In quiet moments of earthly despair I turn and find no one is there my heart is bruised and full of pain I’ve given too much of myself again Tears coursing rivers on my cheek sobs silence in a voice so weak reaching out to find no one there in my quiet moments of earthly despair Have you felt this earthly despair have you sought someone to care only to find an empty space no comforting arms, no smiling face Once more I reach out to find you there and once more I find you do not care tears dried, I move on from this place to hide away in my heart’s disgrace Deeper will I go into this shell withdrawn no more from hermit's hell in quiet moments of earthly despair I learn to forget, I learn not to care |

*sigh* I could have written this poem but not nearly as well as you have....My heart breaks for you that you are at the point where you are feeling such despair...**big big hugs** I hope and pray that the pain and empty feeling fades, dear one. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

 (big hugggssssss) So very sad but well-said, sweet friend, my heart goes out to you and I hope now you have found someone to console you and to offer you love and comfort, for no one should ever feel lonely and deserves to be happy! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, my heart is with you always! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!    May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

This is very sad, Poet and I do think that at one time or another we have all been there. This seemed to have come from deep down inside and is a good strong write. floria Floria |

Thank you all for you kind comments. I do think although I wrote it as fictional, it comes close to being ME at times.  |

The Devine IS found in the giving, in the sharing as the song goes you are not alone in being alone and it is easier to forgive than forget but unless we do forget we can not forgive ourselves very touching piece. speak and I shall listen.......... |

I have felt this many times, and your poem reminded why I will never feel it again. I really enjoyed this one, very well done in content and style. ~* Carpe' Diem *~ |

Despair can be such an overwhelming feeling. You've written this kind of pain eloquently, and with great tenderness. |

Oh, my heavens... If we must lead parallel lives, I'm going to file a complaint that you got all the talent! *G* It may be fiction... but it's pure truth... and this heart recognizes every word. *S* This is superb, PDV. |

Poet deVine... I know how you feel. I was in the pits of despair, and turned to someone I thought would help me. They just made it worse, made me doubt myself even more, made me a laughing stock and completely betrayed my trust. I do hope, as others have said, that it is fiction. But if it isn't, I understand your pain. Bec "Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. And all you can do is to go where they can find you." |

Forgetting is good The very act of this distressingly sad write proves you do and shall always care. I have missed your work Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

There is a lonely heart behind these lines. What other kind of heart could have written this? The words flow, and carry the same message through each verse... "Are you there? Do you care?" Wonderfully written, and so sad. |

Poet deVine, this is such a sad, but lovely written jewel of poetry. Let me respond in a poem, "Love's finest wine", posted in a new thread, which you, dear one, inspired. ((Poet deVine)) -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

That's when the lines start to blur, when art imitates life. Very well done. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |
