so long

yesterday waiting, finally leaving
evening comes and I find you there
plotting the moments, conceiving the curves
interruptions always, needing to care

today with no sleep, I find the usual
blocking me out, wearing me thin
I can conspire, blueprint the wantings
but what does it matter, I never can win

so long it has been, so long it is now
I am but baggage that no one would want
tomorrows no different than yesterdays same
so long as the air has the long of the taunt

I hate this rhyming, but that's how it is
fingers let loose what the mind has in feel
worthiness empties, spills to recover
the merit of value, so long as it's real.

"Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less."

Maureen darling girl this is wonderful writing it simply throbs with an ache threaded through it. Like beads of want linked to a need that is never satisfied and always denied. Your writing is often exquisite this is superb truly speaking writing, it converses with a soul. Outstanding darling girl it is outstanding and I love it utterly


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

I, sven, Marsha, Toerag...I probably shouldn't have even written this one..

I, you are correct it is found within, but it never hurts to have the touch from without,
Sven, I know you understand
and Marsha...hugssss and xxxx for being there when needed

and Toerag, I must admit you surprised me by leaving a mark..and I will keep mine brief  for you..(since I don't really know you) but I think I maybe a bit too much for you..in case you haven't already  heard.. *s

(big hugggssssss) Oh Maureen, this is wonderful, sweet friend, I actually love this, for just that thought of being abandoned like lost luggage can relate to so many I'm sure! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Maureen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

ahhh... a rotten couple of days always seems to be when I do my best writing. Anger works well too with my pen. Best way to get it out, you know.  Well... you MUST know, because this is outstanding. I truly relate to it. Obviously you have value within, it pours out your pen, see?  Yes..that's part of it right there...in the form of talent.

The spirit is wild and tempestuous, yet longs for the gentleness that seemingly lies just beyond reach, held at bay by the very soul that seeks its solace, and one holds oneself guiltly, alone by virtue of oneself; in reality we all batter ourselves when down,
but step up we do again, some with a wild, tempestuous spirit that drive others around
one to new heights..."baggage that no one wants"...gimme a break...you're the breathe that most want to breathe, the spirit most wish they had, and the totality of your loveliness is wonderful to behold.

Cheer up, my friend...course you probably have already as I seriously doubt you stay down for long...


warm hugs...

Another gem...this one had such longing for freedom in it.  The rhyme was fine.  Bravo.
