Illusions I wonder if I could ever chart the distance to your heart, following coastlines, navigating the data to reach you in time. I wonder if someone else has coursed you faster, and I am to be the runner-up, second choice or none at all. No distance is too great for me... can you say the same? I wonder if your feelings are always suspended in mid air and your truths floating about, never to touch me. I wonder if your eyes ever skim the horizon trying to catch a glimpse of a perfect fit... if only. We are a room full of fear, fear of truth, fear of love, fear of your presence in my place. And mine, to never fill the empty space of you. I am scared, a coward, reaching towards a never ending hallway, with thoughts of you leading me on. I want to be the one you need, when need is all you want. I want to rest in arms of you, when the moon is full and the darkness is saved for another time. If I could structure my moments I would plot them, illustrate them with your touch, bring a wholeness to the parts, each of us tangible to one another... So there would be no doubt that we are an illusion, no more. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

I love the honesty of these words. It isn't a good feeling to never know where you stand with someone you care about. The title fits this so perfectly. Enjoyed this.  Sunkissed."I have to hurry past the moon...to Jupiter..." |

this really is fictional... I am not so sure distance makes the heart grow fonder, or even if you can really cross the distance when in love. I was just in a wondering mood sitting here, not wanting to go out and shovel this most recent snow... *s thank you Michele for reading what sometimes is just a stream of consciousness Thank you James, we could use some of your sunshine or at least I could (I am one of those who has a hard time when deprived of the light of day) M [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (02-28-2003 05:13 PM).] |

They say each journey begins with a single step. Forget the chart....take the step. Even if the destination is not what you hope for there can be pleasure in the journey...I'm rambling As always, your words hold such a feeling of honesty and sincerity they shine on the page  |

Ahhh you are sweet to say so Michael, but for each step I take forward, I am often pushed back two, making it nearly impossible to reach out and touch any semblance of love. "Some day my Prince will come"... and he and I will both know it. (I am not one to search out love) Thanks...  M |

I want to be the one you need, when need is all you want. Your writing makes me sigh so good Maureen. Each one of your poems overflows with love and good intentions. Like you say, if only~ ~hugging you~ |

Maureen, fear is my strongest downfall now. I think I will stay in hybernation for quite a long time, and protect my heart. You express you feelings very well here. |

vandana, thank youBluesSerenade, you're sweet to say so Lori, but it is I who envies the depth in which your write. hugssss Wish you were here, it's almost 3 and I cannot sleep with this headache I have. Sitting up is helping. hugss Lori M Martie, I have a friend who says some day never comes ..oh..I think that may have been me who said that Sue, fear is mine too. I think at times I won't succeed, and then I go and do something, create something to prove to myself I have a talent to get through the rough times. I sometimes hybernate in my feelings. hugss M |
