i Eyes of catch-22, chaste Ligaments, lapped on bone Traditions in a pea tree dish Shames the imagination Where body stretches to Accepted wisdom, bites and calls Human recognition! I throw in the trash Waiting, with legs crossed For the hidden dancer, while Kissing the overlooks of mountains, I failed to see Generating pure exaltation Consumption for which no man speaks Lends simultaneous unearthing Of extensive resources ii Someone laughed because I don’t date? I’ve caused enough tears to last a lifetime If it doesn’t work out and I walk away Who cares for the heart I’ve just slain? iii Sea flaps darkness which loudly Knows fear, yes, darkness knows terror Everything fears something Some alarm happiness for others… Privilege is counting the change of life support Finding some spot on the surface Where noise burrows into the breast of man Blood then, feeds metallic fingers Consciousness adds diversity to senses Pure momentous adoration rolls rounded Abandoned by lovers, but not by love Archaic inserts the ballad See night sipping on the loon’s voice Speaking unison with man Dimming the light of dreams Like a sensuous melody Barking at shadows of trees How can happiness be achieved? By definition, the white knight of compassion My intent here was to relate the tragic sorrow of divorce...the ending of any relationship is like a death...very sad, sometimes very ugly, painful filled with persecution, grief and a great loss of confidence, which leaves us open to self examination...it has been my experience, that causing pain for another, causes great heartache and sorrow for myself...its difficult when you feel you've disappointed someone, hurt them...not been able to agree...and yet know deep in your heart, you cannot compromise your beliefs or self...

Someone laughed because I don’t date? I’ve caused enough tears to last a lifetime If it doesn’t work out and I walk away Who cares for the heart I’ve just slain? sometimes when I read you an anxiety builds up in me..this is such a read. hugs M |

Lee, everything you write is so incredible. I am always at a loss for words to describe how they leave me feeling.. This particular one is outstanding! ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

Abandoned by lovers, but not by love Archaic inserts the ballad See night sipping on the loon’s voice ~*~ I, with the others, sense more than a presence in your words... but never, ever feel futility...  |

LeeJ You are so full of thought...I sometimes wonder how you are able to light the page with so much meaning, so often. |

I love what you do with language, the way you blend connotations and homonyms into the flow of the poem, in a way that adds to the meaning....very creative stuff! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

I have to agree that your writing takes the reader down so many paths, thoughts, ideas, sensations - always a treat - a feast for the mind - hugs my friend - SIf I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . |
