 Threads of Melancholy Those loose threads Tighten around her soul In a grip of melancholy, Weaving a web of indefinite. I read her anger in her words, As they work their unravel. So sadly she fingers Brightly colored threads Once worn in a twirl of pride, Announcing a love and a life Surely that would last forever. Now, so pensively she moves Embracing their every movement. Like plucked daisy petals of wish They fall in helplessness To a cold ground of uncertainty. I can feel that anger yank, Tearing away any loose thread. While all too slowly Lethargically they float to the ground In wonder of their direction or purpose. Those once vibrant colors That wiped at tears of joy Now dab choked flows Of sighs and whys. It's then, mostly then, my friend I wish it was I for one Who could embrace you Instead of threads of melancholy. "Start where you want to finish!" Feel free to quote me, I may become famous. |

Sharon "It's then, mostly then, my friend I wish it was I for one Who could embrace you Instead of threads of melancholy." I have a feeling with these words, you just did.  |

"Those once vibrant colors That wiped at tears of joy Now dab choked flows Of sighs and whys. It's then, mostly then, my friend I wish it was I for one Who could embrace you Instead of threads of melancholy." Beautiful Sharon.. I'm sure the person in mind when this was written is more than pleased to call you friend...they are indeed blessed. ~Heart Hugs~ Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that. |

There are so many of late with some sorrow or burden to bear, and truly my heart does go out to them. Especially hurts when it is with a close friend. Thanks for your understanding of this. |

Sharon, I feel this deeply from your heart. There are so many threads of melancholy these days, I agree, with no rational explanation. Sometimes, I wonder if that is the way of the universe in bringing out the humanity in us. ....jo |

Your words are spun gold from the heart... ties that bind. A lovely offering of your compassionate spirit dear poetess. What was that you told me about giving it away? And something about the answers are inside of you?    People come & go in our lives but the memories & poetry remain... |

With places like Ron's livingroom, no one here at least is ever going to go through rough times in life alone are they? JM - got the message loud and clear - is there a moth smilie? Thank you dear friend. Ahah, there is now!  |

Hey Sharon, I sometimes link things together, as your poem of threads, and the threads here at Passions, and how passion always has threads of melancholy now and again. Tapestry of life...delicately laced with colors of you. Love, Reg |

Regina, you are so right about the connections we make in here, and stranger yet, they last so much longer, than "un-virtual" friends. |
