you are like the sun, bringing warmth to my heart....
you are like the moon, bringing light to my darkness....
you are like the sea, bringing life to my depths....
you are my love, and my love i hope you will always be....

Keli...I Akin You To a Rose
The haunting fragrance of your skin beckons me to proceed within.
The castle walls drab and cold with stories echoed, heard, and told.
A room inside, resplendent charm beneath the light you do disarm.
A furtive glance doth race my heart, angelic grace do you impart.
Viewed from afar a rose you be, beautiful to view and fine to see.
Gossimer petals enshroud your soul each layer imparts me to my goal.
Peeling back as time goes by to know you now and wonder why.
Your inner self most beautiful by far, heated passion for life doth
noone bar. For I akin you to a rose, to know and praise you with this prose.

Stand in the circle of power.
Breathe the air of what came before.
Look into an animal and see the fear.
Walk along a path of Wards.
See in others a darkness so intense
See in others a light so bright.
Know your future better than your past.
Find clues in a flower.
See disease in an entire generation
Realise it is your own
Fight a power so immense.
Know your friends are false.
And you will not get an inkling
Of what it means to be us.
By Lady Wench
Hearts on fire…
Sharing our desire…
You i can feel..
As if it were real.
Holding you tight…
Out of everyone’s sight…
Born of a fantasy's role...
Finding that You own my soul.
Smiling at Me so sweetly..
you have entranced Me completely..

For my Father....
Thoughts of a tall man come to mind
One with dancing brown eyes and dark hair
This man's my father who's now left us behind
But deep in our hearts he'll always be there
I remember fondly, his zest for life
His laughter,his humor, his wit.
But most of all I remember,
the love he shared for my mother his wife.
And then suddenly it all seems to fit.
For when I look upon another, I often find
That I'm drawn first to their smile and then their eyes
And my father comes to mind
Just a couple of things I reflect on and think about awhile
Forgetting the reasons why
My father worked hard for a living
And he often made us laugh
When he'd steal a kiss from our mother
who he called his better half
And it's memories like these that I find I miss
Cherished memories from just a simple kiss.
But my father left his children
all a very precious gift
And for this I thank my lucky stars above
And as my mind once more begins to drift
I see now that it was my father
who taught me how to love.

The WishGranter
He was tall, dark and handsome, a bit of a rogue,
But he had a winsome charm.
And every woman in the Hall
would be proud to be seen on his arm.
He was six foot six, his eyes were gray,
And all were alert to his presence.
His manner was easy and friendly and warm,
And his smile was most wicked but pleasant.
And on his hip he wore a whip
which he knew well how to use.
He cracked it for fun, to undress everyone
But never to abuse.
"I'm here to grant a wish," he said,
"If it's within my power.
Some wishes take but a moment,
While others take up to an hour."
He strode across the cold stone floor
And stopped at the Spreader Bar.
"Drinks are on me tonight, barkeep,"
As he pulled out a platinum card.
"Chivas for me, three rocks," he said,
As he gazed about the Hall.
And through the dimness and the smoke,
He spied her near the wall.
Her eyes were blue and her hair was red
And it shone in the candlelight.
He was drawn to her, but it was plain to see
Her Irish was up tonight.
He dusted his boots and straightened his tie,
and tugged on the brim of his Stetson.
The bartender said, "She's a pistol tonight!"
And the gentleman grinned, "Want to bet, son?"
He finished his drink, gave the barkeep a wink,
And walked slowly to her table.
"I'm WishGranter," he said, "and if you have a wish,
I'm ready, willing and able."
She felt his gaze before she heard his voice,
and her cheeks became warm and flushed.
"I'm Ansara," she smiled, "and the pleasure is mine,"
she said in a tone soft and hushed.
He extended his hand, and with twinkling eyes
Invited her into the shadow.
"I'll join you sir," and she winked as she rose,
"I've heard you're a bit of a cad, though."
"You have nothing to fear," and he kissed her ear
And took her face in his hands.
As he kissed her lips, she bent to his will
And obeyed her own passion's demands.
Deeper into the shadows they moved,
And he pressed her back to the wall.
"Tonight I want more than a kiss," he grinned.
"Tonight I want it all."
"My love, you take my breath away.
Hold me tight lest I fall!"
With that he lifted her in his arms
And carried her from the Hall.
And as he walked to his chamber door,
He turned and flashed a smile.
"Excuse me, my friends. Enjoy your drinks.
I must take my leave for a while."
Ansara
Ansara
More perfect than a rose, you are
much more brilliant than any star,
Soaring above, you captured my heart
It was your's from the very start.
And Now we journey this life together,
Waiting for the 12th of never
For it is not until that day of 12
That this heart of mine will forget our love.
Even then without a doubt, I know for sure,
My love for you will always endure.
So gently gaze upon this Rose so Red,
And know in your heart, your man has said
He loves you deeply, and unconditionally,
For now, and all enternity.

