As you lay your head down tonight
Thoughts flood your mind
Thought of things that have happened today
Things that have changed you inside
Word that have been said to you
Words of comfort and wisdom
That touch you deep inside
Words that will stay with you for a lifetime
But as you lay your head down tonight
I hope you think of what I have said to you today
Things that I have done that no one else has before
Things that have made your day a little better
Think of me
As you lay your head down tonight

A personality so bright and so captivating
Words escape me
Charming made an impact on all of us
To know there are people like her
With a smile that defies the sun
And a heart that beats loud enough
To give the Universe pause
Well
It gives me great hope
Just to know that she lives
And shares
This planet with me

Spring has Sprung
Birds singing outside my window
Sun is shining bright and far
People are wearing shorts and sandals
Saw my first birds this early day
Gardens need weeding
Yard work being done
Buds growing on out trees
Flowers beginning to bloom
Ah! What a beautiful today
Warm rays are keeping us cosy
People jogging; people walking
Many have begun spring cleaning
Out with the old; in with the new
Today is lovely scenery to go driving
Roofs down, music blaring
Off in the sun we shall go
Laughing; playing; and suntanning
What a beautiful day on our Island!

Posted: 3/17/2005 7:57:52 AM | Hello everyone, I am not sure if you will continue posting to this forum since our lovely charming has left the pond, but feel free to post if you like.
She has passed on her forum to me, I know I can never be her and don't want to, I am also unsure if I can keep this up and running, or if I can interest people to post, but I will give it shot...
I will start off by posting a poem, I am usually in the barn to post, so forgive me if you have read this before...
take care and please stop on in...
IN MY DREAMS
You come to me
Every night as I sleep
In my dreams
You are so real
I feel your presence
As if you were right beside me
Shivers running through my body
Making it hum with awareness and arousal
Your quirky smile and bright eyes
Take away the worries, fear, and pain
That invades my mind and heart
Freeing me for our destiny
I see you your so near
A heartbeat away
But as I close the gap
You disappear
For now until you enter
My life and heart
I am destined to see you
Only in my dreams….

Posted: 3/19/2005 5:47:54 AM | Thank you Rory, I know I have good friends to help me along the way...
Good Morning all....
Touch my heart with a gentle kiss
and place me on a pedestal
show me that I am the only one
who sends your heart into orbit
You look in my eyes
with your eyes so sexy and dark
and say with no words
that I am the only one
With a caress on the arm
and a gentle hug
no words are needed
for me to know your thoughts
I see our future
our lives together
sharing our hopes and dreams
our reality and fears
We need not share
these thoughts out loud
connected we are
in more ways then words
One soul to one soul
one mind to the other
connected forever
one heart to one heart.

Posted: 3/20/2005 2:08:42 PM | thanks Goat....I am really truly at home in the barn, but this is my second stomping ground....
an you see me?
Can you see me before you
Feel my hand caress your face
Do you hear me whisper in your ear
Am I even in the right place
We no longer keep company
Not acting like lovers do
Loving words are never said
Words like I love you
I sit alone in the same room
Not knowing what to say
How can we be so distant
What brought us this way
Why do you not look at me
Anymore with adoring eyes
Is this the end of us
Is this the final goodbye
Trying so hard to fix this
To get this life back to right
Where you and I hold each other
Long into the night
Your still so distant
No matter what I do or say
Fearing I will always be alone
I must give up and walk away
Move on with my life
And find a new love for me
One who will always stand and fight
For our love that is meant to be……

Posted: 3/24/2005 3:34:39 PM | well It seems that this place isn't of interest, I will post one more,but for those of you who were here for charming I am sure she appreciated it...I thank you also for being supportive of her, and I bless her for thinking of me to keep this forum going...but alas it seems she is what was needed here....
So take care all....
Stay...
Hush don't say the word
I'll pretend it wasn't said
my heart will break and
shatter into a thousand pieces
Your clothes are packed
the car all loaded up
I see in your face
the final goodbye
I won't say I'm sorry
or beg for you to stay
this is what you want and need
so go now please
Don't look back
and see me crying
leave me here
with my lonesome pride
I watch you drive away
tail lights fading dim
I finally voice the words out loud
to late, but begging you to stay....
Take care everyone...

