Tethered...Soliloquy Wondering why my timing is so poor... Is fate intervening drawing from me This constant yearning, a cancer spreading? Listening to sounds of heaven's release, Thunderous, as these tears trickling down Join those I watch on the misted windows. Increasing day by day, my emptiness Until this morn, when it rained upon me, Thinking how every moment of feeling Pains me in pleasure, in want, need of you To reach into your heart and allow them, The words needed, to quell my "explosive", Emotions, that clamor to rhythm heard, As each bolt strikes and the seconds follow. Why I ask? Why is it that I rely On others to gift upon me rainbows, To color my world in shades of loving, Removing the grayness that tethers me To this negative world where I reside? I am corrupted by these pleasure thoughts Wondering, waiting, for time's replacement Of my pains to pleasure, releasing me. M 2k "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

You are so right to be apprehensive; passion leads the mind at a pace it often cannot control. I read wisdom in your eloquenrt words. |

Dear Maureen, that is such a sad poignant poem my dear that I really feel for you. Never look back and think of what might have been, look forward to the great things that can happen to you if you set your mind to it. Count your blessing my dear and I know they will far outweigh the unpleasant things in your life. For starters you have some wonderful friends here on PIP, me included who are all pulling for you. I wish you well dear friend. Love. Lindsay |

ctowen, thank you Craig...now yu are on the west coast??? you sure get around Linda, thank you for your kind words..I wrote this a while back as a challenge I nelieve. But it still stands! M LindsayP, No one has to feel for me. Life has its ups and downs and sometimes more of the latter...lots of losses and really not much to look forward to right now. More of just getting through each day as it comes. Maybe its an age thing or looking back and wishing that some things would have happened differently in life, but we can only control a very small portion. Thanks for your concern, M |

I have been away from this forum too long and I almost missed some truly wonderful writing. Glad this one didn't slide me by. I must say I am truly impressed with your creative talent. pt 1 was also unbelievably well written |

Maureen, wishing that some things had happened differently all depends on one thing...am I alive now and am I content? I remember talking to my daughter's husband about my marriage to her mother. It wasn't really an easy marriage and I wasn't the best of husbands. The divorce was not friendly, either. I was speaking about how I wish it had been different, how I wish some things hadn't happened, and how I wished I had a chance to do it over. Then I stopped that line of thought and said, "You are married to my daughter and you are both happy and have a beautiful daughter of your own. If any part of my past had been different, we would not be here speaking right now. Our lives would have gone in other directions. WOuld you want me to go back and change anything? He said no and I said me neither. All of the twists and turns and ups and downs have brought us to where we are right now. If you think it could be worse, then accept all of the decisions, right and wrong, as being part of the road that brought you to where you are right now. End of sermon!!! btw, you displayed very powerful writing here. |

Maureen - I remember well Moonchild and the passion, emotions, and talent of her being. At times I am truly touched by her words, this is one of them... BC |

To all: Mike especially, I am alive and content...this was written about 10 years ago but if from there I flash forward, there were even more personal close deaths of my sister and brother in law and of their suffering, of my favorite aunt who was like a second mother to me, of my husband's DUI accident and the results and other events that were never under my control but affected me and still do. What do I have to look forward to? Whatever comes my way day to day and hopefully it has less negative affects on me. I am not complaining, I just wrote the feelings of that time. Thank you again for the responses. M |
