J&M History Poem
There's a place known as Heaven,
where true love is made
Love that won't dwindle, diminish or
fade
It begins in the hearts of the truest
of friends
And with undying passion, the bond
never ends
John and Marlena know this is no lie
For no matter what happens, their love
doesn't die
Marlena was gone, or so John did fear
but their love was reborn on a dark,
foggy pier
Their passions collided; they couldn't
refrain
from consuming each other that night
on the plane
They tried to resist, after all, she
was wed
But dreams of each other kept them
restless in bed
In a conference room he found her,
how could she resist
When all she could think of was the
taste of his kiss
On the table, once more, their true
love was captured
Their souls and their spirits completely
enraptured
They did try to fight all that passion
and heat
But again found it difficult at Victor's
retreat
Marlena undressed and slipped into
the pond
Reminding her lover of their infinite
bond
They did fight temptation; All seemed
to be well
but their moments of passion produced
baby Belle
Then at Maison Blanche, John lingered
near death
At the hands of his enemy, a man known
as Stef
Marlena used all of her feminine charms
to make sure that Stefano wouldn't
cause John more harm
When the ordeal was over, her marriage
was, too
And Marlena just didn't know what she
should do
She still wanted John, the relationship
they'd built
but both of them drowned in a river
of guilt
At her weakest moment, with her heart
on the shelf
Marlena was seized by the devil himself
John rushed to her side to free her
from the beast
Afterall he could do it, he was a Catholic
priest
His love for her grew, but he still
stayed away
Was there hope for this couple, a reunion
someday?
Perhaps they would find it in Aremid
But fate kept them waiting 'cause of
what Tony did
John was framed for murder which is
hard to conceive
Well, not for Kristen...she fully believed
Marlena stood by him with no doubt
in her heart
John was scheduled to die though, and
she fell apart
She risked life and limb to find the
proof that he needed
While John lay there dying; a man near-defeated
Marlena came through for him and John
was now free
But Kristen was asking, "Do you still
want me?"
With a half-hearted "yes.", he answered
in kind
But Marlena was EVER-so-much on his
mind
A letter from John was all his Doc
needed
To think that he loved her when she'd
almost conceded
But Kristen would soon cause quite
an upheaval
As the once moral woman resorted to
evil
Her jealousy soared as she saw real
fast
That she wasn't John's future; but
a part of the past
Desperate, she'd plan, she'd plot and
she'd scheme
With Stefano, Viv and Ivan on her team
And so entered Susan, the baby machine
Who could look just like Kristen with
enough Maybelline
Hiding her teeth and her strong southern
drawl
She learned to "be Kristen", but that
wasn't all
She fell hard for John, already her
groom
And locked mean, mean Kris-tan in the
secret room
Convincing as ever, she fooled Viv
and Ivan
But her greatest achievement was seducing
poor John
The monitor showed this incredible
sight
to a seething Kristen, who watched
on in fright
Marlena just laughed, as she made this
decree
"He has sex with you, but he makes
love to me!"
Desperate to thwart her apparent downfall
Kristen began to chip away at the wall
To carve her way through, she strongly
endeavored
But her plans were disrupted when the
gas line was severed
As Marlena and Kristen were fighting
for life
John was renewing his vows with his
"wife."
But Laura would soon stop the Graceland
sham
By knocking Sue's teeth in the glass
of Madame
John raced to the room and opened the
door
finding K and Marlena passed out on
the floor
He rescued Marlena FIRST, there's just
no mistakin'
But the evil Kristen was the first
to awaken
She convinced John that Susan was the
one to be blamed
And Viv and Ivan were her sidekicks,
she claimed
With John so believing, Kristen's plan
was complete
Until Dr. Evans was back on her feet
One by one Kristen's lies were coming
undone
Marlena untangling the web K had spun
John learned that his baby was miscarried
in France
And with Susan, not Kristen he shared
some romance
Kristen begged for forgiveness, but
John was just sick
How could he have fallen for this blonde
lunatic?
Kristen grabbed a cop's gun, killing
Doc was her quest
But John wrestled it free, and she
was under arrest
With their nightmare over and Kristen
now jailed
The whole sordid story, Marlena unveiled
John said that he loved her, thinking
he was alone
But the cameras were running; his cover
was blown
With a smile and merely a gaze in her
eyes
It didn't take long before John could
surmise
His dream had come true; his love was
returned
Her love was unending, always had been,
he'd learned
Their moment had come as they drew
toward a kiss
But the doorbell would ring and create
a near-miss
Marlena and John tried to be so polite
When guest after guest interrupted
their night
"Get out!", we all yelled with all
of our power
"Jeez! It's almost the end of the hour!"
"They've just GOT to kiss! We've been
waiting so long!"
"Oh PLEASE let it happen before the
theme song!"
And before we could cry, or even be
blue
John said "There is something I've
just gotta do."
And with that, he leaned in as we all
felt a chill
Marlena and John had a dream to fulfill
Their mouths met so softly; so tender
and sweet
But there was no denying; their lives
were complete
And all over the country...the cries
of the mass
As the sight of them faded to the old
hourglass
A new day would come, though, a gift
from above
For so long we'd waited for them to
make love
John swept up Marlena and took her
upstairs
He fulfilled all her dreams and he
answered OUR prayers
John proposed marriage, and it's not
hard to guess
That every J&M fan hollered "YES!!
YES!!"
And so did Marlena; the two were engaged
But hearing this, Kristen was soon
quite enraged
She wants to tear John and Marlena
apart
Bringing Roman to Salem was a helluva
start
But we keep the faith 'cause we know
in the end
Marlena and John's love will always
transcend
They are of one spirit, one heart,
and one mind
They're romance and friendship; They're
soulmates defined
For years they were longing, and now
their love thrives
It will go on unbroken all the days
of their lives...
