Poetry
I sent my poem "Moonlit Deep" into a poetry contest and it won in both the USA and the UK and is being published in a book coming out this summer in the USA and also being published in another book coming out in the UK in the early fall. When I find out more info, I'll post it. I've also been invited to the International Poet's Society! Hey, I'm famous!!!
"My Thoughts"
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people
before meeting the right one
so that when we finally meet the right person,
we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
When the door of happiness closes,
another opens,
but often times we look so long at the closed door
that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend
is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with,
never say a word,
and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it,
but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

*~Why is life always so cruel~*~
*Is life going to always treat me like a fool�*
~Are you supposed to be sad all the time�~
*Is the world such a bad crime�*
~Why does life always hurt�~
*It feels as if my face is getting pushed in the dirt*
~Life is a big puzzle that is hard to figure out~
*Would this place be fun�that I doubt*
~Why does it seem to be comin' to this�~
*Its as if every word now a-days is just a diss*
~Why does is feel like I've been stabbed in the back...~
*Fears of life I still to lack*
~I do not want to live this life no more
*I just want to die, just drop down to the floor*
~Sometimes I wish I could have a knife~

"Forever Grateful"----For Rhea Lewis
When I needed someone the most
You stepped into my life
I found you in the shadows
Because you lit my way
For you are the light in my eyes
The smile on my face
And the dear friend in my heart
You made me realize that my life is good
And without you I would be lost
So I write this poem to you
To tell you that I will forever be a friend
That not matter what, you can count on me
Because that's what friends do
And I am forever grateful for a friend like you
~Janessa Prewitt~
"The Best of Intentions"
I had big plans for our future,
Said I'd give you the world somehow
I tried makin' good on that promise,
Thought I'd be so much further by now
Never could build you a castle,
Even though you're the queen of my heart
But I've had the best of intentions
Right from the start
I gave you a ring, and I promised you things
I always thought we'd do
But my best-laid plans slipped right through my hands
To show my love for you.
And if you could read my heart,
Then you'd know without exception
It was all with the best of intentions
So here I am asking forgiveness,
And praying that you'll understand
Don't think I take you for granted,
I know just how lucky I am
Though you deserve so much better,
You won't find devotion more true
Cause I've had the best of intentions
Of much holding and loving you

"Thank You"
Friendship is not something you find everyday
So when someone offers such a gift to you
Grasp onto it with both arms
And in return you will be rewarded much happiness
Friends are people you can turn to
When your heart feels a little low
Or when you are having a bad day
These are the people who will be there for you
No matter what
Their love is unconditional and true
And they will always put a smile on your face
So I write this now to say 'Thank you'
For lending an ear
For making me smile
For being there when I'm having a bad day
Thank you
For being a friend

