i write my heart i used to think i knew why these days i am not sure i know it helps to some extent because when i lost my love not my husband but my love the only one that lives or has ever lived in my heart a soul that only wanted to help others and i guess he reached his quota and now he is free and i guess i haven't reached mine because i am not and i wrote and wrote until i wrote the pain bearable in my heart but dead lovers do not make good gossip don't you know? only the ones with a like heart can really really know the pain of the loss of more than half of you and so i write my heart and i write that i am in love because i am he is in heaven but that is just logistics but you don’t want to hear that because love poems make for good gossip don't you know? i have a bad marriage but i don't leave and i cry and rant and no one understands why i don't leave and dead marriages drug over a bad road don't make for good gossip you know? i have good friends they lift me up without asking why they hand me tissues, unqualified its enough just to know that i cry and i do cry and most times i don't know why, so i write missing you poems because i am missing something in my life and missing you poems make good gossip don't you know? and so whispers start about my broken heart and who done it and whose to blame and i only wanted to write poetry and at missing you's i am good elsewhere besides in passion's glare they receive high acclaim here they only fuel the current gossip's roast missing you's make the best gossip i would guess and so if i were to write that my very best friend of more than four years asked with all care and concern Is it possible that it is me that makes you cry? Would that i lose your friendship if it would make you smile. and if i were to write that i replied no it is not you that makes me cry not ever it is me i make me cry i miss me and i can't find me and i don't even know who i am supposed to be anymore and then if i were to write that he quietly hugged me waited for me to stop crying and went about helping me figure out how to fix what's wrong in my life well that would just be good friends and true life not wiggles for wagging tongues because good friends don't make good gossip don't you know? i only wanted to write poetry i want to be in love i want to miss someone too i wanted to find my healing along with you i only wanted to write poetry i guess you didn't know i told you my search ended behind a yet unopened door but that's not good gossip then there is no one to point at and blame did you listen or were you too busy searching for what i didn't say? from me this is my very last i only wanted to write poetry but that's not good gossip either i guess i would rather this got no comments, if it touches you that is enough, and i must add thanks and a sincere goodbye to those who supported me and commented with a true heart on my poems, there is no need for names, they know who they are...hugs to all and goodbye [This message has been edited by Corazon (edited 10-18-2000).] |

Since when did I ever do as I was told?..  I don't know what has happened but I'll willingly share my tissues with you as you have shared your feelings, you've got more courage than I have...I can't write anymore because it only causes me more hurt to share and so few people know me I just end up apologising. SO sorry for answering but I do care and couldn't let it go without saying so.. HUSG sweetheart |

Hon...you know I couldn't let this go without comment. I am so rarely on here anymore, but I'm glad I didn't miss this one. You and I, I think, have led parallel lives. We've shared so many of the same pains, the same hurts and I think that is why we can relate to each other's poetry so well. You've never written a poem that hasn't touched me deeply. I've felt your sadness, your hurt and your quest for healing in your words. I understand there comes a time when we must sprout wings and go out on our own to find those things we so much and so longingly search for...and although we may gain the friendship, the support, and courage we need to do so here.....we both know, here is only a stopover on this great road of life. Whether we communicate often or not, you are always in my thoughts and prayers. Your presence here will be sadly missed, but I understand. Please do promise me though that you will continue your poetry as I believe it helps so with the healing....I should know. Please e-mail me from time to time to let me know you are doing okay and if you ever need a shoulder to cry on, I have big shoulders. Hugs and much love, Ruth hoot_owl_rn@yahoo.com |

Well I for one am certainly not going to go against your wishes and comment on this... Instead I will reply...!!!  lol...Sometimes poetry is just poetry and people take it wrong, get confused, read into it what they read -- ( and I think that's what poetry is about anyway ) but in a dynamic forum it gets out of context sometimes... as poets we all take bits and peices of what we feel from different parts of life and meld it into the aggregate 'feeling' of the moment... it's also important that we make friends in this venue and have feelings for the people in this box... it's not just a screen with words on it -- there are people in here... and people are people -- we're not perfect -- and -- well -- as I always say -- making friends is like peeling an orange -- and sometimes it gets messy... it just gets messy -- but you can't get to the sweet stuff without it.. people pass through our lives and the best thing we can hope for is that when the forks in the road come we can be glad we rode together for a little while... Happy Trails to you Corazon -- it was a nice ride -- big huggszzz and I'm sure I'll be seein ya round... |

Like RG, I rarely do as I'm told... but I do supply my own tissues. *S* And like Marge, I sure do like listening to your heart talk... I just wish it could be singing the songs of joy you deserve. And like Hoot, you know I'm here if you need me... Wait! What am I saying? You're not getting rid of me... I'm a ball and chain firmly attached to the ankles of my friends and there is no relief! *S* Seriously, you have so much talent I'm envious... and so much heart, I'm hooked for the long haul. And I'm a lousy gossip, O&O! *S* |

You have said an awful lot here, corazon, but then you always do in your writings. Things are bound to happen in a place with so many personalities and so much diversity. Poetry sites used to be places where one just came to read and respond to poetry but, when personalities, likes, dislikes, love, hate and envy get mixed in the words it loses it's intended function. I'm sorry it has touched you and I wish you the best because your poetry has always reflected your honest feelings and your sincerity..plus being extremely darned good poetry! I sincerely hope you find what you are looking for....please be well. |

This saddens me also, and I have to respond. The intended craft and love of poetry is the crux of Passions, or should be. All this other stuff is fluff and should be handled privately, somehow, but not here, not for the sake of poetry. I hope you will take care of yourself, I was just beginning to read you and I enjoyed what I read, it was honest, as this was, and sincere. If I wanted gossip I would invite my family over more often Please take care, and don't ever lose your love for poetry nor for the poets who supported you and cared enough to respond, even though you said it wasn't necessary. We don't need an Exodus on Passions, we need a Genesis. Because Poetry is truly a Revelation, let's not forget it.... best to you. < !signature--> "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey.""

Corazon, If the others can disobey so can I. I'm sorry you're leaving. I really liked your poetry and always took something away from your words. I hope that wherever you go you are happy. And keep writing it is a healing balm. Come back if you can. Be well Kethry Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |

Ok, yeah I know, bad girl!!! Would you really leave your friends, leave me with one less person to give HUSG to? Hey, shortly I'm not gonna have anyone left that knows what HUSG stands for....oooops, that's blackmail isn't it? Yep, we both nod our heads but I will understand I'll just have to send HugsTeam to hold your hand on my behalf, to look out for you and keep you safe... Be kind to yourself K HUSG |

This hurts deeply...that you would go because of the cruelty of others...people always read what they choose into a poem...its just too bad they have to hurt others when they do |
