And when from the depths there rises up a shiver of fear and more than one tear they remain for a moment simply a sign of out of sight agony. It’s an agony that rips apart the security of heart when worshipped is the creation and not the sure creator. And though knowing there is more behind the eyes, the flesh, I yet love the walking talking “you” today as yesterday. But hidden in the silence is love that bears the agony of life that cuts and slashes heart with an evil unsurpassed. And so of evil what to say when heart in pieces can’t arise and fight the fight on level ground where everybody lives? Love merely shivers, cries, and lies a broken entity behind the eyes, the flesh, that loves today as yesterday! Helen / 11 May 2012 |

I don't reply enough, I know. I'm sorry. But your name always holds the promise of silk, or something even smoother, softer... I read this and I had a yearning to know something about you--I thought: "I wonder if 'her people' knows she writes...and so beautifully?" (We seem to be a secret society or somethin'.) Much Enjoyed, Helen. |

"And so of evil what to say when heart in pieces can’t arise and fight the fight on level ground where everybody lives? Love merely shivers, cries, and lies a broken entity behind the eyes, the flesh, that loves today as yesterday!" This is so deeply sad and you're so good at writing these types of poetry... I don't mean that in a negative way, I mean there's a deep beauty in the sad side. That's why I write the blues so much....sorry for rambling on so much. Write on Helen!! Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |

When someone reads this and doesn't receive a pang of truth screaming out at them, which in turn causes the heart to beat erratically, something is wrong with the reader. There is good and bad coexisting within the layers of this excellent, revealing poetry. I'm almost stunned. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Thank you all so much. I greatly appreciate your kind comments. Oh, and Karen, yes, "my people" do know I write but perhaps none of them have as yet come of age. It may never happen but just in case I'll be leaving a few books behind. I'm trying to distance myself from the one who writes (my soul?) but it ain't easy. I read here most every day however and am lately also guilty of not commenting as I should. I do have a history of repeating many things in my life so I'll no doubt be back in full swing when the time is right. Thank you all again. Helen |