"True Butterflies"
When you get butterflies
Is this when you know you're in love?
When everything you hear is music
And beauty is everywhere you look
Whenever you think about this person
You feel complete
For the first time your life makes sense
And this makes you shake
And gives you butterflies
So yes, when you get butterflies
True butterflies
You are in love
Love is the gift above all others
So once you've found the one who gives you true butterlies
Don't let go
Surrender your heart
And let love entangle your senses
Do not hold back
For if you do
The butterflies you cherish so much can fade
So love your true butterflies
And they will be with you forever
~Janessa Prewitt~"Lost Love"
Love is the greatest gift in the world
Greater than life itself
And is sent to you directly from God's hand
But when love is ripped from your arms
By the very God who blessed you with it
And you are left to stand alone in the world
You wonder what life is really worth
Everything you have ecer known changes
The Sun doesn't quite rise the same
And the breeze no longer smells of honey dew rain
It is said that life does go on
And that pain does heal with time
But the pain of lost love is forever binding
This is the greatest pain you will ever endure
To be alone is to be dead inside
I've tried to deny that I'm alone for so long now
But whenever I wake up in the night
And realize that the one I loved so much is no longer there
I fall once again deep into a hole
That I've been trying so desperatly hard to dig myself out of
What I ask now is for someone to listen to my cries
And reach out to hold me
And together we will rebuild our hearts
And banish our pain
Because together we will create another gift
The greatest gift in the world
Love
~Janessa Prewitt~"The Walls in Between"
I've cried myself to sleep so many times in my life
But I have cried most at the thought of losing you
I laugh at this now and call myself ignorant
Because I realized that although I cried at night
During the day, I took you for granted
I didn't know what I had
To me you were my puppet
And did everything I asked
Until one day you got tired of your strings
And left me broken
I asked you not to leave
And for the first time in our life together
You didn't do what I asked
That's when I realized that what I lost was not just my lover
I lost my heart
My savior
My best friend
And most importantly, the other half to my soul
My eyes are completely open now
And this time my tears are genuine
I now realize that I had a chance with an angel
And because I took it for granted, I lost what I love most
Nothing seems right
I breathe a little shallower
And my heart beats a little slower
My body and soul are slowly withering away without you
I know that my chances are slim
But I have seen a miracle before
It was a miracle the day that I met you
So now I pray once more for a miracle
I pray that one-day, even if it happens while you are sleeping
That your soul realizes that it needs me too
And together we can be as one
Before, there was a wall between us
A wall of distrust and argument
But I promise you that this time around
The walls will not be between us
But outside of us
Pushing us together
And sealing our souls
Together we will live in harmony
We will die holding one another
And we will float towards heaven
As one...

