I was once wrapped in you.
Your moments kissed my own
like warm fleece against winter skin.
While walking in the wake of we
there were no objects to stumble over
and now there are all these jagged formations of stone
cutting my feet.
pity
really
since I used to be able to walk into you with my eyes closed
and know your voice wouldn't bite me
the first time I hesitated.
This isn't sarcasm or anger.
This is my trust in duet with pain
a mismatched pair speaking fluently
in a garbled colorless language.
We are becoming usual
and I am less forgiving of it these days.

a duet done with passion"

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Jennifer, I could almost feel the sharp rocks under my feet eading this, sweet friend, my heart goes out to you and hope soon there is nothing but soft carpets dry-cleaned in faithfulness that you can walk on forever with the love you are so deserving of! (sigh) I send angel hugs your way, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jennifer, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Oh yes, that says so much to me.

You write of sorrow in it's truest form.

Pity is a fact of life, and I'm pretty much there tonight.  

Loved your Poem Temptress~

A very powerful ending, Jenn.  We are becoming "usual"...that just grabbed me.  Excellent!  

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

Jenn,

I am so sorry to hear of your pain. I hope that in the end all the pain you are having to suffer with right now will vanish as you develop into a beautiful lady once again on your own. I know you are strong and can rise above.

To become "usual" is something that no one should attain to.

Thank you.

I can feel you letting go in this piece, Jen. The look backwards is still painful because you were obviously very much in love. I guess sometimes you still have to let go.

Jennifer, this is so beautifully written....but, dear friend,
there are so many emotions just flowing out of it......painful emotions.
Sweetie, I hope and pray that these feelings you are experiencing will
soon be replaced with good feelings from deep inside
yourself. I know it hurts, Sweetie, but you have such a
loving, sharing heart,
and I'm absolutely sure that true happiness and joy will come
your way again. I thought I would never find it again, but thank
God I have, with my "true Love". Just remember, you have
the unending support of all your "family of friends" here at PIP.
I wish I had known of all of you when I was going through so much,
before I met Gary.

Love makes the world go 'round (unkown)
with love and hugs from Ethel

This poem is a mirror to me
i seem to be be on the the wrong side
i am the destroyed
not nice really not nice

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of  place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

The part that slams home for me is "pity/really."

Unfortunately, it happens. We build a protective wall around ourselves when we've had enough.

Hope all is well, Jen.
