And More It's raining again caging me, keeping me inside, seducing me into thoughts of you. I hunger for just a taste, a small one of yesterday, when your lips seasoned mine with the sweetness of friendship and more. I borrow your words to fill the hunger, to live on your memories as I work through these hours. In the solitude of this graying day, I feed upon the thoughts of your touch, in hold of your arms, listening to the beat of your heart, enjoying how my presence quickens beneath your surface. ~~*~~ I hear his words today, adding to my gray, haltingly suspending my thoughts of you, finding fault with the smallest of tasks, taking me away from the happiness I find in the shadows. I respond unlike the me that is understanding and I sigh in relief when the door closes and the negative vibrations calm, as I pick up where I left off. He uses me, like a servant, discarded me a while ago and still finds the opening to hurt the years I once loved. I chide myself for allowing him to "get to me" and sit back down to continue expressing my feel for this day. ~~*~~ Nonsensical, this has become. A moment of today's truth, interfering with visions of you, and of the simple things in life I love. Who am I today? I am alone and contented, sorrowful that he has to take it away in one moment's statement. Yet thankful that my health is returning, and I am strong enough to ignore his all too familiar pattern. I am braving this day, proving to myself that I am tolerant and able to direct my thoughts back to you, someone who accepts me, sees my worth, always brightens the grayest moments, someone I can call "friend" and more. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Maureen, there is so much feelings and emotions in this poem. I can tell it's "one of those days" for you. I have them sometimes, too, when all the terrible things my late husband said to me come back into my mind. I have lots of good memories from our marriage, especially the ones when he was going to Church before he died.......but, the scars from all the hurt and verbal and emotional abuse still surface sometimes. You know what, though? I'm finding myself loving Gary even more when I start having those kinds of bad memories, because he is so much the opposite....and also because he puts up with my many moods. You, sweet Maureen, sound like you are such a sweet, loving, humble person. I'll be so glad when you aren't "alone" anymore. "Love makes the world go around" |

Ethel, sometimes I am not "alone" enough...  It just started out as a nice day, raining or not...it's those small interferences with intentionally hurtful comments that can try to erase the good feelings... I got through it and will just pace myself the rest of the day. Thank you for your caring words...my friends mean a lot to me and do give me the support and listen to my venting when needed. Thank you again, M Kacy, thank you...yes it's releasing day *s M |

Thank you Noah.. Barry, an umbrella? funny thing is my umbrella is always where I don't need it..like in the car when I need to get to the car or left in the house when I need one to get home ..I just let it rain on me..sort of washes off the "stink" if you know what I mean..all the negative stuff drains away... I love walking in the rain M [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (11-16-2002 05:20 PM).] |

A wonderful write Maureen. It's nice when you can get it all out. I know, it works for me too. |

Ah, but we inherit the days of forged legacy from past relationships. They live as memories, as friends, and sometimes as a beach hole that does not fill. You always say so beautifully, Maur, what is deep inside of many of us. Nicely done! Yeppers! Jeff |
