The bleed is complete even the night is satisfied and I am simply bored with the color red The stone bows in reverence to a futile heart, finally recognized say goodbye love I’ve long overstayed my welcome |

I have to be totally honest with you, I do not think I fully understand your words, but they certainly are poetic! (Have you been feeling unappreciated in a relationship and now you are moving on?) Peace & Light, EA |

First of all....tis been waaay too long since ya posted one of these....dont make the moth wait so long .. yayay  Now............ The bleed is complete even the night is satisfied =================== could that opening line be any cooler??? damn I love the impact of that... the imagery and the personify too!! and I am simply bored with the color red ================== love the statement this makes and the image... as to the red? ... well.. thats why we return to the blue.... as in pretty blue flame hehThe stone bows in reverence to a futile heart, finally recognized say goodbye love I’ve long overstayed my welcome =============== I LOVE the stone reference and image.... and the whole essence of your ending...the whole poetic phrasing of this...it has such a classic, melancholy, tragic pen and quill quality to it... I think its one of your best...one of your most "deep and layered writes...succinct on the surface..but its in underlying emotions open doors to places deep. You've been taking your poetry to a higher level for several months now....Im enjoying the ride and the view  |

(smiling)... what JM said.... and... like the tone set in reference to the images presented.. it is in some ways a bit open ended for the reader to draw from it..what or who you are saying goodbye to.. making it an easy piece ot read layers into. On the surface..a lovers lament of sorts..final realization of the end..of the fact no more is to be bled..even the lust of night is satisfied... and the regret.. with perhaps a hint of self blame... very nicely done Duncan... very nice indeed. |

Duncan This sounds bitter...could feel cold through the words...a painful writing. I hope your goodbye takes you past this to a place with better heat and lighting.  |

We hear goodbye alot these days...Why not say Hello instead? I get a sense of giving up from this poem...Not sure if thats whats you tried for or not...Either way it's wonderful in many aspects! Thanks tons for sharing! Poetry is love and love is life. |

Duncan, I've was wondering if you were planning on leaving us, too. then, I read that you're "bored with the color red", and I thought about these pages being blue, like someone else said. Don't tell us bue. Okay??  Heart Hugs, Ethel (psssttttt!! You made a big impact with just a few words, didn't you??? LOL Very good, friend) |

How well you drop the stone into the lake...and then the waves carry on to all points. I enjoy your style, and write... Sadness for the futility at the end. TD |

This was painful to read, but I understand the sense of satisfaction when there is nothing left to bleed. I'm right behind you Duncan~ |

Behind a goodbye rests a new welcome. Sad but filled with longing. Warm greetings, Etain. |

Duncan - I have bled many times myself and yes - despite the pain - it does become quite tedious . . . still I bleed but with new blood - may you rise . . . xxoo |

Must be cured when the pain is more boring than agonizing. Like Wilde said, "Suffering is one long moment." Great write! Shenachie [This message has been edited by Bridget Shenachie (03-25-2003 02:07 AM).] |

Though the bleeding may have been consistant and thorough, the coagulation of your words inspire pensive contemplation. -MVS You CAN make a difference: |

We go through agonies thinking we can make things right, find the joy we lost ever so unintentionally... if only we do this, had done that... just put the hoops out there and we'll start jumping. But sometimes, there is no bandaid, no solution... and we know we have to just let go This brief but powerful poem touched me deeply, Duncan... excellent work! |
