took me in your eye`s,and stronger I became,
for with you here ,your love so dear my feeling`s found a name.
My being whole,my feeling`s complete,I knew then where I was.
Beside the one who knew me through,and loved you just because.

The Beauty of the Miracle of Love!

  Eyes full of tears listening to the heartbeat next to her...
How is this possible? She didn't deserve such a vision. She didn't deserve to be in this moment!
Laying beside her could only be a Dream in her eyes,
yet it was real for he was there!! She could smell him, touch him...This was no dream! This was no fantasy...This was real...
100% undeniably real.
Yet doubts still flooded her and she knew not why.
What had she done to deserve such a treat as this?
What had she done to be allowed this experience?
This, to her, was a miracle, an unexplained phenomenon... an unbelievable sight...
 Her heart was flooded with emotion as she listened to the breathing of this MAN, This gift from up above...
Even tho she was able to touch and breath him still she could not believe this was real...
The rise and fall of his chest gently beside her...
She stared for what seemed like forever fearing that if she stopped this vision would disappear and never return...
It seemed like hours as she lay watching him, drinking in this moment of uninibited emotion...
Silence filled her senses and all she heard was the magical sound of his breathing...
His essence brought life to her, made her real.
She never knew this joy before... this feeling had always been missing from her heart...
She had searched far and wide for this, only to be disappointed and heart broken...
But this morning that all changed for here she was feeling like a brand new babe...
Nothing will ever compare to this feeling of utter devotion.
She wanted to laugh, She wanted to cry, all at the same time...
Her emotions had burst...she was feeling everything that could possibly be felt...too numerous to mention even here...
Her sighs sounded like an Angel's cry of joy!
Her essence was pure and fresh...
She couldn't have asked for a better miracle.
Gently she wrapped her arms around her Love...
laying her head upon his chest, listened once more to the pitterpat of his heartbeat! She was finally HOME!
Tears from her eyes gently rolled down her cheeks and she smiled at her dear precious miracle...A silent prayer of thanks was given to the creator of her utter happiness...
Listening to this heartbeat next to her...she knew she finally found purpose in her world...and was forever happy!

DARN YOU QUEENIE.YOU MADE TEARS IN MY EYES FILL UP.THAT IS SO SWEET.
I CAN RELATE TO THAT ONE CAUSE I FINALLY FOUND MY MIRACLE,AND I KNOW HOW SHE FEELS. IT TRUELY IS A BLESSING FROM ABOVE WHEN TWO PEOPLE THAT ARE MEANT TO BE FINALLY FIND EACH OTHER. IT IS A FEELING LIKE NO OTHER AND CAN'T BE EXPLAINED. IT DOES MAKE AND BRING TRUE HAPPINESS INTO ONES LIFE WHEN IT HAPPENS.FOR GOD DOES KNOW WHAT WE ALL NEED IN OUR LIVES AND FOR SOME IT TAKES LONGER THAN OTHERS TO GET.BUT ONCE IT IS FOUND TRUE HAPPINESS MAKES THE HEART SING IN WAY THAT IS UNDESCRIBEALBE.IT MAKES ONE THINK OF WHAT THIS MISSED OVER THE YEARS.IT MAY TAKE AWHILE BUT THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE FOR EVERYONE TO FIND.

Messages from Detroit Friends circa 2003

This has been re-printed with permission from NewSoul of
the old Grand Rapids and Beyond group which is no longer.
 
Here are two articles that I have found about someone who has met women on the internet so he can come into contact with their children:
 
 
If anyone has had contact with this individual, and suspects anything like this has happened in your family, someone you know, or someone you have heard of, please contact your local police to report it.
 
If anyone is a Manager, or posts on other boards in or around Michigan, please share this information.

This is very important: We need your help!! This hits close to him as a dear friend of mine, Steve, aka NewSoul who happens to be the father in this case is trying to protect his children from this happening again. His oldest daughter is the victim in these articles and was forced by her mother's bf to perform oral sex on him... For more than 2 years. So please we need as many people as possible to protest the decision that these innocent children be returned to their mother who has allowed this to happen on a reg basis. These violaters need to be stopped...