~~THE SUNRISE~~
I've never seen the mountains I've hardly seen the sea
Many of these things are still a great mystery to me.
But I've seen things that others do
perhaps maybe from a different point of view.
The sun rising in the sky
always seems to bring a tear to my eye
For the wonderment of it amazes me
at just how beautiful it can be.
Bringing forth a sky of grey
and making it a watercolor with its first ray.
Then while the sun is lost in its painting in the sky
A pleasant melody fills the air and I wonder why.
Some songbirds perched high up in a tree
Begin to chirp with delight at what they seem to see
calling out to all around
To come and see the magic that they've found.
Their song lingers awhile in the air
as they take flight, I wonder where?
Maybe far off to the sea
a sea that remains still a mystery to me.
But even though I can only imagine
the mountains in all their majesty
And the waves pounding a rhythm in the sea,
I've seen something that the others don't know
for I've been touched by a rainbow.
Lady Maxie
As a friend
I've loved you lonely
and wanted you happy
I've thought of you often
and wanted to hold you
so many times
but as a dreamer
i simply hoped that you
would understand me
and thought that maybe
you know how much i care
thought i've never taken
the time to tell you
how much you are cherished

Net Angels
A breathtaking angel I have seen this nite, I must truly be blessed to have
witnessed such a sight.
A sweet faced doll winking down at me, her beauty warping ‘round and
trapping me.
With fiery hair, of hand spun gold, and a forest green velvet dress of old.
She smiles down to me and offers her hand, thoughts wander to what she has
planned.
As my lil’ net angel sings her lilting songs, I know she would never do me
wrong.
Chasing away the Moat Monsters that forever pelage me, forgiving public
posts mean only for she.
Giving freely of her tender sweet love, standing in the forest just a
fragile lil’ dove.
Her eyes shining bright in the nite, her kisses from Gaia a wondrous
delight.
You may hear them all say, leave our lil’ angel alone, don’t chase her away
this forest is her home.
So this nite as I lay at her side, Stormy comes up as Luna plays with the
ocean tide.
And I thank the Lady Life for the gift you have sent, for my net angel and
the nite she spent.

:REFLECTIONS OF LOVE:
IF YOU LOOK DOWN UPON THE WORLD IT WONT SMILE ON YOU
AND IF YOU DONT WALK THROUGH THE RAIN THE SKIES WILL NOT TURN BLUE
IF YOU NEVER CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN YOU CNAT SEE THE OTHER SIDE
AND IF YOU NEVER FALL IN LOVE.. THEN YOU'VE NEVER BEEN ALIVE
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW HAPPINESS UNTIL YOU'VE FELT THE PAIN
GOD NEVER MADE A RAINBOW WITHOUT FIRST MAKING RAIN
YOU SAY YOU DONT FELL THIS WAY DEEP INSIDE YOUR HEART
BUT YOU'LL NEVER REACH THE FINISH LINE UNTIL YOU FINALLY START
YOU SAY I SHOULD JUST GIVE UP.. THAT I CANT UNLOCK THE DOOR
BUT I WILL ALWAYS FEEL THIS WAY UNTIL MY LIFE'S NO MORE
IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE STARS AND IN THE HEAVENS ABOVE
TWO HEARTS THAT FEEL THE WAY WE DO.. I KNOW WERE MEANT FOR LOVE
SO WHEN YOU THINK OF GIVING UP AND THAT YOUR SEARCH IS THROUGH
LOOK INTO THESE EYES OF MINE AND SEE A REFLECTION OF YOU..
ALL THE DREAMS YOU HAVE ARE MINE
AND HAPPINESS TOGETHER I KNOW THAT WE WOULD FIND
IT'S NOT UP TO ME TO FIND YOUR DREAMS OR TELL YOU WHAT TO SEE
BUT IF YOU ARE WHAT I AM THEN THE ANSWER IS SURELY ME..
TAKE THIS POEM I WROTE FOR YOU AND PUT IT IN YOUR HEART
SOMEDAY YOU WILL FIND THAT LIFE FOR US IS MERELY JUST THE START
AND WHEN THE EARTH WILL MOVE NO MORE AND YOU CANNOT THINK
OUR TIME ON EARTH COMPARED TO LOVE IS ONLY HALF A BLINK
JUST SOME THOUGHTS THAT YOU INSPIRED LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO
NO ONE ELSE IN MY LIFE HAS EVER COMPARED LIKE YOU
GOLDENWINGS
You walk amongst the forest trees.
A canopy in shades of green.
The sun, it sparkles on a lake,
A clearing where the dwellers play.
Beside a fire burning strong,
Somebody has left a....thong? *ewwww*
But fear not here for we are sweet.
Better peoples you won't meet.
Though pies will fly and so will cheese,
They will bless you when you sneeze. *giggle*
Towels in the hollowed tree
For those the moat does often greet.
Dragons, pixies, lords and ladies.
Bats and rainbows; bad guys? Maybe. *G*
Knights with swords are always near,
Play on, have fun and never fear.
Too good, you say, to be true?
Come in and see, let us prove
That here beneath the forest trees
A magic land awaits for thee.

