The Softer Side Of Me “I” among the thorns and thistles of this great land seeing with yearning eyes all around the harshness that is my domain, I desire a softer reality. This reality I speak of is the feminine side of my essence, I want to be truly loved. I have given of myself for so long with out feeling wanted as a women in love. Sometimes I ponder on this, am I asking for a pleasure that just exist in my mind made up because I do not feel loved or is there really a realm that exist? Do we as humans ever reach that plain of happiness that will keep us knowing we lived true loves powerful reality’s. Oh in the past I guess I would have to admit for a short while I was loved, but it died so very fast. I maintained my affection towards the other in every way and much, much more, trying to get to that place that made my soul complete but with no results. Does this mean that it just wasn’t meant to be or does love take on another shape, reality, or course? One my soul does not recognize or feel that power love radiates. I am not speaking of the obligations of life; I know trials and challenges come to all weather you want to reside alone or with another. I am asking for that look saying you make my everyday, the firm embrace telling me, he will never let me fall. The making of love that makes you cry in pure delight, these things can they be held for more than the newness of a relationship? I want to walk lovers lane honored paths, my head buried in your chest knowing you would never walk these steps with another. I want to be able to say silly things and not be belittled, I need to know beyond a shadow of doubt that when life’s challenges hit you will stand firm and ready beside me. I could go on about all of the romantic dreams I dream, but I just want to be loved back and this possibility just seems to elude me. I don’t know if it is me or am I asking for something that just doesn’t exist. The softer side waits for that day it can express its self in full and truly feel love in return.

~~~ Cerenity ~~~ You have perfectly penned the very same questions that I have asked myself so many times. Is there really love as I believe it should be, or is that perception just my fantasy? I haven't found the answer, but I appreciated every thought of your poem!!  Follow your dream! |

I agree with all the above Cerenity, but would like to note that inspite of the so called "machoism" of men, many aspire for the same, because we all have a "softer" side. Love touches us all and as you so succiently put it "The softer side waits for that day it can express its self in full and truly feel love in return." Applause for your piece...it definetly filled a niche. jwesley |

I too, must agree with all of the above. . . especially with my friend jwesley who said it best about the "male" of the species. . . This is an amazing poem from you. . . I feel that it says a lot about what's in all our hearts. . . I pray that you find it one day my friend. . .  ----------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sunny, I imagin it is a question pondered quiet often by so very many, and yet a universal quality that all reach at some point in their lives, love will always have its way yes, thank you for your kind words. Wynter, You are right it is out there but I grow tierd, my walk through life just doesn't seem to get any easyer, even when I try to keep a chin in the air. Thank you for your kind words. Juliet, Thank you for your wonderful reply. Miss Butterfly, I have tried to maintain the mind set that what I radiate I will some day get back, I treat people the way I think they should be treated and do not expect or demand the same or think this will get me prize I just wish, I think this is what we all do wish, thank you dear for you loving reply. Jwesley, "OH" you special soul I have seen many a gent with love and tender desires over flowing and are so wanting to share you are so very right and thank you for your kindness. Sven, I know you are one of those with the heart over flowing with tender afections and love to share with another and also the whole world like you do with your poetry, thank you my dear friend. ethrome, You are right it's different to each of us and it is always a gift, thank you so much. Brian, I have missed you hope all is well, I am hoping believe me, thank you friend. Kethry, Thank you I hope so too. james, Well my dear you have inspired me so very many times on the subject of love and I happen to love your poetry, thank you sweetie. Thank you again all, Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

This is very soulful. A wonderfully beautiful reading. Look within the heart of a poet, and you will see a reflection of their soul. |
