My eyes followed as you turned away from me and moved backwards in time. Jealousy has finally escaped my grasp, pity in its hold. Undercover to conceal false dreams I have become the keeper of my will blinding myself to yesterday, despairing today while sifting through tomorrows' options. In a crowded room I fade, powerless at the moment, offering myself in words that too often curse my stay. I have been kissed by the art of verse using it, sometimes abusing it, in my time of restlessness and longing. I never wanted to be one of those that says "remember the good ol' days". I never wanted to be "remembering when" or reflecting in a distorted mirror wishing anything different than what was once my life. You turned away from me and it has become a death without a funeral, and everything I write is a eulogy delivered, sometimes taunting, other times satisfying the need to kaleidoscope the illusions that my emotions can challenge. My eyes no longer seek those dreams, come darkness. The shadows no longer control my mind. Age has caste me and with it comes loneliness. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Wonderful write, our yesterday is a cushion which helps direct our today and tomorrow, without embracing your past you could not have written such a great poem. Be well and take care, Regards, Olias. |

Maureen, even though this is sad with loneliness, there is also a strength felt in it. I've noticed this in a lot of your writes lately. And, like someone said, if you hadn't been through some of these feelings, you would never be able to write with the compassion and feelings that you write with. You have a very loving and tender heart, my friend, and I think your poetry helps a lot of people that you may not even realize. Thank you, Maureen, for sharing your heart with us.. Heart Hugs,  Ethel |
