I drew my heart on you

Hah, how funny I must have been commenting how much I loved your latest while you were leaving this here!!! Thanks for your lovely acknowledgement, I feel honoured, loved what I just read of you, & love what you have just written, glad you had a little rest in the clouds here.

(Curtsey) It is a pleasure to bring you pleasure my friend, you are always so warm & generous with your responses. May your New York Spring be a budding loveliness! xx~ Anni ~~~ "A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world; everyone you meet is your mirror." ~Ken Keyes, Jr.

Oh darling Ann I almost missed this, & it is so beautiful... I love the way you comment on poems so poetically!!!!! You are such an artist yourself my dear woman, this is such a beautiful little write you have gifted me, thank you, I will cherish it... ...& what's more placed at the door (since I have quarenteened myself again) yesterday morning, a delightful gift from you!!! Thank you so much, I was overjoyed & to add to the pleasure to see your lovely real hand writing! I am so impressed. Have not had a chance to do your letters justice, but will do so next week. Thank you so much my lovely Ann, I am blessed to be so well considered by you. My love in big waterfall gushes to you ~ xxx Anni ~~~ "A loving person lives in a loving world.

Yes, it IS good to hear the perspective of others. Maybe this will help. This is a song of hope predominently if you read it as such it might make a difference? Wanting to sing the best into being so to speak, without really knowing... the collage etc. are part of the spells we weave in the hope that a wonderful true love will come to us... The sharded heart (I actually only just added that bit about shards when I posted here, but I like it) is about where it has been, but it ties back into the theme of hope in the end with the last two lines (I hope... if it doesn't with that perspective, please let me know) The thing is I am realising over & over again that song writing can be reallly different to poetry writing... you CAN sing colour & passion & tone into a song with your voice (& the musical treatment), but with poetry you must stand back & let the words portrey your intent, you can't stress the words or pause, or hold onto the note to give an indicator of tonal change or import of concept (EG I might have sung the first 2 lines of the last stanza with more intensity but an simultanious fragility, like pinning the audience with my eyes for a moment while those lines were sung, kind of softly, but with presence, then a freeing kind of frivolity to finish the stanza with flippant "happily ever after" "It'll work out in the end" kind of sense. Clearly not possible with words on a page, it is a learning curve for me). I'm sure you know this... I did, technically, as well, I just thought I might be able to inspire readers to pick it up purely from the written words... Maybe I need more work on this then? The timing is bad, I still have no voice or I might consider a spoken word treatment of this one in the light of your comment (& my response). Thanks so much for your comments I learn a lot from your feedback. Cheers~ Anni ~~~ "A loving person lives in a loving world.

Well thanks Emarie... of the sexiest voice in the world (& poems what's more), you would be a hard act to follow my friend. I haven't recorded this or even formed the melody properly. It happens in a rush with me, I write & write & write, & then occassionally if there is reason or inspiration I go through the lyrics & make one of the writes into a song... it's serendipity really. I might try a spoken word when I get my voice back, never done that... you started something! xx~ Anni ~~~ "A loving person lives in a loving world.

I am smiling widely at this lovely Chuck, I composed some 3 line poems of late & thought of you every time. I so love your wondrous siccinct wording, you were one of the first I read here that I loved instantly (your deer in the snow, it is still with me). Anyway, I must thank you. & I wanted to say to you... if we weren't so far away I would swear the girl in your "Girl at the rail" poem was me, it's the kind of thing I do, I know it sounds self involved but it's true, I sing everywhere though (except for the last month) xx~ Anni ~~~ "... sometimes I hear my voice - And it's been here ....
