I’m listening....

so sure that if I’m still
long enough
the evocation of emotion
will lilt softly to me
the words
the way
to tell you good bye

it will come to me....

some sudden someday
in poetic personification
this perfect penning
in gentle love describe
not so your heart won’t hurt
more so that mine
will not break
anymore...

the time will come....

when I can hear your voice
and be left void of this ache
my wishful thinking
will no longer be
wrapped in the color of your eyes
or held upon
your fingertips
my lips, free
from the devotion
to your kiss....

.....today simply isn’t that day......

(big angel hugs) Oh Susan, this is soooooo beautifully bittersweet, dearest friend, I can understand how difficult and frustrating these types of crossroads can be for anyone, when you feel a pang of reasoning in your heart that something is discomforting you but deep down there's still a place that feels love for someone deep down that counterwills the desperation! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, you write with true heart, this is wonderful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Susan, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Well either way they are still words that would break my heart. An aching, caring and fabulous write.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

WOW, Sea....breaking up is so hard to do (now, I am hearing that song from the 60s).  Really, this is so well done and my heart goes out to you.  It is so hard, and this is so loving and thoughtful, showing your vulnerability....the tender heart.   .....jo

Ah..you know I am loving this angsty gem...
the vocab, allits and assonance added to this ones poetic loveliness...

more so that mine
will not break
anymore...

the time will come....

when I can hear your voice
and be left void of this ache
my wishful thinking
will no longer be
wrapped in the color of your eyes


when you learn...will ya teach me?

*sigh* ...

our hearts are on moth time ...
slooooooow motion. yaya  

beautiful heart write Susan...

Thru the water...thru the rain
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost gone

let not your heart break
rather break mine in its stead
that you be happy

I have missed reading your work, gal

Sea, this is a very sensitive, beautiful poem which says oceans about your beautiful, sensitive soul.  I understand that today is not the day, but, if you know that is what you have to do, for whatever reason, the sooner you do it, the least pain for you and him.  I kept on putting it off too, and kept on finding an excellent reason why it couldn't be done that day, but procrastinating, heightens the pain.  Sometimes, one just has to bite the bullet.  I am sure you will do it gently and kindly.  

Warm hugs
Owl

SEA,
Ahhhhmazing! I enjoy your writes.
Written so tenderly and gently.
Bitter sweet with pain and so full of
love.  Let me offer you hugs...and
don't give up........on love...but sometimes
we have to move on because theres
a rainbow waiting after the rain!
Thanks for sharing this!