"Butterflies & Goosebumps"
Butteflies
But not good ones
& Goosebumps
But ones that scare me
Is it better to have loved and lost
That to have never loved at all?
No
Had I never fallen in love
I would have never felt
Butterflies
& Goosebumps
I may not have ever known love
But nothing is worth so much pain
Nothing
What's going to happen?
Will my heart heal?
I am so scared
So alone
Time is my friend
And will be the healer of my heart
Help
I may still be sad
May still be hurting
But time is not what I want to heal me
I want you
To ride me of my Butterflies
& Goosebumps
Forever
~Janessa Prewitt~
"Bee Happy"
I'm a little bumble bee
Buzzing near and apple tree
There are people all around
But it's you that I have found
I may just be a bumble bee
But I can see, it's plain to me
That you and I were meant to be
Together in this apple tree
As I take off and fly near
In your eyes I can see fear
I just want to ease your pain
But you must think that I'm insane
You swing your hands to knock me away
But can't you see I want to stay
I want to kiss you on the arm
You seem to think that you're in harm
Once I kiss you, you do scream
"Stupid little bee, you are so mean
Why did you sting me? What have I done?"
I tell you it was a kiss, but you still run
I'm in love, I wish you could see
Even though I'm just a little bumble bee
So I'll just wait here in this tree
Until the day that my love you see!
~Janessa Prewitt~
"You Are My Reason"
The Sun rises for a reason
It is different for everyone
And is why you wake up each morning
What is your reason?
Mine is simple
Mine is true
You are my sunrise every morning
I awake to hold you in my arms
You are my reason
And when the Sun sets at night I am sad
Unless you are there by my side
To hold me until it rises once again
~Janessa Prewitt~
"My Everything"
I love you more than starlight
I love you more than sand
With you my future looks bright
You are my guiding hand
You hold me when I weep a tear
You gaze into my eyes
Losing you now is what I fear
Because you are a prize
Please! I beg, don't leave me soon
You are my night, you are my moon
I need you in my every day
You are my light, you are my way
~Janessa Prewitt~
"Dream Worlds"
Dream Worlds are like the blue eyes of a white tiger
Unusually beautiful.
Palm trees unusually wave hello to nearby onlookers
Onlookers that walk along the beach hand in hand
With a fool that will never penetrate their carefree hearts.
Yet, somehow, the breath of desire whispers in their ears
Pictures of waterfalls and pure enchantment.
Seeing is Believing.
Seeing a yellow light darkens a room with silence.
Believing a yellow like fills the same room with splendor.
Splendor can be seen in the blue eyes of a white tiger.
Just imagine its eyes
Full of ocean blue
And return to the beach in your mind
As the sunset finally extinguishes your Dream World.
~Janessa Prewitt~
"Moonlit Deep"
Midst dancing waves the ocean breathes
The tides cause ebb and flow
Upon the shore the water leaves
The sparkling sands aglow
Pearlescent shells lay on the beach
'Neath midnight skies of blue
And ocean creatures out of reach
Await the morning dew
The swaying palm trees that do lye
O'er a deep and dark lagoon
Are silhouetted 'gainst the sky
And silvered by the moon
Reflection of the glittering stars
Upon the moonlit deep
Illumins water from afar
And lulles the earth to sleep
The fragrant breezes dust the earth
With mists from up above
While waiting for the morns re-birth
To settle like a dove
~Janessa Prewitt~
"Life"
Life comes and then it goes
Everything was fun one time
Sorrow fills your heart of woes
Though your life was once sublime
Streets are now cold and dark
Like the inside of your head
Fun is no longer within a park
And the only safe place is dead
Life is not worth
All the things you've done
From the moment of birth
Until you are gone
~Janessa Prewitt~
"Passion"
I have Passion...you have Passion
Everyone has a Passion for something
Something wonderful...something absolute
My Passion and my heart belong to a man
A man of motivation
My feelings for him are indescribable
My life is meaningless without him
He is the meaning for love in my life
A love that builds deep within my heart
And shows itself every now and then
When I see this man my heart swells
No one can understand how I feel
Words cannot describe the Passion I feel
Passion is such a wonderful gift
My Passion goes to this man who deserves every bit of it
Your Passion belongs also to someone or something
When your Passion is real, you feel it building within your soul
Passion for me is love
I will always love this man
And my heart goes out ot him
~Janessa Prewitt~
"Jesus"
God created us all
He has created one that is perfect
This man is God's perfect angel
His angelic face whispers peace and harmony
A sense of good nature and happiness fills his body
He is flawless...the perfect being
He has no blemishes of sin
He is an absolutly beautiful being
Perfect...so perfect
His name is the name of God's
Jesus...the name over all
It rises above as does he
He watches over us
He has a fire that burns deep within him
A fire that will never die
He will live on forever in our hearts and souls
His face glows with eternal strength
It is the face of a pure angel
He grows deeper in our hearts every day
He grows to be a leader
He is flawless...perfect
He is Jesus
~Janessa Prewitt~
"Feelings"
Every night and day I pray
For this man to love me so
His voice in my ears does play
If only he could know
I would give up my life for him
Gladly walk into a fire
I feel I'm walking on the brim
I feel I'm going higher
I love him with all my soul
I feel it deep inside
And in my heart there is a hole
Where my love for him does hide
I wish I could tell him this
I wish he could understand
That all I want is a kiss
From this gorgeous man
~Janessa Prewitt~
"Sadness"
I can't bear to see you this way
So sad it makes me cry
And to you all that I can say
Is that I love you and that's no lie
Life is almost always sad
It will get better though
Sometimes good and sometimes bad
But end up happy that I know
Never give up trying
I'll be there for you
Without you my heart is dying
So please don't be so blue
There's just one last thing I have to say
Cherish everything you do
'Cause life gets shorter every day
And remember that I will always love you
~Janessa Prewitt~"Dreaming"
My heart belongs to a man
More sweet than morning dew
At night sometimes I dream he can
Love and hold me too
I tremble when he does come near
He means the world to me
I know I have nothing to fear
And to my heart he holds the key
My life is filled with thoughts of him
If only he could know
All my dreams are filled with him
Saying he loves me so
