Mahal Kita!!!

I feel you slipping
away from me
like a sand
in my hands
Slowly trickles
Through my fingers
Until suddenly
Painfully, desperately
I close my hands
to hold on to some of it
But most of it
already spilled.
My heart
now
Emptied. Finished
Gone.
And the rest of me
Loose, torn free
Tried and frightened
Crying, fading
Wondering
WHY
You can’t
Love
ME.


This isn't really that good, but it's still in the works.

Sometimes Love is like awkward poetry, the words may not be just right
but when love comes freely from the heart the message sings!

hey i thought it was very good. you are your own worst judge, you know. I truly hope this isnt how you really feel about somebody b/c that is most unfortunate. The idea that love has escaped your heart is a cold illusion. Remember that.

Kristine, you've got a good start.  You might want to look around Critical Analysis, and better yet, join up in the Poetry Workshop.  Just ask Nan for the key to the door...

In Critical Analysis and Poetry workshop, you can hone your poem until you feel it is just "right" and then present it in Open Forum, or the various other Forums, like Spiritual, Corner Pub, etc.  

So, write on!

There is nothing more inspiring or immeasurable than the pain of unrequited love, keep writing, it will never be perfect but it is therapudic
