were I free . . .

to give the whole of me –
the depth of me –

I’d love you so that you would never know
another woman ever existed

perhaps . . . I am nuts

that’s my fissures showing
my tears
and torn
flowing . . .

but sewn whole I’d never let you go

and you would believe . . .
in Eden

yet, I am where I am
by choice I wear these bonds

fettered

yet . . .

free

from the guilt of the torn in me


s.a.t.


Every action generates a force that returns to us in like kind . . . let us choose compassion and love

Some would rather simply believe in Eve... than in Eden...

we've all tasted the apple and been cast out of paradise... but cast out in good company I would say...

a very nice piece of work ma'am...

indeed

"and you would believe . . .

Beautiful line.

I was in the place you speak of once upon a time...bonds can be broken..at the right time.

Sometimes giving everything still isn't enough... but how beautifully you write the wish! *S*

Oh, Susan!

This is so very touching.

Eden can manifest in your heart N0W ... there is no other way to experience it I think.
Because in a relationship we actually get never enough!

Beautiful write.
Hugs. Margherita

Thanks Alli - hugs

Margherita - yes - Eden must be created within, but it always helps to have someone to share it with - thanks dear

James - could do and should do - they are not always the same - sometimes love means sacrificing what one could do for what one should do - thanks for your reply

Hugs all - Susan
