To Love

It is a wanting
a Longing
a needing
Someone
wanting, longing, needing also

To give,
to share,
to dream,
to be one with

Hand in hand
Side by side
minds connected
souls bound by Longing and Loving

I wish you Love.

Treasures Found

Recently, while moving, I found some poems I wrote many years ago that I thought that I had lost. I thought that I would share a couple of them:

May 22, 1981

The world is a dance floor
crowded with people

Everywhere I look
no partner is left.

Everyone is taken
everyone but me.

I am the odd one
left to dance alone.

You excite my mind
expanding my horizons
Thus making my world exciting

You challenge my wit and
encourage it back
thus adding humor to my day

You sense my feelings and understand
thus making me feel important

You share your thoughts and concerns
Thus showing that you trust

You always keep me guessing
thus adding adventure to my life

You will always smile
Thus letting me know you care

You are all these things and more
Thus my reasons for loving you.

I wonder if you. . .

. . . feel
. . . see
. . . want
. . . need and
. . . Love

Like me?

As I look outside
the wind blows and the snow falls
till the seasons change


After the rains start
the flowers start to come up
then kissed by the sun.

Barefoot in the grass
the hot sun beaming down
until the night comes

Sitting outside now
the orange sun is setting
down to go to sleep

Simple Shoes


written by: Janette © 2010 Janette Marie



The man that wears the Simple shoes
he fills so many different pairs
each one has a special place
within the world we live


First lets talk about his loving shoes
filled with kindness from his heart
polished with his gentle hands
to see that those he meets will shine


These Loving Shoes are very large
wide enough to hold the world
safe within their warm embrace
giving and caring to all in need


These Loving shoes take extra care
for young and sick alike
the little ones that need the Love
are taken in his care


Oh, how the world is truly blessed
to know this man with Loving Shoes


The Man that wears these Simple Loving Shoes
His name is Michael Jackson

Fairytale

written by: Janette Marie July 2010

Once upon a lifetime
there was a handsome boy
he stole the heart of a sweet young girl
totally by surprise

They've only known each other
by the sharing of the written word
but hearing who the other is
by these special rhyming words

A love this true
will never be blue
it's shared between two
she'll spend a lifetime with you.

Do you have a clue?

Do you have a clue

what I'm wishing you

a day that gives to you

sunshine mixed with a sky so blue



Every tweet that comes from you

you tweet my heart a clue

you share a peek of you

in all that you do



Do you have a clue

what I'm wishing you?

You've Autographed My Heart


written by: Janette Marie © 2010 Janette Marie



The warmth of the sun
comforts my heart
These days that we're apart
endless dreams of days to come
when we'll share contented joy

Glimpses of your smile
shine brightly from your heart
sharing deeply all your love
you've autographed my heart

The open field of fireflies
our playground to discover
each other's precious spirit
to build a life together
the rhythm of our hearts

Glimpses of your Smile
shine brightly from your heart
sharing deeply all your Love
You've autographed my heart.

The coolest of nights
with the brightest Moon
creates magic in our hearts
sitting quietly together
among God's great creations
twin souls find they are content

Glimpses of your smile
shine brightly from your heart
sharing deeply all your love
you've autographed my heart.

In the Night

In the quiet of the night
I can hear your heart beating

In the stillness of the night
I can feel your breath on my face

In the dark of the night
I feel your lips on my cheek
and your tender touch along my face

My sweetest Love I long to see your face
to see you smile, to hear you laugh
to know your thoughts throughout the day
to share our time and enjoy Love



Love is often misunderstood
to love you is to give you happiness
truest love asks for nothing but recieves all it needs
I pledge Love to you in the purest form I can give
and I promise everyday to practice till perfect

My heart needs you
my mind desires yours
my loves desires a place to grow
and it's chosen your heart.

Reflections of Love

written by: Janette Marie December 25, 2009

Love; a very simple word
yet holds meaning beyond our understanding.
Love is free and yet priceless
easy to say; difficult to practice.

Love is an emotion~Love is an action
and action is where we sometimes fail.
Love is a state of mind.
You see people around you differently
when we choose to see them with loving eyes.
This is seeing without hate and without prejudice
without jealousy, without anger, without fear
It is seeing with trust

When we see a baby
we all see the baby with eyes of Love
doesn't matter its color, its religion
its positon in the world
We see the baby; the creation of God
and we see the baby with loving eyes
this is how we should see each other

See each others' presence
as a blessing and be wise
with our time and treat each other
as God's special creations

To care for, to guide,
to encourage, to heal
to give our love freely
for the welfare of the other person

This is Love
unselfish and pleasing to God
Love is a challenge
Love is its reward
I love you ~ is a promise.

Perfect World

Sitting here in my hometown
Watching the sun upon the ground
the trees no longer have the leaves
with colors that make you smile

The green of the grass has faded
awaiting the white blanket of winter
today seems cold and lonley
you're not smiling I can feel

My heart feels heavy
having watched unfold
the stories told only yesterday
that tested your endurance

Why can't this be a perfect world
no hurts ~ no sorrows
no fears ~ no tears
I long for a happy tomorrow
when a smile returns to you.

Perfect PlanIT

All Nations
All People
where do we go from here
stand up and be heard
united and committed
raise our voice of unity

Make differences
opportunities for strength
bask in our uniqueness
join hands
all nations
all people stand up and be heard

Our Planit Needs our voice
speak for our trees
sing for our birds
roar for our tigers

We ride on this Planit together
United we must fight for it
together we live on it
or together we'll parish on it


The rhyhm of our voices
join together
reversing the tides to our better tomorrow
step onto the path
lets's Planit

Overcome our fears
challenge and conquer every obstacle
find the courage to begin
step up and accept your role
we all have a part in the PlanIT

Reach high touch a cloud
leave your handprint on it
Jump high for the rainbow
slide down the other side they join our lands

Oceans won't divide us
their waters cleanse us
united adn committed my friends across the oceans

Freedom-Love
Tolerance-Acceptance
Understanding-Peace
Choose Peace not war
choose LOVE not hate
knowledge conquers Prejudice
when I know you - you matter
together we achieve
god's pure Love and Joy
this is LOVE

Rainbow round the Moon
so like your hold upon my heart
a colorful circle of comfort
enclosing the warmth of your love.

SUN AND MOON

God's Beauty
perfectly poised
in circular existance
radiating light to make life
a life of light; two lives of love
growing by day; creating by night
evolving beings, lovely and bright
