when was it
we last said good bye?
both our hearts were insulted
beyond belief
beyond all those changes of pain
despair
loss
but oh true love
while you're
in the arms of another

my greatest joy
is hearing you express
the happiness you've
come to know

experience poured into our souls
from knowing without knowing
zen harmony
of our passion
leading us
to a secret of all secrets
we are better for the passion
our two hearts shared
that once was us....

exclusively intentional

gifting the mere logic of life
feel me in her....
know the truth
that depth of love

I once felt

in the warmth of your arms

and that we are better
because of it...

it was nice to see you again
  good byes are great hello's
and open doors
  to other love's
that make us better
more responsible
   more...
in love with meaning
and soul's touch
God's purpose
in us

LeeJ......The depth of freedom from so many human negative emotions and the power of your outlook in this, is overwhelming.

There is a lesson learned when one can appreciate a gain in a loss.

  "good byes are great hello's
and open doors
  to other love's
that make us better
more responsible
   more...
in love with meaning
and soul's touch
God's purpose
in us"

~ Oh, Lee, that was love-ly. ~ as is the remainder of the poem.

Love to you,
Linda

Lee, can I just say I'm blown away?!  I love this poem for so many reasons, but most of all, I think, because of the metaphysical implications in it.   ....jo

Wow, you not only are a magnificent poetess, but you also have a big heart. You can accept what is and wish your love well.
This is true unconditional love.

It sounds like a sacred text.

Love,
Margherita

Dear Lee, this was just beautiful my friend, I enjoyed each line of life filled passion and love, not hate but experience and these lines blew me away.

So now I know that the reason for my absence was to come back and read this just when I needed to.  I've been thinking a lot about "goodbyes" just lately and you've made me realise that they certainly can be good things.  

You get "right in there", LeeJ and hit a spot of truth.  I so enjoyed this penning.
