No Longer It gets to me sometimes, more often than not, this summer heat and you. I no longer worry about the sweat as I make my body useful, creating my own destiny, different from my wants, now only tending a need, that to survive. I see you as always, cutting through the words, mine silenced by feelings of forgotten, loneliness your baggage always wearing your burden of black covering my mirrors in mourning. What was there ever, what was there never, what was there always that blocked your view of me, read me wrong, assuring both of us of another failure? Today I will be among the raindrops, soaking in their cool touch, my eyes allowing the moisture to combine with theirs, and I will know that words cannot make you whole, that possibilities are like promises, "made to be broken" that words like "love" and "caring" can never be forced. I will tend my garden, in the rain, weed out that which never belonged, paint my thoughts in song and will no longer blame myself for the feelings I have. I once was innocent, until you. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

So sad, yet wonderfully forthcoming. It's true, love cannot be forced, but that doesn't mean it has to hurt so bad. You're such a wonderful Poetess! Love and hugs to you Maureen~ |

"Today I will be among the raindrops, soaking in their cool touch, my eyes allowing the moisture to combine with theirs, and I will know that words cannot make you whole, that possibilities are like promises, "made to be broken" that words like "love" and "caring" can never be forced." I'm thinking that "wholeness" is only a possiblity, but perhaps the possibility that keeps one foot moving ahead of the other. "Love" and "caring" freefall in a quiet rain. - - - Always like to read you here. Kraw' |
