Fan Dedication

_________________________

I wanted to dedicate this section to my fans, my friends, my family and everyone who has ever been there to support me in my works, in my love, in my talents, and in everything about my life. Thank you guys so much for being there for me! A few names to mention in this special dedication:

Miss Kelseyanna Sisko (Silveren Drakensire) - She is a very dear friend and an amazing sister to me. She may not get entirely along with some of the others I have listed below...but thats because we have the typical american dysfunctional family...GET OVER IT! I love her and always send her positive blessings...to Kels,

Mrs Caroline May (Lamia Luna Avaritia) - My dearest sister and friend. I will always cherish the bond we have for it is strong and unbreakable. To you sis,

Miss Elizabeth (Dani) Conant (White Tail) - A friend, and a sister (sometimes very annoying ) LOL, but it is her annoyance that has kept me strong and ongoing. I send her many blessings and love. To you dani,

Mrs. Manesa Naverette - (Sophie 1) - Another dear sister and friend of mine. She has kept me sane and kept me (for the most part) along the trodden path. She's let me stray and venture on my own, but if I ever got too far astray, she's always pulled me back. Bless her always, to Manesa,

Mrs. Denise Winter (Denerica)- She has been a most wonderous fan, and an inspiration to more than just me I am sure. A very spirited woman and so full of light and love! Bless her in all that she does and please be sure to take a look at her amazing work! This is to you Denise, thanks for everything!

Mr. Joshua L. Rader (Cyanide Dreams)- Joshua...Joshua Joshua Joshua...you have been an AMAZING friend and extremely supportive. You are also part of the Three Fold Bond, a Bond of love, light and friendship that will endure always. You are always so ambitious and positive thinking and you always bring new light to the conversation. You are my apprentice, my student, yet you have taught me so much and I thank you.

Miss Emmy (Lady Australis)- Emmy has been a very dear friend to me and a spiritual sister as well. She always has something polite and uplifting to say. To Emmy,

Miss Ann (Ann D)- Ann, our dearest site manager. She does her job so well and without any partiality, yet she is always there to comfort and protect you as though you are her very own. Ann, this is to you

Mrs Myra Lochner (Myrataal)- Myra has been a divine friend and a very inspirational person. She is VERY spiritual and her works send chills down my entire being. Bless her always and I send much loving energy her way... To Myra,

Miss Dee Garner (Catz)- Dee, such a spirited person and always full of that light that we all seek. You have a very uplifting and kindered spirit and you have been amazing in my 5ish years here on allpoetry. This goes to you, Miss Dee Garner

Miss Kiesha Dawson (TheToeSockMystery)- Everything aside, Keisha has been an AMAZING friend, and is also a part of the Three Fold Bond, a bond of love, light, and friendship that will keep us strong forever. Thank you so much for being there for me and being so supportive Keisha!

Britt (Lianonsidhe)- An amazing poet, and an even better teacher. This goes out to Britt, who has been an amazing teachers assistant and a good friend. A good listener and always has something witty to say to lighten the mood. To you Britt,

I would also like to thank any AP fans on here for all of your support and comments. Even the occasional criticism is appreciated because it helps me to grow. That is a grave problem in the world today, people are insulted by criticism as opposed to seeing it as an opprotunity to grow. If we all just shared our knowledge and accepted the light that we are trying to pass to one another, how glorious a place this would be! To all of you, I give you my Love.

As always: LOVE, LIGHT, AND ETERNAL BLESSINGS TO ALL OF YOU! BLESSED BE!

Poetry does not require a great writer, a great poem writes itself. 
~Raymond J. Cloud~July, 2007~~


Everything you see isn't always necesarily One-Hundred percent of that which exists. Seeing isn't believing, and therein lies the essence of faith.
~Raymond J. Cloud~ August 2008~~

I am powerful, strong, full of love, outgoing, optimistic, a giver of advice, a teacher, a student, a Guardian angel...the list goes on...but most importantly, I am me...

My physical body is only 19 years old...but my soul is as old as time itself. My soul is Timeless and full of wisdom beyond my years...
