Hi Michael, I came to FS today, it has been a long time. I remember you as a dear friend. This beautiful poem was written in 1998, now is January 2020...it seems a lifetime ago. I hope, and I pray that you are well. Mi miss you. I would like to know how you are doing.

    Hi...smile
    Yes it's been awhile, and I'm glad you remember me well...as I you.
    I heard or read your operation successful and I smiled from my heart to hear..I sincerely prayed for that victory. I havent really been willing I guess to reach in and let others see what hurts me...only thing vulnerability changes is how often your challenged. I dont trust a lot of people anymore. I've been thinking about getting another dog though since Emmy died. Smile...I hope your sight captures only the beautiful in life from this day forward may your feet follow happiness and contentment. Love Michael

    I am very touched about your words here: "I hope your sight captures only the beautiful in life..." That's so insightful...Yes, I am trying to select my view and my thoughts. Lyrical... selecting my eyes to look at what is beautiful, the snow is melting...I am enrolled in an on line class in lyric essay....Imagine, trying to get out from my shell. I hope that my words could help in same way. Keep me informed, you are not alone. I care.

    Hi Michael, I just heard the terrible news about Kurt Bryan's and daughter passing...Just a note to say how fragil life is. would like to reach to you and say please enjoy life, get another pup, another Emmy. This tragedy also reminds me of Anthony. He passed like that, suddenly, one moment he was laughing, the next moment he was gone. But those here on earth, we must smile, even with a broken heart. Happpy Sunday.

    Hi...
    Yes, I too look to capture beautiful.
    Occasionally I do...like you here.
    Thank you for caring. I lost my Mother Thursday at eleven o clock.
    Though we weren't um around each other much. It effected me more than I imagined. Loss is no stranger but loss without chance of recovery. Is new. Someday perhaps ill try to replace Emmy, though it's never worked before...smile...anyway,...thank you for thinking about me. Love-

    Oh dear, please accept my condolences for your mother's death. Wow, I wasn't close to my mother either. I was raided by my grandmother. In my heart, she was my mom.,,
    I don't come to FS everu dau, if you don't hear about me i am still here. I am planning to make a chapbook someday from my portfolio here. Traces of my heart are in there.
    Smile...

The golden city of bliss awaits God's children in the heavens above. God all sufficient feeds the souls of his children. Be fruitful and multiply. He has overcome sin. The battle is won! Astounding music!! Shalom.

Hello, Old friend. I have had issues with my old account and now created a new one. But a fanstorian has aided me today, I may have access to my old account real soon. I have not been on fanstory for quite a while but we use to dance together through Poetry. My former account (Galactia) I am not sure if you remember me.

But I certainly remember you and you writing is superb as always.

I loved your lines...

no truer supernatural love superimposes
our soul purpose
proves no greater Lover exists

as well as...

freedom spins bottles for the kisses experience
and knows no sweeter
taste tests tried patience and digests purgatory

Great job
Regards

Tia
(Galactia)

Hello Mr Michael! I love listening to this version of Metallica's song...very emotional and loved especially when the drums joined it. (I'm a drummer lover! LOL)
As always, your poem is a delight to read with incredible alliteration, metaphors, and imagery. You always make the reader stop to think...and I like taking pause to reflect on your words.
Hope you're well and smiling.
Smiles to you,
Karyn :-)

I've missed you around here--hope all's well--loved this poem full of great alliteration and beautiful imaginings. The last line was sheer genius! This piece has everything that a great poem needs-hey,"no truer supernatural love superimposes
our soul purpose
proves no greater Lover exists"-- I don't believe, but you make it believable!
Great work, and I love that particular Metallica song.

I paint also. Are you on fanartreview? I am thinking not since you are a professional artist.

"freedom spins bottles for the kisses experience
and knows no sweeter

But, I kind of like "kisses OF experience". Thank you for sharing

Welcome back again--I have fallen behind, but I am glad I didn't miss this post. Your poem is quite soulful, and I admired your alliteration of "f's," "s's," "t's" and "p's" for added intensity. You know I always enjoy your use of circularity. Take good care of yourself- Joan

Oh my brother, I an so happy to have had my final six for a reason...absolutely loved this. You came strong with words that endears, yet signify a significances far deeper than meets the eye. ...beautiful symetry.

"Forever and Your trust fortressed"

I think one little word taken away in both the first stanza and the last will close raised eyebrows and take this to another level with the strength of that sentence. I would remove the conjunction 'and' for there may be a little clash there noticable...and that sentence is one of your strengths of the write.

"Forever Your trust fortressed"
Much more potent Michael, without question.

Bravo. I expect to see this one do good things.

RG

There are rocks of faith that will not be shaken. There is a stalwart righteousness in the blessed light of Truth. If we follow Him, we are saved. Is there anything more precious?
