SOME OF MY POEMS I HAVE PUBLISHED ON OTHER WEB PAGES UNDER DIFFERENT NAMES SOME OF THEM ARE NEW
SOME ARE DARK, SOME ARE HAPPY SOME ARE METAPHORIC
ALL ARE MY HEART LEAKING I HOPE YOU ARE TOUCHED

IF
If you need a friend I will be it. If you have a problem I will solve it. If you have a bad dream
I will soothe it. If you find the dark again I will share it.

WE
How did this happen? How did we find each other?
How did we each find a friend That shares the soul of the other?
Because we two are one. We have always been together.
Because our souls will never be done Needing to be with the other.
Even though we may never meet. Our spirits will never part. And we shall never be incomplete, With the other in our heart.
~by Janet Boyd aka Bee Spit~
CANDLELIGHT
We have cultivated our friendship over time
We have laughed, cried and confided You gave me your heart and I gave you mine Never to become divided.
The candlelight flickers in each others eyes We talk of our hopes and our dreams Between us there are no pretense or lies We can finally be honest, it seems.
We talk, we walk, we discover each other Caressing, kissing and building the fires Exploring every possible wonder
Each fulfilling the others desires.
The candlelight has faded away And reality begins with the dawn But the memories will always stay And our love will truly live on.

This poem was selected for publishing (if I got the official permission slip in on time) I will let you know.
THE DARK
The dark is not the period after sunset Or just the absence of light. It is a heart and soul eating blanket That wraps around you, oh so tight.
The dark comes to you without invitation And it wraps around your soul. Keeping joy from getting out or in
And letting your heart be whole.
The more you struggle to get free, The dark compresses you harder still. Your heart and soul become empty And it deprives you of your will.
The only way to be free of this black hole, Is to give yourself to a friend. Let them remove the dark from heart and soul And allow peace and joy to visit again.

I
I hurt I weep I cannot sleep
I want I need I so easily bleed
I search I plead I have such need
You of course, do not heed.

HEART SEARCH
My heart went out into the net To find what it knew, not yet. To my surprise, my heart did find Another heart and soul like mine.
This can't be real, my mind told me To feel this way, so anonymously. Not to be able to touch or hear, Only to feel that he is near.
He touches me deep within my soul, And now my heart is whole. Although, amazing as it seems, My heart has found the one of it's dreams.

DESPAIR AND JOY
Despair is an old friend That drops by now and then Stays for a drink And leaving makes me think About why despair is an old friend.
Joy is also an old friend That is welcome by more often Stays for a while Even leaving makes me smile About why joy is an old friend.
Perhaps I should introduce these old friends That combining of their peace and sins Staying ever so long Never leaving makes me strong About having this new friend.

POETRY AND MISERY
I now know why there is poetry To give an outlet to misery Oh, you may read of love, but it is the same thing Because pain is the only thing it does bring.
To put your joy/pain to rhyme And tear from your heart the very next line I now know why there is poetry To let you feel my misery.
~by Janet Boyd aka Bee Spit~
LOST AND FOUNDERING
I search my soul for an answer What do I want, why do I seek Is my heart missing something there Or has my mind just gotten weak.
It seemed I was happy, or so I thought But what I want, I can not say I only know that there is something sought That leaves an emptiness along the way.
My heart and soul seem to search in vain For an answer that needs acquiring What will stop this wanting and needing pain And keep them from being lost and foundering?
~by Janet Boyd aka Bee Spit~
INCOMPLETE WITHOUT YOU
I never knew I was incomplete Until you, I did meet. And there in the computer scroll My heart was made whole.
Two hearts have joined and may never touch But wanting to, ever so much. This heart will beat, but only one And waits to hear the others beat come.
