Empath I see things. When someone touches me, or brushes by closely, My mind is filled with images, cascading across my mind, washing me, bathing me, in their memories. It has always been this way, I can not remember when it did not happen. Imagine a little child, seeing, wondering, What is this? What does it mean? Where do the pictures come from? My mother told me of this gift, When I began to question. She helped me…..to understand, to use, to accept this gift. We all have it….but few had a mother like mine. I feel things. A touch, a close pass through an aura, and I feel so much. At times, the pain, the heartache, the transferrance, Is too much to bear…..and I run…distance being the only relief. I can consciously do it….but only if you let me. I can not read minds…only browse through the attic of your memories…and pain. But only if you let me. We all are born with it….most never develop it, Some are lucky….some are not. For some, it is a gift. For others, a curse. I can see death too. It no longer frightens me. Only saddens me. When I know I can only watch….in silence. |

~I am swimming here in all these thoughts and images you have put into my mind. Extremely deep and interesting this is. We need to talk. Goodness,...I've got chills and it's so totally amazing that you just wrote this poem. If this is indeed real to you, then you are fortunate to have a mother who understood and directed you with it...helped you to understand it. Right on Hardrock,...so glad that I just read this. Take care H. *Peace. |

Can you really....are you really like me?! this is lovely, indeed. I dread the curse, I wish not to see death... I love the gift, I long to know others depths... "There is an alter ego which dwells in every soul..." a-alibaster "I am as I am, nothing more, nothing less, I am tears of pain, tears of Death. |

SpitFire...yes, this is real to me. a-alibaster...Yes, I can really...and I AM like you....we all are. This is the "sixth sense" you have always heard about. Sometimes passed off as "Mother's Intuition", women are more attuned to it, because they are usually more connected to their emotions. But it DOES exist. Think about it the next time you touch someone's hand or arm...open your mind and see what pops in there....don't try to make it happen and don't try to figure out what the images mean...just let it happen. The more you do it, the easier it becomes. |

Marv, I loved this! And I have to thank you for some inspiration. Seldom happens to me lately but for some reason, this poem affected me. You smiled as you brushed past Then looked back deeply into my eyes Recognition? A hint of sadness? Your smile was there to mesmerize Around the room, party forgotten. The memory of your touch upon my arm Fascination The whisper of a promise In those glances I felt no harm Later as you were leaving You took my hand and held it tight Intrigued You whispered ‘be careful’ Then wished me a good night. Later I thought back on it As I narrowly avoided that collision Realization Of your forewarning In the gift of your empath's vision |

PdV...you MUST post that as a poem of it's own. That is so fantastic...you have experienced just what I wrote about. And you captured it so well here in your response to my writings. Thank you for your kind words. Marvin |

Yes, extremely thought provoking. Hope this gives you more good than bad. I tend more toward dream visions, I think this could create chaos in your life, if you feel and absorb too much to handle sometimes. Take Care Sandra |

Hardrock now I know why I have related to you right from the start.!! I consider myself an empath too, but not to the extent you mentioned for yourself. But I've seen enough to know.... It is a gift we should be grateful for, but sometimes knowledge isn't all it's cracked up to be. Thanks so much for sharing this with us, it's wonderful when we are truly comfortable enough to open up this way. great stuff I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn..... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

Wren..I hate to appear dumb, but what is the Sixth Sense...someone else wrote me an e-mail and made reference to it. Is it a movie? Drop me an e-mail: [email protected] |

this is a great poem my friend and i must say wonderful. though i have not been here alot lately because i have been packing up my house and stuff for the move to your state. i'll will be in South Carolina within a i think 15 days. i'll email when we get the phone hooked up and such. and to the poem i say never fear the exit. even if death is the exit from life. I'm a dying romantic and when i can no longer write i can no longer live -Jeremiah Johnson- |
