I saw you again. It was just like ~the first time~ though it has been a long time. How ~many~ have looked into those eyes, the ones that say yes, the ones that nod the go aheadness, the ones who make me think how special to you, I am the ones who move you in an almost imperceptible shudder, the ones who make me think I shiver you. The ones who make my heart flutter and I feel glad you don't know it! I kid myself mad at my own heart, for in my mind, I KNOW IT I KNOW IT I KNOW IT Yet, how ungodly long will it take to ~BELIEVE~ it, . IT'S OVER!!! . ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. "Desiderata" [This message has been edited by regards2you (11-30-2002 12:36 PM).] |

You speak the words I've felt but couldn't always say myself. It's strange how almost all people can feel the same feelings and this world can still be so messed up. Maybe its just me... |

Dixie, not surprised by your reply. Take care... hugs, Pat  Neveah, some people are just messed up, and we must be careful to take back our own power...no matter the temptation, that was not and will never be true love.....which helps a lot to dispell the control of charasmatic, selfish, empty, poor excuses for human beings.... smiling here...... that felt good! Thanks for responding... Hugs and warm regards to you both. Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Pat, in the past I have felt these feelings, too. It's very hard to get rid of them. They leave scars that seem to never heal over, at times wanting to fester up again. I hate that to happen, especially in relationships where the person who caused the pain is totally uninvolved. The one who caused me so many heartaches is deceased, but I feel that I'm haunted from the grave at times. Now, I certainly didn't intend to say all that, but it did feel good to say it.

One thing to know, another to believe--an honest write, for the heart--enjoyed! |

Pat It's hard to get past the anger of a love gone wrong, but if you can, keep that love with you, even if the taste is bitter now, keep the good part. A very emotive write, my friend, one I understand too well.  |

Noah, your caring heart is always so supportive of all of us. Such a special man you are. How blessed we are to have you among us. Hugs.... Ethel, How sweet you are. I understand about the scars and am glad you are able to speak of some of your heartache. I have some (not bad ones) visit me from the other side, and even if they were not nice to me while physically alive, I say to them all: go rest, now....I will not entertain them. My twin sister who died week of Christmas, 1999 came once to stand next to me, giving me her pure love....I could not be with her when she died and though spoke on the phone for half an hour with her right at the very end her mind was already gone with the cancer and drugs, she could not understand why I was in CA. when in fact she thought I lived with her.....she needed to reassure me she is okay when she visited me recently..I didn't have to send her away...she disappeared as quickly as she was here.... this all probably sounds strange, but I mention it mainly so you'll know you have the power of Christ within you. When you are ready for peace of mind, I'd tell you to tell HIM, to go rest.... I'm actually not in pain....most recent poems are being written from memory, no residual heartache, here... Hugs to you, Ethel...some good poems hiding in your heart????? smiling, Love Ya, Pat Thanks Seymour... ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

My head's a spinnin' with the emotions that have been stirred up by this emotive poem and by the replies that you wrote--as well as the responses your poetic gem elicited. So sorry to hear of the passing of your twin sister three years ago. As you know by her visit, she may not be with you physically but she is with you in spirit and you are never alone. You have a very special guardian angel. ~ lots of loving hugs Linda |

Sandpiper, Thank you for replying. Yes knowing and believing are very much different... Martie, This is not a current event. I know you have an understanding, and I appreciate your thoughts, and I agree. Linda, I have been forcing myself to write from mind, rather than emotions. Guess I did it, huh? I cannot say I don't feel this poem, perhaps it is more accurate to say I am no longer hooked on the emotions involved....It definitely touches me.... Thank you regarding my twin sister, Kathy, the purity of her love, and the calm, serene nature which came through were incredible....and healing...perhaps for her as much as me. I mentioned her mainly because some people do not realize the power they have and we do not need to be haunted, if we don't want to be. Ethel is a bonified Christian, accepting Jesus as her saviour, and in that faith, we are given His power, to heal, to bless, etc. I also am able to have out of body experiences, called astro projections and can prove that I do, but, that is another story for another time. BTW, I do not practice it. But might write it; oh? maybe prose? smiling here.... thanks for your continual support. You are an Angel, tsk! Hugs... ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |
