Thoughts, Dreams and Feelings

My Search for Serenity

Stage Masquerade

I can feel your eyes upon me I think you know this game

The next thing you'll want to hear is me screamin' out your name.

But, wait a minute baby.. What ya see is a masquerade

Are ya feeling crazy? Like I do, when I'm up on stage...Its a masquerade!!

Chorus: In the grip of lust

            Their is no respect, no trust

            So, just love me with your eyes, until you go blind

I can see you've got the picture, and have you found a frame?

Do you know me from somewhere, someplace? Do you know my name?

But, wait a minute baby...What ya see is a masquerade

Let it drive ya crazy like I do, when I'm up on stage...... ( repeat chorus)

Its a masquerade!

Mr. Johnny Enhancer

A story by Evette, to a guy I had met

I’ll call him, Mr. Johnny Enhancer…..

 

Sitting here in the early mourn

With a heart that’s broken and torn

Drinking away the sorrows, looking forward to better tomorrows

What else can I do?

It really sucks to be without you.

 

I heard it earlier on from the phone

That you were no longer alone

But in a week’s time, why couldn’t you “drop a dime”

and say,”Hey, someone’s in my life, full-time.”

(It would’ve been easier to bear, if you had dared!)

 

Now, I let you go, can’t love you, no!

No more trust, was it all just lust?

Why am I sitting here blue?

I thought what we were beginning, was true?

Now I see, I guess that’s just not “you”

 

So, good-bye ex-love, hope you had fun

Enhancing and romancing

Enjoying life under the sun

I’m not looking back; I’m on a whole new different track.

You blew your chance, for a new romance, sir

I say good-bye to you

Mr. Johnny Enhancer

A Lady named Barb (To Barb Crawford)

Here’s a short story about a lady named Barb

She’s sweet and nice and wouldn’t do anyone harm

She’s fun and bold with a heart of gold

The kind of person who’s there in the end

She’s a great friend

This lady named Barb.

 

I met her not long ago

I noticed her aura, and how it glowed

A real person and it showed

the kind of person, you’d like to know

She’ll be there in the end

She’s a true friend

This lady named Barb.

 

I told her once; I would write her a song

And well, this is how it’s coming along

I hope she’ll like it when it’s done

Writing it sure was a lot of fun.

 

So, here’s one to her, made with love and laughter

To make her smile, when she’s feeling blue, and for days after

Oh and to thank her for all she’s done for everyone, too!

I hope to know her until the end

She’s truly a special friend

This lady named Barb.

My Vision of Bill

One fine day, not long ago

I came to your house, we said hello.

Little did I know

How far into my empty heart, your arrow would go.

It scares me some I have to say

I've never been with someone and felt this way

You see, the others just ran away

Just couldn't understand my internal dismay.

Hell, they were just selfish fools anyways.

With you......it's like..........how I KNEW it could be.

But I'd always settle for less, pure stupidity!

You know I laugh at myself when I find

I'm counting down the hours, in my mind.

I pray to God to thank him every day

For blessing me with happiness

By sending you my way.

With each and every minute we're together,

I learn more from you,

and the little surprizes are even better!!!

I hope you don't take this all wrong,

It's just you are to me like words are to a song.

You must know how much repsect I have for you,

You treat me like a queen, and so I never feel blue.

I just love spoiling you and I have a feeling you enjoy it too.

I hope our communication line stays open and free

And most of all........Thank you for choosing me!!!

( This was the first poem I wrote to my ex-husband William Hagen, who abandoned me in the middle of the night, without a word, a note or so much as a goodbye....We were married for 2 years...... these poems are very hard to put here....but are part of my personal healing process!!!)

Come Follow Me Home ( Wedding Song to Bill)

(Chorus) C-G

Come follow me home

Through my heart, to my soul, to my soul

(repeat) (lastline) You've got my my soul

D-C

When we met not long ago

Didn't know how far we'd go and

As we watch the months that pass

together we're beyond first class

And we fly, baby so high

So come follow me home

(Chorus and repeat)

When I look into your eyes

I konw there's no disguise and

When you hold me close at night

I konw this feels so right

And we're free, can't you see

Come follow me home

(chorus and repeat)

Now I where your diamond ring and

Who knows what the future brings and

now I'm to be your bride

I'll say yes with love and pride

As we soar, alone no more

Cuz you've followed me home, you've got my heart heart, I give you myyyy soul

( repeat verse or two and chorus and end)

Together we're whole

( This was the song I wrote and then sang to Bill at our wedding reception, he wasn't even paying attention!)

The Beautiful "Reign"

Good-bye Grandma Josephine

May you rest, with all our best!

May it all be, just as the Bible has blessed.

Let go, no more pain

May HIS warmth surround you and release you

-- like that of the midsummer's monsoon rain.

