somebody's dungeon

There were so many times
I wanted to say the words
but remembering your reaction
I thought it just absurd,
to keep declaring love for you
you were never free
never could you leave your world
to come and be with me.

So the words stayed hidden
within my troubled heart.
I said them to myself
when we were far apart.
I said them to the moon.
to the sky that is so vast.
I said them to the sun,
and to the stars at last.

But never again did I say them
to you when I finally knew
that it was not your wish
that I be in love with you.

WhiteRose

The White Rose~
A simple expression
of classic beauty.

Dear White Rose,  this is lovely.  I have been thinking of you today. I started to leave a poem for you in Journey's but pulled up one of yours instead.  It was so right for today.  Love, Joyce

Hello Joyce. How very sweet that you were thinking of me today. It's nice to know someone is thinking of me. You've put a smile in my heart with your kind thoughts.

Dear Whbite Rose.  I know you think I've flipped, but your poem is lovely.  The only thing I thought I was writing to WhtDove.  She has had a terrible tragedy in her family and I can't get her off my mind.  Please put it down to my normal confused state.  I will be thinking of you and your Mom now though.  Love, Joyce

Oh, it's so sad when love is not returned, White Rose.
This is marvellously written --
gentle and straight-forward....
simply beautiful!

White Rose, this is a touching piece. Well written but sad. Experience, it is the best teacher yet not always the prettiest. Write on.

White Rose,just wanted to let you know, "been there...".Very well written, your meter is impeccable.

...and if your words come from Truth,I can only wish for you a healing.

Peace,Geoffrey
