Tide pools of affection, swirling gently around you. You never understood how much I adore summer's solstice for sunsets. I touched your face the other day, laughed and called it a joke. But I was tracing your lips with my heart. This bold girl... This honest girl... Your words won't stay true to your actions. My feelings betray my convictions. Promises of silence, give way to casual conversation. I recognize the mystery, but can't respect the simplicity. Forgive me for walking away. I'm not strong enough to endure the anticipation. When the circle ends, I might just wait for you. I've been waiting longer than you know. Looking over my shoulder... Searching for silhouettes of you. Restlessly... Listlessly... chasing you. I forgot how to see the beauty of it, after you wouldn't kiss me. Sorry love, but my pride can only take so much. It took a lot to learn to hold my head up, and all the weight you're putting on my heart is pulling me down. Empty weighs heavier than full, you never knew? ...but just one look in your eyes, I blush and smile. My feelings betray my convictions! I can't help but stay true to my heart... ****Question: Why are guys so confusing? Do you try to be difficult for fun or is it in your genetic make- up or something?!**** .*.*.*.Krissie.*.*.*. P.S. I've missed you Passion's Peoples!!! This is my first post in awhile. Way too long! I'm sorry for telling u love was unnecessary... making you lose ur way I'm sure I'll be as sad as u feel ~Touch and Go |

There are so many parts in this that really appeal to me...wouldn't be able to pick all of them out...but here is one though: Forgive me for walking away. I'm not strong enough to endure the anticipation. When the circle ends, I might just wait for you. I've been waiting longer than you know. Looking over my shoulder... Searching for silhouettes of you. Well said, well said. I can relate also. All in all - an excellent read.  K"He looked across the silky surface of the Severn... it was a famously difficult river with fierce tides..." From Jack Maggs |

'Empty weighs heavier than full, you never knew?' Excellent lines! I must agree with you. Guys can be so difficult!  Great write! I enjoyed it! sp Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'it might have been.' -John Greenleaf Whittier |

Your words won't stay true to your actions. My feelings betray my convictions. Promises of silence, give way to casual conversation. I recognize the mystery, but can't respect the simplicity. Forgive me for walking away. I'm not strong enough to endure the anticipation. When the circle ends, I might just wait for you. I've been waiting longer than you know. Looking over my shoulder... Searching for silhouettes of you. ==================== Ana...I came by to personally thank you for that amazing reply you left on my poem... and I do so thank you... but I gotta tell you...you do JUST FINE.. on expressing your emotions my friend.. this is AWESOME..I FELT every line... you have expressed your frustration, confusion and draw to this person with defintion.. and I relate to so much of this its scary .. I often "let go" of my convictions when love whipsers to my heart...I am still trying to decide if its a weakness out of need on my part.. or just the way love is... Im so glad to see a post here from you.. and this one goes in my library file... very cool poem ... VERY take care poet jm |

AnaKay~ So good to see you ! Yep ... they are fickle characters, aren't they ? I think it may be the Men Are From Mars theory that they take much too literally ! Great write and again, good to have you here. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Of all the wonderful imagery and spin of conscious, these lines were the two that caught me: This bold girl... This honest girl... Stuck me right there ~points to chest~. Fabulous read. Thank you, Krissie. ~ Beth P.S. Just be glad you don't date women! Think how insane WE are!  I hate quotations. Tell me what you know. |

quote: Krissie, first of all, welcome back. . . been a while since we've seen you. . . this is an excellent poem, full of honesty and passion. . . well done. . . Now then. . . as to your comment that I have quoted above. . . I have only one thing to say. . . Why are women so confusing? Do you try to be difficult for fun or is it in your genetic make-up or something?! And Marge, we're fickle???  ------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Severn~ Thanks, it's nice to hear you can't pick a favorite, better than actually being able to decide! snowpants~ They are so difficult. *rolls eyes* Thanks. Janet Marie~ With a poem like yours it's hard not to leave a reply like that! (I really do have it taped to my wall!!!) And thanks for your amazing reply. Marge Tindal~ Thanks, I always love your poetry and replys as well. Elizabeth Cor~ Thanks, and I totally agree. If I did date women (especially one like myself) I would have lost my mind already! Thanks for all the great replys. Reading them always brings me to a greater appreciation of my own poetry. And it's such a great way to end the day! Love to all, Krissie I'm sorry for telling u love was unnecessary... making you lose ur way I'm sure I'll be as sad as u feel ~Touch and Go |

Thanks for the kind words. Krissie I'm sorry for telling u love was unnecessary... making you lose ur way I'm sure I'll be as sad as u feel ~Touch and Go |

I am left wondering why I haven't been around this forum in a while. I've read the best poetry in this forum so far. Your expressions of your emotions is astounding. "Empty weighs heavier than full, you never knew?" This really caught my attention. Very true I see no changes, wake up in the morning I ask myself, "Is life worth living or should I blast myself" TUPAC SHAKUR |

Love the way you so clearly paint that which is not always clear. I can only say that sometimes our confusion leads to yours. We are not always sure of what it is we want or can have for that matter. There lies a blur between the visions sometimes that lets the moment pass unrelinquished without that being the intention. Hope you get that which you want. Don't give up. Rich |

spiked~ First off, thanks for the kind words. Now, thanks for being honest. For some reason your reply just really struck me. I remember why I love being a poet- I'm a hopeless (key word there : romantic, and I love to be talked to that way. Much love, Krissie I'm sorry for telling u love was unnecessary... making you lose ur way I'm sure I'll be as sad as u feel ~Touch and Go |
