August winds howl around your sleeping
I sit at our window watching fields of space
looking out for that fly-by passion of yours
it never seems to show itself to me.

I cannot bear to lay aloof and stare at
this dream I am grieving while it awaits
patiently for my leaving
all wound up like the fat belly of a little Ben
filled with alarm
waiting
waiting for that thievish hour
when it steals me from you.

I love you
sometimes I don’t
though you might find that incomprehensible
It is true, I think.
What does it matter if I love you or not
My skin doesn’t get any warmer
and it’s through nights like this one
I wish I didn’t.

I just read Noah's response to your poem. Now there's a man who is warm and caring-- no woman would feel the need to express herself with such blatant pain as you have.
Remember, after the dark nights come the sunny days. Take Care

Well just slap me in the face with a mirror why dont ya.
Welcome back girlie...good to read you again..
I just sat here shaking my head at this...you have written my feelings as if you read me mothy mind..
this is a "i wish i had wrote this" for sure.
and its a keeper.

In the space between now and then
I lost the fire, lost a friend
and Ill never be the same again
Still, I believe in the innocence
we gave away.

You posted it...oh honey, huggles to you, brave lady.

Brave for so many things - amazing how brave we have to be sometimes, just to get through days with our nearest and dearest.

You'll do it, I know you will.

Love to you

Had I not been looking through my library I would not have known of this beautiful yet sad poem. I guess shame on me for not being around as much as I should, but I would have thought someone might have bounced it my way.

Lovely poem Mmy-- hugs n such other affections as is deemed appropriate.

filled with alarm
waiting
waiting for that thievish hour
when it steals me from you.

Love is strange like that. It makes us feel like we are on top of the world one moment then drags into sorrow. I believe that we carry our loved ones with us always, so we are never really apart from them. wonderfully written.

Battle not with monsters lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. - Friedrich W. Nietzsche

Maree, this is soooo powerful. I'm glad to hear things are going better now. Why is it that things can be so difficult around those we are so close to...well, I guess it is just because we are so close to them. But we do survive, you know? Great to read you again.

God bless America, my home sweet home.
