The wean off love a slow process
but now must grow and stand alone
un-swayed by protestations
on the base of modern life.

But it lingers longer, far too long,
on that bed of memories
and suckles on a long lost love
for pretend sustenance.

And it clutches tenderly
those soft and fluffy feelings
placed within easy reach
of emotive needs.

And then when unawareness falls
dilemmas of the heart collide
and soul, the only referee,
declares death or resurrection.

And so the wean off love it seems
is measured, made, to coincide
with spirit’s own frame of time
not yet hung in consciousness.

The wean off love; can it ere be
when spirit lives within a “me”?

Hi, Bunches of Honey!

"The wean off love a slow process
but now must grow and stand alone"

There is both sadness AND strength in your words.

Your beautiful spirit can rise above all mundane concerns. Fly, beautiful poetess! Fly!

Sending a loving hug your way,
Linda

Thank you, ebm. "Bitter sweetness"? Yes, perhaps you're right.
