As I lay bleeding at your hands after years of meeting your many demands I wonder why it hurts me so,when now you say you have to go. I cower, sobbing at your feet and wonder, then, who I will meet , to comfort me and chase the pain. And teach me how to trust again. And after many years of this, your cold denial... your lifeless kiss... I pick myself up from the ground, open my eyes, and look around. There is a whole world I have missed while pleading for one loving kiss ! I need NOONE to comfort me, or heal my pain. Or help me trust. I need only take a breath, and know that God will do the rest. For as I lay bleeding at your hands after years of meeting your demands... There was something I could not see. That God had put his trust in me ! Jocelyn Galvano-Pickett 3/2/2000 |

Beautiful Jocelyn!! After this has done the rounds here you should post it in Spiritual. We ARE never alone when you put your love and faith in God. ***** Five stars for you  May the world hug you today, With it's warmth and love. I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart, That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world, Wishing you well and wishing you love...... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

excellent poem of inner strength, and faith... very well written and expressed...continued healing to you take care, janet marie When you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger... And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger While the loneliness seems to spring from your life Like a fountain from a pool. Jackson Browne |

BRAVO! I love poems when the poet realizes that they had the strength all along. You, Jocelyn, have said it so well, so poetically with the "as i lay bleeding at your hands." A great way to say what you feel. Chinese fortune cookie say: There are many unexpected & thrilling surprises in store for you. |

Danny, Thanks, Pal. I never look at time on earth as being wasted. We are all here, serving a purpose, and learning. I've written a poem about that, i'll post it later, ok ? Later, Dude Jocelyn |

Wonderful writing...and I am way to familiar with that lifeless kiss. Fantastic line..."There is a whole world I missed..while pleading for one loving kiss." I wasted five years of my life begging for that loving kiss. James |
