Has not been academic. But rather, what I thought I knew turned 'round and made systemic. An illness overtook took me; They call it melancholy, A disease of mind and spirit And heart that's gone all hollow. What has happened to my heart? It was sacrificed most willingly Upon an alter of the unknown, Love -- divine insanity. And spellbound 'tho you might have seemed I'm not the girl that's in your dreams. All the same, there is love, A plague from Venus to train her doves. [This message has been edited by iliana (03-27-2004 03:51 AM).] |

iliana, What has happened to my heart? It was sacrificed willingly Upon an alter of the unknown, Divine insanity. This sounds Aztec. There's a lot one can read into this. Hey, is there a full moon out tonight? (It seems you and I are both are moody... mine is better now. Hope yours is too.) As always, I enjoy your poem immensely. Sadie |

Sadie, no not really moody, just writing what comes (go back to #30 and read Blue Rose) if you want more insight into this one. Glad you're feeling better. And, thanks for posting. Luv ya |

bbent -- thanks very much for your comment and for reading. I don't know much about Venus really. I just know that love has played a few jokes on me, but that as a result, there is growth and expansion. Someday, when I get my heart back, perhaps it will be fuller, wiser and more generous, who knows!  .......jo |

Nice work! Like this very much... "Upon an alter of the unknown, Love -- divine insanity" So true in so many ways. Eric |

Muted, sweet lady -- I believe, too. Really -- I just think that love evolves like everything else, maybe even more so and that someday I'll have a new one -- better than before! Thanks for your post. .......jo |

Dixie -- what can I say....I'm an empath? No, I'm okay really, just waiting for my heart to return. Thank you sweets for reading and know I do understand. |
