Rules break
but the
pull
of love that ties us to hope
never changes.
Hope always decorates shelves
but how can you partake of flavor
when its canned
and standing with rust behind
cabinets stained with cheap colors?
.
.
.
.
.
back again
think I strayed.
So here I am thinking
about that someone I love
and yes
its you
and yes
its him
and yes
I know you're watching me
trying to figure me out.
There are those eyes on me again
asking behind muffled letters
if I'm the one
stealing all the love
meant bind him to someone else.
But know
that I only accept love that is given to me,
for I could never endure
a love I had to steal.
.
.
.
.
This is another part of me
thinking along the same
train of words
but making a different point.
She raised her hand,
and so she must have her turn to speak.
"Its always been this way.
never a love stolen
never a man accepted without his offering first.
Its always been this way
so few have come and gone in her life
and yet
they always came to her
when they could no longer drive
the whispers of love to the back of their heart
and heads.
She never did understand how they noticed her soul
when she hid her eyes so well.
She never could understand
when she was walking around
head down
gaze focused on ground and feet
shoulders never too confident,
how they could see that amazing someone
they were always in awe of.
and
she never held her hands out
with the subject of love written all over them and her heart."
.
.
.
There
now how could I be confused with a theif of hearts,
unless by some evil innocence I gain
the daring gifts accused of me.
Have I a slithering tongue so fond and magical
that I could even fool myself?
Ahh..
were I to have a knowledge of that
perhaps I could find the bottom of this mystery me.

There
I know what you think of me
rambling on from one subject to another
flitting from point to point
like a mischievious fairy
but all thoughts lead to knowledge of some kind.

I'm arriving again
another circle completed.
There is the constant pull of love
that ties me to the hope
of one day sharing your life.
I love you.
and yes
its you
and yes
its him
and its not me stealing
gifts offered first to me
its you
in total oblivious anger, boredom, bitterness
spite
and fear of changing
who is pushing what was already far from you
further away.
You lost a long time ago
and I am not the lost and found
you'll claim his heart back from.
Try acceptance without sulleness.
Try a smile without an ulterior motive.
Try love without manipulation.
Try doing what you say
saying what you mean
talking when you have something to say
but find a balance of extremity
in the tone and approach you take.
.
.
.
I've rambled again
and that was another me
making a different point.
And I'm here glad that I'm seperate
from situations written.
Dreaming of simply loving
and hoping to be heard.

For all who watch.Dare you say hello? Come in and ask the questions that are on your mind, but spare me your judgement until you truly sipped of me.

Dear Temptress

I read and plucked the pieces that I only thought would fit
And out of all the rambling, with some thoughts I came to sit
I thought of someone’s conscience, who must find it hard to sleep
I pictured someone saddened on a bedside as they weep
I found a page of questions, that were answered just by hope
I found a heart so heavy, unknowing how to cope
From it I found a story where guilt it seemed to speak
From it I found a pleading from someone feeling weak
And then I saw the strength again as strength it reappeared
As inner voices said goodbye and guilt it disappeared

I loved the work, This is how it made me feel.

Sincerely Rick
Till again

You indeed make this character speak.  Well done.

Thank you.

We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is outstanding! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jenn, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

as was said earlier, you make the characters in your work jump from the page. . . and this one is no different. . .

I like the title too, "Fictionary Ramble". . . gives it that story feel. . .

well done. . .
