You touch softly, any part of me I tremble. The motion is fluid like it was always meant to be, like river flowing into sea. Still, I know deep down, looking back at the design of all things that have happened in the past, on their own course over time and not considering me, all done for reasons unknown as of now... we weren't supposed to meet. You were never meant to lay hands or moan your breath on my skin. And I was never meant to have such pleasure, to know what it was to be in love. So even though I cheated and took what wasn't mine, I will also take the sadness and smile. |

"So even though I cheated and took what wasn't mine, I will take the sadness and smile." Hi Dixie gal! This sort of reminded me of that saying... 'Don't cry because it's over, Smile because it happened.' And in time we remember the good times... those precious memories, and we do smile, and life goes on. I understand this...more than you realize.  In the midst of winter, |

So even though I cheated and took what wasn't mine, I will also take the sadness and smile. cheating causes so so much despair and pain honey, keep fighting... I could feel the saddness.... love to you |

This is definately one of my favorite poems ever written. It's so relieving to know that someone else really feels the way I do right now. Especially "Still, I know deep down, looking back at the design of all things that have happened in the past, on their own course over time and not considering me, all done for reasons unknown as of now... we weren't supposed to meet." I love the wording and just what you're saying. Excellent, excellent write. April-Lyn |

Dear Dixie A fulfillment within can be created by a touch, even though knowing it is wrong or not meant. To be treated to the joy of living for small moments, being truly content, blossoms the mind to scent and glow of beauty. You have known passion and love, many here are still yet to meet, we envy, we listen and all know life did in its time bless you with something that will last in you forever. Thank you for sharing what you hold within, its seeds of vision grow and show each one of us which direction to take and then maybe one day we will recall that moan of breath, the passion that drives one near mad, to smile in remembrance. I enjoyed this my friend, thank you for sharing. Rick |

This is a place that many have known. I do not know the after smile but I know the failure. Good lessons. Wonderful poem! Thanks for sharing. ~Best Regards,Raven Smith |

"So even though I cheated and took what wasn't mine, I will also take the sadness and smile." Yes, Dixie, we all smile through the sadness which just goes to show what tremendous creatures we are. Great poem, Dixie, and how you have grown within is showing clearly in your poetry now. Keep it up! |