Thank You!!!!!!!! Please post this on as many sites as you can. The more people are aware the more we can stop this abuse.

The mother did not cooporate with the police, did not get charged, and actually tried to cover up the crime.

Since she was not charged with a crime, the girls have since been returned to the mother

Thank you for posting this ladies. I definitely agree people such as this are threat to all children. It’s the worst thing I can imagine a child having to suffer from sexual abuse. I as a childcare professional care do what can to help. I will email my state legislature with my concerns along with the article's. We all love our children try to do right things so this important help in any way you can.

This is part of a conversation taken from the chatroom this morning from one of our family members! It's nice to receive compliments on hard work and perseverance; Though rare in occurrance, it's a pleasure when one thanks us for the work we try to do here. So here is part of that conversation and an e-mail that was sent to the Managers.>>

Memory of Romance!

Life takes a turn for the worst!
Compassion and respect have all but disappeared!
Where is the romance anymore?
Does it even still exist?
Where are the knights in shining armor who protects the lady's from distress?
Seems all just a fantasy today in this century!
No more do we see the white stallions galloping to save a damsel in distress as once was done in years gone by.
Often you wonder if ever a time will come when the past will catch up with the present.
Well considering what I see now I highly doubt that happening any time soon.
Only liars and users exist today in abundance.
Romance seems as rare and a perfect diamond. Oh if only to travel back in time to days of pure romance! That's where the real love existed.
===========================================================

SOMETIMES A KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR COMES ONCE IN A BLUE MOON.
SOME TIMES IT'S THE DAMSIL THAT IS HARD TO FIND NOT THE KNIGHT.
FOR IT MAY TAKE DAYS,MONTHS,OR EVEN YEARS TO FIND THAT PERSON IN SOME CASES.
BUT SOME WHERE SOME HOW THEY ALWAYS FIND EACH OTHER.
THEY SEARCH THE WORLD OVER TIL THEY DO AND GO THREW MANY CHANGES IN THEIR LIVES JUST TO FIND THAT RIGHT PERSON.
AND WHEN THEY DO IT IS TRUELY A BLESSING.

Knights and their "Damsels in distress".... in times of yore, understood and respected each other's limitations. And as a process of that understanding appreciated their assets. That magic...that  wonderful magic...is what seems to be lacking today.
===========================================================
From: AppealingCatherine_49 - - - - August 14, 2003
I think that today chivalry is still prevaling. Its the simplicity in smaller acts as opening a car door for a lady, pulling out her chair waiting for her to be seated first. Bringing her a small rose as a token of affection. Knowing woman needs emotionally to feel connected and special. Yes there are still White Knights today amoung us, you find them by the way they wear their heart. Their the ones who speak softly but wear a full and loving heart. Yes there still around. People connect through mutual respect and kindess no small deed of such ever goes unoticed in earnest.
===========================================================
From: Wickedjester22 - - - - August 14, 2003
THAT IS SO TRUE CATH.
========================
I AGREE WITH DREAM.THE MAGIC THAT MAKES A RELATIONSHIP STAY TOGETHER IS WHAT IS MISSING. THE TRUST, COMMUNICATION, RESPECT, LOYALITY,HONESTY,AND LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER ARE SOME QUALITIES THAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO HAVE IN THE RELATIONSHIP,WITHOUT ONE OF THEM IT WILL CUMBLE. AND WITH ALL OF THEM YOU HAVE A LIFE OF HAPPINESS WHY THEY ARE APPLIED. FOR SOME THINK MONEY MAKES THEM HAPPY.FOR THAT IS NOT THE CASE,FOR MONEY IS HERE TO HELP YOU GET BY IN LIFE, IT CAN'T BUY TRUE HAPPINESS. I KNOW I AM YOUNG BUT IN MY LIFE I HAVE BEEN THREW AND SEEN MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE WILL SEE IN THERE LIFE TIME. SO FOR ME THESE THINGS ARE LIKE FLOWERS,THEY ALL ARE NEED IN YOUR LIFE FOR DIFFERENT REASON.FLOWERS ARE LIKE PEOPLE WE BOTH NEED TENDER LOVIN CARE.THEY START OUT A SEED,AND AS YOU WATER IT IT STARTS TO GROW.THEN IT IS ALSO GIVEN SUNLIGHT LIGHT WHICH MAKES ITS GROW MORE.THEN THE FLOWER STARTS TO BLOOM.GIVE IT MORE WATER AND SOON YOU WILL SEE IT OPEN UP INTO A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER WHICH YOU CAN CHERISH WHILE IT IS HERE.

