I will stand back and love you from afar, you choose it to be that way. My nearness to you brings pangs of distress and calamity in my thoughts. Our movement as one in union has become sluggish and rare. We must at this time maintain and co-exist in the same footage but apart in our routines. I have fought to bring us together to dance life's games but you tug and pull at the ropes so as to maintain your own ground of existance. You show no invitation for me to come in, and no ground rules do you lay.There is no convenance of your thoughts of any form. I have no control over your capacities nor do you of mine,but in sharing we could walk as one soul striving for the same mark together. No one should put limits on the affections of another,there are limits that can be reached were love cannot sustain its forgiving forse. I hope that you do not cross over that threshold into nothingness. It has to be a union of two and the desire to conquer to become one. By, Cerenity |

This a poem that I think many of us can relate to. I have actually been in this position where I have tried and tried to make a union, but the other person just stubborn, In my own experiences I have learned that you cannot make people do what you want them to, maybe they arent ready for the commitment, and maybe they will never be ready for the commitment. I will say this, don't wait around forever for people like this because they will end up hurting you bad. If things aren't progressing, your best bet is to move on. |

"Noone should put limits on the affections of another". This was a really good line. Missed reading this when first posted. So, I now kick it to the top because it's so good. |

Hi every one, WOW, WOW again, Where were all of you special souls during the times in my life that I have walked alone. I have to say something, yes at some time in my life each poem I have written has had a reason behind it, but I have to say I'm not going throught most of the stuff I post at this time, But I love all of your thoughts. Yes my life is something but sence I have been reading as many post as I can My mind has never been so peaceful. Thank you so much, Cerenity |

There is much truth in this poem. And you express it so well and so openly. I feel that if one rejects the notion of being together, it is meant to be that way. And sometimes the heart recognizes love that the spirit doesn't (only personal belief). I could go on about this subject, but no one would agree or be interested. But I like this poem and the depth of it. Excellent. Liz |

Well Said! I have read and re-read your poem several times while considering how to respond. From 18 years of marriage, I don't see the effect as hate, rejection, or limitations. Rather, I experience the dilema as cold indifference. I think I could deal much better with either passionate love or passionate hate. Indifference is indeed a vacuum of perpetual frustration.
