Feelings Burned and Lessons Learned

So love has walked out the door
and left you with hope and nothing more.
Don't chase her cause she doesn't want to be caught.
If you catch her, then what?
It may take awhile but soon you will accept your plight.
Holding onto hope will never compare to holding her in your arms in the middle of the night.
Loosen the grip of your fingertips.
All the hope in the world can not compare
to the pleasure of your sweetheart lying there.
Oh I know it hurts way to much
when you think of her smile and yearn for her touch.
But happiness will never be found
by wishing and hoping she was around.
I know it seems like you leave a piece
of your heart when you let go
but it will all come back to you
as you go with the flow.
And as a semblance of order returns
just write this one off
as feelings burned and lessons learned.

"loosen the grip of your fingertips" - that's so very hard to do.
I enjoy your writing, JamesMichael.

========================

SBJ ... I love the way you brought this one full circle and held on to the hope and let go of the bitterness...
yes we learn all our lessons of the heart the hard way .. but if we can learn from it and not have our spirit broken so much so that we wont try again...
then that is where the learning comes in.
this is a sincere, well expressed poem with some really great lines and great rhyme flow
well done poet sir!!

oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive

A mixture of emotions come flooding into my mind right now if I compare to my life what you so beautifully wrote, you do possess much wisdom through the lessons you have been through thank you for sharing,

Love, Cerenity

You know what James??? I've always been amazed at you can express what I've been thinking. . .

Yes. . . that's it. . . *sigh*

Yes, sir ! And that's a fact !
Lift your oars from the water, my friend -
sometimes the 'flow' will catch you just right.

Amen. *S* This is great... Unfortunately, too many of us relate all too well. Well written!

We ARE in the same boat, my friend...

I am convinced...

Take Care of yourself, adn hold on to a string of hope...

Maybe time will turn its tide and I hope things get better for you soon...

regards to you James,