Posted: 3/24/2005 8:01:03 PM | It’s not easy to keep someone else’s thread
Alive and well
It’s not easy to come up with a poem a day
And make it sell
God knows if I had a little more energy and talent
I’d ring that bell
And keep Charming’s memory fresh and vibrant
But I kinda fell | |

Posted: 3/24/2005 8:13:36 PM | Charming's a lovely gal and I do miss her sunshine here. People come and people go through here all the time. Some reach me and remain in my memory.
A unique person, to say the least. I do hope she returns one day. | |

Posted: 3/25/2005 5:27:33 AM | I was the one that failed, she turned her forum over to me, and I just couldnt keep it up and running...
I could never replace her, and I think we should just let it go, there has been no activity here since she left basically, I belong at the barn, ...
So everyone thank you again for trying to keep her words alive, they will be in our hearts,just as she is as she pursues her new life and happiness...

Posted: 3/25/2005 8:16:30 AM | Well, there was a time
When it was only me
In that barn
The roof leaked
And it smelled terrible
It was such a long time
Before people stopped by
First to read, then to post
Consistent, even poetic pressure
Was the key
(If you want to let the thread go, just let it go. You didn't fail and I really doubt if Charming would think you did either. There's always room at the barn for ye, but watch out for the mice. Spring is here) | |

Posted: 7/1/2005 10:35:42 PM | Charming and sweet
That was me at one time
I thank the great Spirit
For giving me this gift
This gift of writing
And inspirational thoughts
Each passing day
Leaves me in awe
The smiles I see every where
Helping another see
How special and vibrant they are
Their gentle words and thoughts
Are what keep me going
I thank Miz and the Goat
And now I am back
Under a different name
I will continue to write
My thoughts in here
I will come and go out of here
Remember you are all loved
And deserve the best of the best!
Smiles Everyone!       | |

Posted: 3/8/2006 11:44:27 AM | I am back to explore
And busy bee I am
I now have a wee one
A cute little girl she is
My writing is now inspired
By my little princess
How adorable she is
So sweet, happy, and content
Charming and Sweet
That was me then
Today I am a brand new mom
Three months to be exact
I once hung out in here
And met many people
Memories I will cherish
Friends I will hang onto forever!
My words everyone is to look for all that person is. Don't judge their character, how they live, or how they used to be. When fishing everyone look for both the inside and out. Inside is what really counts outside only makes up a little bit. I had the opportunity of meeting many people from the pond and have stopped searching for now for my hands are busy with my little girl. Many I lost contact with and that is okay because I have great memories and pictures from my travels. I had a chance to travel to different places and not one regret at all because all I went to meet were wonderful people. I only had one who did not work out and that is okay because this person was picky and had high expectations. That is why I say look for both the inside and out because she/he may be the one and it takes more than just a few visits to see who that person really is.
That is my quote for today and you all have a great day.
Charming and Sweet now a new name!

Posted: 3/11/2006 4:52:49 PM | Snow Fall
Yesterday we woke up to snow
Such beauty covers our ground
Trees all dressed up in white
Snow flakes big and light
We do not see this much
From where I reside
Snow is clear and crystalized
Roads are covered in white
Snow plows hard at work
To clear our roads and highways
Today little snow is left behind
Our children enjoyed the snow
And now sunshine fills our town
When is our next snow fall
We will never know
'Cause we see this rarely | |

