Between the Lines

0 posted 2001-06-09 04:55 PM



Today, I've given up on love,
it has no place for me.
The books are keyed, in diary
my ending's come to be.
This date of eight, a June filled morn,
I mourn my losses great.
Today's the day I've given up,
my life has turned it's fate.
Fantasy's reality inspired
once the write.
So hard the words, when none deserved,
the loneliness of night.
I gather up what's left within,
the pieces saved, the scraps.
And cling them to my aching heart  
whose beating barely taps.
It's sighing sounds escaping me,
in breaths of silent moan.
Today's the day I've given up
a diary of all alone.

"The worst prison would be a closed heart".
...Pope John Paul II

OH GOSH, PLEASE, DON'T GIVE UP, DON'T EVER SAY THAT!!! I know how sad you must feel and empty you feel through all of this, but God is simply preparing a great love for you, the most beautiful one you could ever dream of! (sad sigh) I know it feels it may never come because you've waited so long, but if you lose faith in your dreams, you may look back on your life later and regret having lived so many days without anything to dream for. (big hugggsssss) We all love you so very much, and we are all rooting for your happiness! If you eevr need anyone to talk to, we are all here for you! Keep the faith, dear one, and I pray with all my heart you find what your heart has always desired as soon as possible! You have such a beautiful heart, dear friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Don't give up....even behind the darkest cloud is always a sunbeam of Hope and Love.
Even when you think you are alone and feeling sad.....give it time my friend, and you will see it will bring back your smile

If I read this right... you are to be congratulated on giving up a diary of all alone....
Today's the day I've given up
a diary of all alone.

which would infer you are now looking at a diary which includes others...

Don't give up!  I want you to keep trying....love's hard but it's necessary!  You need the special touch that keeps you sane in all the biological functions....don't give up I refuse to let you!  It's there you have to let it in with a smile and open mindedness!


Love to ya!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

give up... give up all the loneliness and enter into a new world. Wonderful write. I only dream of having as much courage as you do.

'if the well runs dry...should the day turn to night,
be assured this road doesn’t end.
should you be blinded...should the only light on your way burn out,
always remember the eternal arms of love that continue to be outstretched.
in the end, inspiration will find its way back to you, weary one.'

I hope you don't mind my quoting some lines from a poem I wrote, which I thought you might like to read...
thank you for sharing your wonderfully expressed emotions with us, wynter...and, yes, the only things to give up are those "diaries of all alone" we seem to cling to for some reason...take care, my friend...

I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change around me
I’d tell it to your face,
But you lost your face along the way...
