For Katherine Jenkins

My soul was ruptured by crystal soprano
As I walk from door to door
Try to outpace my welling tears

Noble silver - perfect jewel
Reduce a man to burning fuel
Untill I spellbound  dont exist

Your voice a bell , my disbelief
That could summon men to wander off
To dwell in wanton pergatory

and kneel in wonder of a eucharist
A radiant flame of holiness - an arum lily
The palor of  thy countenance

Taste of Russian Ural honey
Lift me to the stratosphere
Never was heard a sweeter sound

I was born for hearing this
Surpassing every ounce of elegance
Surrender meekly to thy song of godliness

I fell in love all over again. She is more beautiful than Aubrey Hepburn .

Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 12/9/2017 10:07:00 PM A beautiful tribute poem, Jannie. Such is the powerful effect that the angelic voice of the God-gifted has upon the patient ears of the faithful. Akin to David's harp soothing melodious chords. Personally, I am very ignorant of Classical opera ... but the little I do know, I appreciate it's beauty as much as you do. Very inspirational poem, my dear friend. Love and smiles always. Login to Reply Jannie Breedt Date: 12/20/2017 2:01:00 PM Oh Freddie you MUST hear this. She simply shatters my insides ( right now she is playing in my head) You so very very welcome here. Thank you and God bless the socks off you.

Patricia Cresswell Date: 12/7/2017 9:52:00 AM You have described the human reaction to music they love very aptly. I have the same feelings with Pavroti. His power to encircle the listener with music is great. I am a sucker for a good tenor. Login to Reply Jannie Breedt Date: 12/20/2017 2:03:00 PM A very apt word there "sucker". Thats me allright! Pavarotti yes man. But she finishes me .

Agnes Krampe Date: 12/2/2017 11:14:00 AM Beautiful description of a voice, Jannie. Love it. Login to Reply Jannie Breedt Date: 12/20/2017 2:07:00 PM Hi sweet Agnes. You also have a gifted voice. I remember your hymn-like poem with piano. Thank you

CayCay Jennings Date: 12/2/2017 8:45:00 AM I don't know who she is and if I write her name down, I won't remember on which paper! Jannie - you rock, not that she sings rock, but that you tried what I often have, to capture the way a song can capture you. I felt every well written line as written by your own goose flesh! A delight and 'relation' (my meaning: a subject point on which two people relate to each other, i.e., what music can do!) Hugs ...