Posted: 3/30/2006 1:20:59 AM | My Heart Weeps
Today my heart weeps
For a love that once was
I waited long and today I weep
I weep because my heart hurts
My memories fresh in my mind
Of our great times together
The laughter, the conversations
Went on for hours with no silence
Today I weep in puddles
At last he came to me
And certain life expectants
Has scared him away again
He was all I wanted and that day
My heart pittered and pattered
At last I said we come as one
That I have longed for
And I share with him a certain plan
And suddenly he is gone again
Four years we have known one another
Today I weep 'cause the man I love
Has walked the other way
He has given me a precious gift
The gift of a beautiful little girl
Whose happiness shines always
With a smile as her mom's
Lightens up the room each time
This little girl is my pride and joy
My love for her very strong
For this is what is left of us
Our beautiful and loving daughter
I will continue to love him forever
Each day when I hold or love her
I will do my utmost to carry on
Every so often my heart feels heavy
Tears rolling down my cheeks
As I recall our times they once were
And miss him deeply I can only pray
That he will come my way
Why is love this way?
Each time he walks away
Is when things become too close
I will continue waiting
Until my heart stops weeping
No idea as how long this is
Each day brings annew
Each time I look at our daughter
I see him looking back at me
Pieces of him or I
Will forever remain within our daughter
A love I will always remember
Both the good and the not so good
I will cherish forever weeping when need to
I look up at the starry night
And my eyes weep as I recall those days
And a smile shines over me
Because that was the greatest love of all
Will these days return? Or do we part?
My love will always be! | |

Posted: 4/1/2006 9:18:40 AM | Just a thought while walking home...this thread is not just about poetry, it is more about life in general and in here I will write or leave sayings that will either be healing or what I am going through. If I write about my friends happenings than I will refer to friend because of confidential nature. I rarely use another's experience and write in here of my own.
Remember to always hold your head high, walk tall, and let the world know how special you really are both inside and out!
I Am My Own Self
Nobody can be me
Or act like me
Unless they have walked
A mile in my moccasins!
People will try to imitate me
But this cannot be
Unless they are in my skin
Just be yourself!
Nobody is as unique
Or special as myself
They are themselves
And this I will not copy!
Be you always
And not let others control
Because you are you!
And that nobody else can be!
I am my own self
Full of love and inspiration
Have walked many paths
At the end I am me!
I learn through error or inspiration
Each step taken are my own
And up I travel to the best
Remembering I am me! | |

Posted: 4/8/2006 12:51:19 AM | Today I came across many moments of laughter and joy. My little girl learns something new each day and this is a surprise for me. I wake up wondering what wonderful thing is going to happen today? As I watch her grow and continue trying new things my heart melts. Her smile sweet and pure, her own individuality!
Spending time with friends also lit up my day today! My goddaughter came to visit for the weekend and I am very proud of her. Soon to be 15, she has inspired me with her own identity!
Looking back on my life always makes me smiley and proud to be who I am today! Yes through trial and error I have grown into a loving and forgiving human being! My heart never stops loving another for each person is unique and beautiful in their own ways!
No writing of poems today or should I say free lance writing! Just words of inspiration and joy!
Laughter and joy happens every day to all of us, our busy schedules or hectic lives we may not notice just how much of this is in our daily lives as well the loving! How precious a child is remembering I was there once myself until I travelled many bumpy roads that left me feeling the opposite. And now through healing I can once again notice wonderful positive things! Through my daughter reminds me of the person I am today! Her prestige is how I raise her and I plan to give her a wonderful life filled with love, joy, happiness, etc! | |