Mother
My insanity rages, conceptions wilt
Perceiving frustration, no alliance to guilt
Reliving all, my childhood fears
Storms breathe revenge, on my inner sphere
I taste a passion, a burning desire
A soul can not douse, my creative fire
Seeking answers, to questions I ask
To serve a stranger, ghosts in my past
I seek a road, a path to life
Narrow minded people, betray my sight
A road to happiness, a journey becomes
To unite my soul, to give me as one
I grow old with time, with no regrets
The past has gone, no time to reflect
Where were you when I needed you Mother?
For a son's love, is like no other
I close this chapter, with good intent
Word were said, but never meant
I'll close the book, I'm on my own
From a boy to a man, I have grown
She'll never know
She was everything to me
As beautiful as the sunset
Her warmth, love and smile
Something I'll never forget
How badly I fell for her
How deep, she'll never know
For I have kept my secrets
But my heart won't let go
I was desperate to tell her
To share with her my soul
But I lost my only chance
A chance I'll never know.....

No Wrong Words
We speak our hearts desire
each and every hour
No wrong words
do we hear ...
because we dont listen
with only our ear....
Our hearts are bare
for each to see.....
No wrong words
is the key........
For you carress
my soul each day.....
When there are
no words to say....
Joanie 12/20/97
I take a peek at your picture
then wonder what I see...
I see your smiles so sweet
yet real they will never be...
I see my soul fly when ever your near
but then you kiss me upon my cheek
and I know that our love is
something you fear......
You have left your tender touch
upon my heart....
that when your gone,
were just mearly apart.....
the storms have followed me
and yet when I look I find you
that is what I see.......
A man to love yet never caress
A man to hold and never possess
A man to cherrish and never control
A man that completes my very soul
Your tender touch upon
my heart
And try as we may
we may not part
For what we have
others may not see
And you just say
its just me......
Joanie 12/27/97
He Dark Wolf
the woodlands is where His pathways lie-
where He seeks His wisdom
where He seeks His strength
where He seeks His solitude
His power and rest
where the essences of His soul runs strong and free
where He is one with the natural order of things to be....
His pride in His movements and instincts emerge
as His spirit lives on the gentle breezes and soars with
the winds
and in the darkness, one can hear, His cries
His howls are often unique
in listening, one can understand His needs.......
the woodlands is His church, where He travels silently
the pathways of His life
so His soul can be free
He is darkness
He is fire and life
He is wolf
He is a girl's Master
He is Dark Wolf

Inside Of Me
Tell me what's inside of me,
The part I cannot be.
I'm on the inside looking out,
Sometimes it's hard to see.
What is it I do not know,
What so close within myself.
I must keep looking for that thing,
What? I cannot tell.
There's an empty place in my life,
I can't quite seem to fill.
I'm growing up to leave behind,
The me I knew so well.
I realize now I've wasted time,
Searching for things unknown.
There's no vacancy in there,
The answer is, I've grown.
My Love
Look into my eyes, my love,
Tell me what you see,
Your smile feeds my spirt,
Your gaze has captured me.
Listen to my words, my love,
Tell me what you hear,
They catch deep within my throat,
As I force away a tear.
Reach out and touch my hand, my love,
Your love will carry me,
But if we have to say goodbye,
Will you remember me?
Future Love
I heard a voice in my dreams,
A whisper from afar.
I know your waiting for me,
But I don't know who you are.
For everyone there's someone,
I've heard that line before.
I don't know if that's true,
I'll find out what's in store.
Still I hear that voice,
That whisper from a far.
Why don't you show your face to me?
Please tell me who you are.
Performance
The girl is nervous,
As she remembers with fright,
That her ballet performance,
Is scheduled for that night.
She glosses her lips,
Powders her nose,
And looks for the light,
to signal her pose.
Lovely and small,
Fragile and light,
She glides through the air,
Dressed all in white.
By the end of the night,
Her body is sore,
But she knows that tomorrow,
She'll dance even more.
You'll Never Know
You gave me my wings,
And taught me to fly.
You didn't hold back,
You showed me the sky.
You gave me the world,
On a silver tray.
You taught me of love,
and the games people play.
You gave me the strength,
To stand alone.
And all the confidence,
To make it on my own.
You gave it all,
But you'll never know.
Just how much,
You helped me grow.
For You My Friend
I send you a smile,
For just being there.
By my side when I'm down,
And showing that you care.
I send my love,
For caring for me.
When I was sick or hurt,
Or wanted company.
I send you a rainbow,
For saying to me.
The sun needs the rain,
For a rainbow to be.
I'd send you the world,
If dreams could come true.
For a friend takes it all,
Then returns it to you.
Hope
a beginning
Here in this grove of trees
under the shade of a great oaks leaves.
I asked you to be My wife,
and to share my , humble life.
To My relief you said yes,
your answer I had not dared to guess.
It was with your gentle kiss,
that you gave Me eternal bliss.
To seal our bound I gave you a ring
it had no precious stone, it was a simple thing.
As I slipped on your hand this symbol of love,
I silently gave praise to the Gods above .
For all of my secret dreams were coming true,
I was beginning a life with My love , with
you...
