every time our eyes meet
mine look down
and away

I have tried to show you with the
existence of separate beds
I have showed you
even more so
with my refusal to go
to yours,
but to say the words
and rip the hope
I see in your eyes
for a love confused
but not yet dead
is beyond
me
so I look down
and away

~Corazon~

This poem has much feeling and depth into it. Its very hard to say how we feel to someone, when they have that "look" of hope in their eyes. I hope things work out for the best for you!

A friend of ours wrote a poem for you long ago about looking up... I hope the day comes soon when your gaze isn't fixed on the floor... even if your new horizons are out the door.

Hmmm, it's Friday, isn't it?...

You know what they say sweetheart, when life gets that bad, it can only go UP and up it will go...Now how about a good old cup of tea?  Some good old fashioned hugs as well and I'm sure Suthern can bring some yummy cake..

Corazon,
this is moving...touching emotions...
I understand its feelings...a friend of mine was going thru a painful divorce...this was a favorite verse of hers...she said it gave her strength..your poem here, reminded me of it...


"its so nice to wake up...all alone... and not have to tell someone you love them...when you dont love them anymore"...Richard Brautigan

 ...there are places inside all our souls...
that have never been touched...
there are places inside our hearts...
that need to be loved this much...
Janet Marie

*I miss you baby...
I love you, always.*

Keep on writing--life is hard sometimes, just remember good times will come again.  They always do.

Corazon~
Hon, when you're stuck in neutral ...
it's time to shift gears.
Look ahead where you're going,
not backward to where you've been.
Just don't glance away.
A *hug* is yours.

Corazon, this is a bittersweet piece to read, but, still worthy of great praise, it is such a painfully beautiful poem.
You express your emotions so well and with a sympathy. I wish you all the best, and know that you have friends here to help you when you are down.  

Take care,
Melissa Honeybee

Like the old song says, "I been down so long it looks like up to me". Hang in there, girl. (at least, it's a good way to find dropped nickels   )