Posted: 4/10/2006 3:46:43 PM | Letting go of the pain and moving on
I am feeling blue from what transpired between us. Every day since we last conversed my mind remembering our times together. The times we had and the laughter. I miss you today and will for a while but doing my best to move on. When I take care of my daughter I will at times weep because my heart is hurting. I pray that all is good for you and that you are happy with the decision you came up with. I cannot help but wonder if you were just looking for an excuse to run. I wish you could have conversed with me rather than just assuming I gave you an ulternanium because my dear I did not do that. I just told you what was going to happen later on since things in life changed while we were separated through my pregnancy and birth of my daughter. I found out through all this that I wanted a stable relationship and want only the best for my child. I couldn't have you continually coming in and out of my life especially now with a baby coming. I wanted a stable life for our child and for our child to see you coming and going did not fit with me. You my dear were not there for the pregnacy or birth or now that she is born. Others were all the way!
Every day I am reminded of the love I feel for you and yet at the same time, feeling angry because you went back to your ex after I expressed my needs. I know you tried to contact me but I was hiding because you have hurt me over and over again. I could not see myself close to you because all I could think about was you are going to hurt again. I tried my best to move on and be and at the same time missing you. I thought back on all the writings I did around our relationship and the hurt I went through as you travelled back and forth between your ex and I. Once you heard your ex was seen with another and I had no idea you never knew, you phoned me to say you will contact me later no longer soon. Once I heard the word later I knew it was over between you and I. You were seen shortly afterwards with your ex all over you in the parking lot of your coffee place. Did you go after her? I am sure you did because you still were not over her.
What hurts the most is that you could not be honest with me and tell me the truth. You had to use what I had said about my goddaughter moving in with me at the age of 16 which will be soon. Something you do not agree with and that I understand but why did you do as you did after telling me that you wanted us to come together. Sure I had my doubts only because of all I have been through with you all ready. And still I doubt it because as others have said, "He only wanted you for one thing!" now I ask myself if that were true and my dear it does lead to just that.
We talked many times about our relationship and every time I took you back only to be hurt all over again. It is taking a while to let you go and now my dear I have erased you from my phone. That is progress and keep telling myself to not allow you to convince me in taking you back. I am through being hurt and it is time to move on. When you become well again please contact me to at least maintain the relationship of father to daughter? If you do not want this let me know so I can move us both on with our lives. It is sad you do not want to let your ex/girlfriend know you have a daughter because you do not want her to find out you were messing around behind her back. Or as you said when things were not working between you but dear, I know you were seeing us both all the way through.
Letting go of the pain and moving on is easy to do at least I thought but when it comes to children this is a different perspective and harder to do. I am hurting and will heal and really do not want to commit to another for now until I feel better about myself. My heart hurts, my eyes weep, and every day I move forth a bit and at times may step back for a while. I will release those tears and keep letting him go. Others want a commitment from me and that I am not ready for at this time or moment of my life. Dating others is hard to do when I have not let go of the other. I am not there 100% for that person and to me that would be unfair. Please let me be for a while and maybe one day I can say yes but now I have a child to be concerned about making sure from here on that I do make healthier descisions for her and myself. She is my world and will not allow anyone to hurt her or I again.
Letting go and moving on will transpire eventually through counselling, support groups, and healthy living reaching out for resources. My life will become annew and know after working through my aches and pains I will once again love another. It takes time and patience and I know many do not have time they want a commitment now and that my dears I cannot give to you at this moment. If you must carry on and hopefully someone will come along for you soon. I do not have any high expectations just being me for now. Remember to reach out to your friends, family, and support network and allow yourself to grief healthy. For me to suddenly move in with another would only be a rebound because I am feeling I may not make it on my own being a single mom and all.
Best of luck to you all and may we all find that someone special we can share our life with. This is a great place to be in the pond because I have met many nice people and went out on a few dates which all turned out to be a great time one way or another. I have made friends with people I will hang on to forever and I am grateful for the dates I have been on because it helped open my world more for me. Right now I am not fishing until I get a better handle on my life or maybe I do not need to look any further. I will see as time moves on and pray things will become better for me.
Moving On
Each day annew
New things come my way
Hurt subsides pain goes away
Smiles slowly coming back to me
Joy surrounds me with baby sounds
And life goes on until I am ready
Loving you the best I can
Is the only way to go for now
Sorry love if you must want more
I cannot give that to you
Time will heal my broken heart
Grieving continues to travel
And than one day I will laugh again
Moving on letting go
Each step taken
Will soon lead me to the top
And will see the light at the end
Noticing the beauty of those dark colors
Now filled with love and joy and light!
