Acrostic/Brushed Against My Soul
Before I met you I was a mere shadow of myself
Running from the nightmare of my past
Utterly bereft of all feelings
So lost and almost falling apart .....
How I would wish for a miracle
Each night before closing my eyes
Dreaming and longing for someone special in my life
After I met you something magic happened
Gaining back my spirit lost to me
All those hours we spent talking and laughing
Is the balm that I needed don't you see .....
Now I want to thank you one more time
Something I can't tell you enough
That you're the miracle who set me free
My life was changed forever when
You brushed against my soul .....
So strong is this feeling of oneness
Our lives are entwined forever more
Until we find each other again remember
Love I still believe ..... will conquer all

| Janine - beautiful work. This one is special. Dan | |||

| Janine, This poem is so beautiful. It seems that love in all it's grandeur can not be compared with, for nothing else we humans share can come close to it's beauty. The idea with the first letters is neat. (Take a look at the same in "Poet's Last Poem" sometime) - I've long felt like you're a literary counterpart - it seems your writings always fill the voids that I miss in my own. Maybe that's because we've shared our works in a common area for several years now - do you realize it's been near five years? Anyway, I think this poem is one of the most lovely that you've written - someone should be proud of that!! Dan | |||

| Janine, this is just wonderful, I had chills running up and down my arms just reading this, I thought I was reading about my life and you have summed it up to a tee. It is just beautiful and so subtle, but so much power in reading it. And yes I caught the first letter of each line, I thought that was awesome. Once again reading Brushed Against My Soul was truly inspiring. | |||

I love the one line you started out with, QUOTE Before I met you I was a mere shadow of myself It just stuck out because I can relate to that one line! The closing, QUOTE So strong is this feeling of oneness Our lives are entwined forever more Until we find each other again remember Love I still believe ..... will conquer all It still shows hope....good write here Janine very good! Shannon | |||
| Jeff | 7/29/2005 7:58:14 AM | ||
| God! Janine! this is deep. I love this one line here, QUOTE My life was changed forever when You brushed against my soul ..... The title alone catches the reader right away and pulls you in. Good writing here! | |||

| Nicely constructed acrostic. Even nicer message. I remember all too well the search; the time when I was close to despair and the tremendous joy that came into my life when I found my love. I enjoyed this. A lot. Joelsz | |||
