Terry -- I hope you found the Jeff Healy version, his is the best... I saw him in concert way back when... I feel in love with the man,  damn good looking, talented, sexy voice... I felt like every song he sang was for me.<BR>
<BR>
I've got a ink work for you... email me [email-masked] and I'll send it as soon as I get home, its not what I was thinking when I started out.... and I'm not sure if you'll be able to use it, but I think its ok.<BR>

Terry - I can't say I disagree with your ending of Angel's poem either.  It's a cool twist nevertheless.<BR>
<BR>
And "Angel Eyes" is a great song.  Jeff Healy is blind by the way.  Plays a regular guitar in his lap like a steel.<BR>
<BR>
As long as we're on the subject of eye songs I vote for -<BR>
"Hungry Eye's " by Eric Carmen!

Certainly wasn't the Don Henley version now was it?  Short, sweet and to the point!  Good job.

  "Hungry Eyes" by Eric Carmen?!! Ha! I had a picture of Eric Carmen in my first nonlinear scrapbook when I was in the ninth grade. With a caption cut outta a magazine that said,"Don't hate me because I'm beautiful." When I showed the picture to my partner in crime Vicky Rodriquez, she cracked up laughing and said,"More like,'don't hate me because I'm ugly!'" I realize this is irrelevant and I admit to once owning the "Dirty Dancing" soundtrack. Both of em!<BR>
  Thanks for the compliment on my horny poem. You know...I actually had an erotic dream about Don Henley once. Dreams are strange territory. <BR>
...my vote for best "eyes" song would have to be "I Saw Red" by Warrant. It's not REALLY an "eye" song but I LOVE how it begins:<BR>
"oooh it must be magic how inside your eyes I see my destiny/everytime we kiss I feel you breathe your love so deep inside of me"<BR>
I wanted to submit that song to the Blender once but Autumn says it's not really a love song. It's about cheating. It COULD be categorized under LOVE LOST.<BR>
   Anyway. Way past my bedtime. Hasta luego!

Paul - Jeff H is amazing on stage, even though he plays the guitar on his lap he doesn't stay sitting the whole time, he grooves about.... AMAZING.

by the way -- don't you think being made love to by someone who is blind would be incredibly sensual... very touchy... oh my.... Jeff H does it for me all the way. &lt;fanning herself with the CD cover&gt; check out 'while my guitar gently weeps' too.. old Beatles number... MMMMmmmmmm

     I got some splaining to do, dear Blenderites...The poem that dee posted was written just last week...I sent it to her for an opinion----and she floored me by saying that it inspired a painting...when she asked if they could be posted together---how could I say no? <BR>
<BR>
      Our Dee is a world class talent---her work is amazing...but on my own I never would have posted such a huge piece...I broke every rule with She Who Loved...and I feel abashed to have loaded you all down with something that...large. In my own defense---my favorite writing teacher said to write a poem till it's finished.Well...I did. It was inspired by a greek myth---Poseidon wasn't a sleaze like Zeus...the myths only named one woman who supposedly bore him a child---and she accomplished this by scooping water into her lap until she got pregnant...<BR>
<BR>
       That myth always bothered me...so I wrote my own version...<BR>
<BR>
       Thank you for your patience...and forgive me Kirk? <BR>
<BR>
       And last but far from least---Dee, I cannot tell you how honored I am, nor how delighted by the painting! Waterfall was exquisite---but this...wow! My sincere and humble thanks to you.......<BR>
<BR>

Guppy ~ I'll take that as an apology of sorts and try to make a good apology poem for you too. I'm sorry I went off so hard on you. I shouldn't have done so publicly. You are more mature than I to have never mentioned me by name in your parodies of me and more experienced than I in how to love people quietly, nicely, and without losing a bit of control. I know you don't really want to be friends, exactly, but I would enjoy being polite acquaintences that get some enjoyment out of each other's work. <BR>
<BR>
All ~ Your work is excellent. I'm so much less inspired again. (Thank goodness) Apologies for the mess and gratitude to all.<BR>
<BR>
Kirk ~ thanks for putting up with me, us, etc. I don't know how you do it. It must be love. =P

   Check out "While my Guitar Gently Weeps"?  You forget, I drove 800 miles to see Ringo outside Memphis.  I'm the biggest Beatle nut I've ever met.  I have all their stuff on CD after owning it on album and 8-track.  One whole wall of my office is covered with photos, posters, mirrors and ticket stubs.  The originaly peace and love group!  No one better before and nothing better since!  My mother asked me not long ago, how I can still be listening to the same music after 35 years and my response was:<BR>
When I love something, I love it forever.

Paul I agree on 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' and the Beatles...but now I want to hear Healy's take on it too...<BR>
<BR>
My trouble is I like too much..never enough time to listen...sad. Another great tune is Bon Jovi..'Bed of Roses'<BR>

michael---hey man...i never really was mocking you or anything...i'm not exactly sure why you thought i was...none of my poems have been about you...nor have they been mockeries of you or your situation...i don't know you...i write about my life and my experiences with twists of fiction thrown in...or some are just pure fiction...or my takes on romance and the philosophies of love that go along with it...<BR>
<BR>
i think it's a good thing when people can relate to some of my stuff...lets me know that i'm not completely insane and all...i guess i'm kinda sorry if you thought that i have writing about you...i think if you were to go back and read many of my old subs that they would be pretty similar to the stuff i write now...<BR>

Guppy ~ Well then I have been oversensitive, vain, and very childish. Wouldn't be the first time. It wasn't you that did "Liar" and "meditation on appreciation"? Meditation really really sounded like you..getting poked at doesn't normally hurt that bad but I've been really emotional lately. Extremely. Take care.<BR>
