I’m a masochist
there's no need for whips or chains
love's pain will suffice

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

That is great.  I think that you have captured the mood of most of my relationships.  

Thank you very much.

Love,
Ladycat

Live in my world just once and you'll find yourself enraptured.

Bob darling boy, love shouldn’t hurt, you’re doing it wrong. I should flow over your soul with the soft touch of an angel’s wing. I love this darling boy you do these so very well.

If love is hurting
try my soothing soul kisses
I’ll melt away pain


There I’ve done another one for you but you can’t expect them to be good I can’t do them I keep getting extra syllables from somewhere.

Anyway yours are utterly utterly wonderful and I love it.

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy


Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

(big hugggssssss) I know this heartache so well, sweet friend, though I love my Joanna so so much, I still haven't met her and I want her so much and the yearning sometimes hurts like whips and chains, while I continue to dream for her for I am much better off knowing her than sacrificing her from my mind! (sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Well said my friend, well said.  Dont know the reason why, seems with all the people in the world that seem to be looking for the same thing that it would'nt be that way, but who knows?  Thats the screwed up part that puts the challenge in the whole deal I guess.  

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

When by simple choice
love is fleeting in its blink
stinging tears comply

Why does love hurt so?
I will never understand
why the heart betrays.

Wow, not at all what I expected, but you
sure captured the true essence of the meaning
behind the poem in as few words as possible.

Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky.

Interloper...Ahhh, but the beauty of love is a memory kept forever.  Alas, many times, pleasure brings its share of pain.   But we need the pain and the pleasure to fully experience life. A wonderfully, thought-provoking Haiku/Senryu!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...and bad checks accepted gladly.  We don't often cross paths but when we do...i get it.

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
Closer where I started
Chasing after you

Ah..how love turns us all..into whipping posts..from time to time. Train has a really good song.."Whipping boy" that touches on the lighter side of the pleasure pain. You summed it up real niice