A Dream

A Dream
 
Good life is hard to find,
Quiet life is never mine,
Though never free I'll tell you why,
This life I live is like a dream,
With birds and bees around the bend,
Young and Old become great friends.
Everyone is happy and never sad,
Nothing Hurtful ever said.
Such would be the Dream life of mine

Another poem by me

From: AppealingCatherine_49 - - - - Sent: 7/16/2003 7:59 AM

You make my heart sing.
You make me feel this thing, called Love.
You awaken within me life, mine.
To know that I m truly loved, for the person I am, just myself.
To be loved so unconditional, freely, and be trusted with such love as yours.
This is a precious gift a treasure, unlike that of  precious gem or gold.
Your love I hold within my heart.
All I can give in return to your love is my own heart.
Trust in it, its inner strength, its abundance to love you, and only you.
For the depth my heart encompasses has no boundaries, what my heart feels surpasses time itself my love.

When is a heart strong enough to never hurt?

When is a heart strong enough not to break?
Is there an answer? Probably not.
Perhaps break isn't the right word to express a hurt that hopefully is temporary!
Perhaps it's just a crack that happens
 in the best of couples.
It's hard to say at this moment in time
what the best answer would be!
A heart is a sensitive organ and is easily hurt.
I doubt it's ever strong enough to withstand normal hurts of life.
Though the hurt sometimes is temporary the moment of hurt is/can be
just as devastating as a permanent one.
The saying goes "You always hurt the ones ya love". But why must it be that way?
I guess it's a way of growing closer to those you really care about.
I do hope that's true cause right at this moment, well it just don't feel that way.
It's times like these that ya just can't force happiness.
I just wish I had a stronger heart.
=============================
Is there truth in feelings of the heart?
Can love survive the test of time?
I've searched my soul for these answers.
And I've not received any response.
I am one who loves with everything that is dear.
Tho misunderstood it's a part of me.
Once I love with all my heart there's no turning back.
Nothing to stop me from feeling this way.
I just wish it was easy to love like in the olden days.
When simplicity was all it took.
Now there's so many complications and rules.
I will succeed with my endeavor to find the answers I seek.

A Dead Rose
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

 
O Rose! who dares to name thee?
No longer roseate now, nor soft, nor sweet;
But pale, and hard, and dry, as stubble-wheat,---
Kept seven years in a drawer---thy titles shame thee.

The breeze that used to blow thee
Between the hedgerow thorns, and take away
An odour up the lane to last all day,---
If breathing now,---unsweetened would forego thee.

The sun that used to smite thee,
And mix his glory in thy gorgeous urn,
Till beam appeared to bloom, and flower to burn,---
If shining now,---with not a hue would light thee.

The dew that used to wet thee,
And, white first, grow incarnadined, because
It lay upon thee where the crimson was,---
If dropping now,---would darken where it met thee.

The fly that lit upon thee,
To stretch the tendrils of its tiny feet,
Along thy leaf's pure edges, after heat,---
If lighting now,---would coldly overrun thee.

The bee that once did suck thee,
And build thy perfumed ambers up his hive,
And swoon in thee for joy, till scarce alive,---
If passing now,---would blindly overlook thee.

The heart doth recognise thee,
Alone, alone! The heart doth smell thee sweet,
Doth view thee fair, doth judge thee most complete,---
Though seeing now those changes that disguise thee.

Yes, and the heart doth owe thee
More love, dead rose! than to such roses bold
As Julia wears at dances, smiling cold!---
Lie still upon this heart---which breaks below
thee!

How Do I Love Thee?
 by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, -- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! -- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
