Fresh from the earth comes a sense of rebirth like the feeling of love with its tempting worth but it’s only a sense wrapped up in denial and bound with string of strong self control. It hovers and loiters unsure how to shine when the sun rises up on uncertain minds scared to breathe in and feel how it burns and frays the edges of enforced loneliness. Thick as a cloud preparing to rain or dismay as it builds no hope for today the sense of love lies down in a ditch and covers itself with dirt from the earth. There it lies waiting those who would go far from the realms of familiar abodes to dig and remove and say, “I know you, you’ve been some time in my unconscious mind.” And the sense of love rises up from the grave but only halfway and still covered in pain till the breeze of reality blows a whirlwind and spirals it up to the heights of desire. The sense of love no one can ere see - but I really don’t know, perhaps it’s just me sensing and feeling from dreaming nights what here on the earth is not meant to be! |

That verse has my name on it, so perhaps you are not as alone as you think. Those little arrows go straight through my heart, and hurt so bad. But oh how I love your poetry, Helen dear. |

Bluesy - thank you so much. I think I'd rather like to be a bit more out of touch with the way women feel. Next time I'm coming back as a man! For sure!  Martie - thank you so much for reading and always taking the time to comment. |
