about your poem: I wrote this poem on an 8 hour flight....ugg!!! This lady behind us had like 5 kids who were kicking us in the back.  Anyway, this is just my personal, funny out-take on the whole situation.     Freedom by Amber Musick   Oh how I long to be free,  From this enclosed cavity.  Annoying kids,  Screaming moms,  What the hell did we do wrong?  Up in the air,  Miles away,  Our cares have yet to float away.  Relaxation,  One more hour,  The lady behind us has no power.  Sarcasm spews,  Like sap from a tree.  Please, dear god, let us, soon be free © Amber Musick   When First I Saw Your Soft Brown Eyes by T. R. Barnett  When first I saw your soft brown eyes  My thoughts exhaled with every breath  I could not speak save in my heart  Enchanted by your loveliness.  You stole my heart with lavish smiles  While stars unveiled their glittering hue  And brought along with evening shade  The beauty of eternal youth.  I should have been my lady fair  A gallant Cavalier  And you a maiden in distress  To rescue from the dragon's lair.  Through all the years we've been together  My heart still soars on Angel wings  Each day rewarded with new pleasure  By the grandeur of the songs you sing.  Yet still I see those soft brown eyes  That danced upon this poet's soul  And stirred within a lovers heart  A passion that forever grows! ©  Thomas R. Barnett

I AM by Cynthia   I am the sun, the moon, the stars.  I am the history, the realities, the dreams.  I am joy, tears, laughter.  I am the forests, the desert, the wilderness.   I am the past, the present, the future.  I am the wind, the rain, the snow.  Make of me what you will,  For I am you, and you will be with me forever. ©Cynthia   (website)   Compus Mentis(?)  by Ang Harwood I feel a shivering, a quivering kind of feeling, lying flat on the floor, looking up at the ceiling. Losing control of all sensations, sensing a loss of communication between empty heart and heavy head, legs becoming like lumps of lead. Hiding in darkness, yet craving light, keep dreaming, don't give up the fight. Building mindless towers in a powerless mind, erected against the daily grind of normality, a reality? I am a fly in a spider's web, wrapped safely in her silken thread. A false security, secure in falsety, I pretend.... ©  Ang Harwood

The Forgotten one .   by Lord Pineapple In the prone silence of the body There still beats a heart Gentler now that death Has started to arrive In the form of a cancer That eats up the skin. In the prone silence of the body There still pulsates a brain Sharper than ever Now that the future is shrinking Into a nothingness Of a grey void. In the prone silence of the body A smile begins As it touches the simple pleasures of life So long forgotten, When time was as eternal As the waves upon the shore. ©  Lord Pineapple      website   A Personal Eulogy  by Leigh Engel When I have passed, I ask of thee Within your heart, remember me; In thought, recall sweet memory -of precious moments passed. If love for me, you hold within Know that we will meet again Great reunion we'll share then -For eternity to last. When I have passed from this life on Let not grief be all thought upon Think of times before I'd gone -Give comfort those outlived me. If somewhere in my life, have I Brought grief to you before I died Do know that on my knees, I've cried That almighty God forgive me. If my presence felt, please do not fear it In the breeze I'll whisper for you to hear it For I am near you...here in spirit -Even as you mourn. Wipe the tear stains from your face For I have reached far better place 'Twas lifted with Heaven's sweet embrace -To a new beginning, reborn. For those that were to me so close Those people that I loved the most Take comfort knowing I arose -I await you each, above. And though I wake on earth no more As the many times I have before I await thee now at Heaven's door -To embrace again in love. ©    Leigh Engel

line after line by peter stayne spin cycle concious deep freeze edit line after line of black static noise rudder tale stretched in purple and black that one pristine moment speech slows to a crawl all the words i hear are i love you again and again contact unneccessary we know each other now as the lost and now found i love this moment tossed overboard heard over again and again she is so beautiful minefield of cliches all the words i hear are i love you ©   peter stayne     website   Armageddon   by nobel victor  This infant species   Which has yet to learn to walk,   Is crawling towards a cliff   Led by the haunting sounds   Of a spring breeze above  And the beckoning, crashing waves,  Down below.  Yet to the cliff we race.  Shoving each other aside.  As we rush up, to the edge  To fall  Do we know what is in the waters below?  To survive  Holding to nothing but a winning dream?  Those we shoved aside as we rose,  Higher up that most challenging peak?  Did they push us over?  Will we make it back to shore,   To try that climb again?  Or will we succumb  To the monsters of the sea ©  nobel victor