Nomore fears, dry your eyes of those frightened tears.

Time to open your soul, with every part of your being

Time to enjoy, all you've only dreamt of actually seeing!

Your body had cried out,"Enough!" the journal just confirmed

What had been your very first clue!

The doctors didn't have to hide what they already knew; you had already saw through.

I bet Jesus exclaimed," Hey Josie, your one of those lucky few, who believed in me, unconditionally."

So here is the path, just follow HIS glow

It will warm you as it guides you to what you've known; but never had it shown.

Dearest sweet Lady Josephine,

I'm proud to feel your eternal peace inside me, in every part of my being!!

I can feel what your beginning!!

I told you good-bye and I saw it in your eyes.

You knew what I was telling you was the no bull, no lies....

In your left hand, you felt me feel life, our happiness to you was confirmed

-- in the form of a single white silk bridal flower.

To confort you, as it did in my finest, as it did in you final, hour.

And like that monsoon shower, you've gone to be the light that grows

With all that is love, in our hearts, in our souls

We all have peace knowing you've reached that sacred honor, of your eternal goal.

Hallelleja! i rejoice in your spirit! For you've shown me how not to fear it!

Thank you for letting me feel you in my veins!

I've been reborn, I've been cleansed, I've been enlightened!!

Noone would understand what I felt, if I'd try to explain.....

I've watched you go through and become what is, and what will be again and again...

The beautiful monsoon "reign."

(From my soul, so that I may share my cleansing, emotional closing...for my beautiful Grandma, who's name was Josie)

Written at Canal Park while fishing with Bill, as he handed me a white feather meaning peace as Hold my hand played on the radio)

To My Anjel

It is hard to believe 10 years have come and gone by so fast. The day I was spiritually blessed with child, at LAST! I remember looking into your eyes for the very first time, how proud I felt, that hot August night, as I held you tight. Nomore was I alone with no family in sight... how the future was going to be so bright! I remember promising you all that I never had, I remember apologizing to you for alienating your dad. I remember how hard I tried not to cry and to not ask why.. I still find myself, as I write this, drying my tears,as I sigh.. I've done my best to spare you from my past, how it's affected me and the shadows its cast. I hope someday to tell you the whole story. I hope you will understand, for so much, I'm truly sorry!! How your the most important part of me, even though sometimes it's hard to see. Know it's just, well,I'm having a hard time trying to adjust. I'm still searching for serenity, but i'm healing! I miss doing everything for you each and every single day, like checking in on you while your sleeping, and covering you up as you lay. I've missed important parts of your life, NO FAIR! When I think of this, it cuts me,deep like a knife. It hurts me that your not here all the time. To me, the most important thing is for you to have the best of life in the world. Not a life of poverty, neglect, stress, or crime!! I hope you know, your in my heart, in every way, I hope you realize how hard it was to make that decision that day.The only other thing I can say, is that I LOVE YOU, BABYEARS, and that will never fade away, and that every single day, I hope and pray that you will come home to me.....one of these days!! ( this was written to you a month before you turned 10 years old)          Written: 7-16-1999 7:45 A.M  Copyright ©1999 Eveie 

On Your Wedding Day

As you both walk down that aisle

Finally resting, after running all those single miles

As you both seal your love with a kiss before God

With every part of your souls, as honored family looks on

Wiping away their joyful tears, as they proudly smile

As two hearts join as one for all time

The purest love, the purest you both will ever find

Where ever you both may go

Each and every day you’ll beautifully grow!!

On this day you’ll both become

Husband and wife

From this day forward, for the rest of your lives

Always knowing how the other one feels

Knowing what is fake, knowing what is real

You’ll turn to face each other

Connecting your hearts and souls

To become completely whole

As you look deeply into each other’s eyes

Within that loving stare, you’ll become mesmerized

As you both emotionally exchange precious vows

Trying so hard not to cry, but you can, it’s alright

It is the most beautiful moment of your lives!!

Promise to be lovers and always be each other’s best friend

To love each other now and until eternity ends

Understand there’s no need to walk in front, to lead

No need to walk behind for direction, you see

For you both shall walk together, always side by side

Joined forever, the husband and his beautiful bride!!

Say a prayer each day and thank God for each other

Remember to ask God for strength in understanding

To go beyond just lovers

To take what life blesses you with

And to take it in stride

The key is honesty and communication, no bull, never lie

But you’ll both come to understand this, as time goes by

As you celebrate this day

As the beginning, of the rest of your lives.

This poem for you both is written with heart felt congratulations

on becoming… Husband and Wife!!!!

 

** To Kevin and Leslie Higgins **

God’s blessing upon you both is forever wished

As we send out warmest congratulations

On finally getting hitched!

We send you all the best of all wishes

For years of love, with plenty of kisses

And may God bless you both, as Mr. and Mrs.
