mysteriousone07: Jealous is great. I really like it a lot. Jealousy is really dangerous: it has caused a great many wars personally and globally all over the world for as long as we know...
Babygirl ~ I read what you write here, and I like it, but I don't know anything about you, your life, your age, your thoughts....but I just HAVE to say...if there is a man out there who loves you and you KNOW it (think: AJ) and there's a man you're with who doesn't show it (think: your boyfriend of the moment) I'd say, in my wisdom of years and loves, CHOOSE THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU! Maybe you're young, maybe you chase what is not good for you...but just know that if you let a good man walk away you WILL regret it in years to come.
Just a thought.

RainbowChaser - Hey :) Thanks for noticing :) I hear your poem in a number of ways, some of it slower but parts a little more upbeat and powerful... it could work! I get my inspiration from people I meet, not necessarily guys (or any one in particular). Usually its a combination of the people I find myself around. But sometimes a piece may be inspired directly by one other person...Usually its a reflection of whats going on in my head at the time, a type of 'thinking out loud' in a sense. I really love your other work btw :) Keep it up, I enjoy reading. Happy times to you!
Jon, Gd bless you! Your poems!!! WOW. I read them again and again and cried.
Amazing.
Bravo, Jon!! I will still love her is delightful!!
Gala ~ Thank you for the honors! Being chosen as one poem among others of such quality is a value on it's own, but being chosen by a writer of your caliber is truly a prize.

Is it usual for being in love to be tiring? i feel so drained its not even funny. plz ignore me i'm a tad bit off at the moment.
I submitted a poem entitled "I'm Guilty". Just wondering what happened to it. I put it under the heading of Love Lost. Does it take awhile to get posted?
Just wondering.
Try scrolling down the page it's there.

your poem kicks my poem's ass! I didn't even deserve an honorable mention but thank you.
Thanks to Gala, as always, and to Kirk for the cute Rudolph heart!
...now I'm going to put up the little fake four foot tree I bought at Wal-Mart and decorate every spare inch of that sucker. I can't wait to hang up my new Rudolph ornament! I want to get the Yukon dude and Herbie the Elf and the snow monster thing to keep him company.
