I loved that way once, still a residue of that left in me though the years toll and the limberness has more desire in it than ability. I sometimes rock myself to sleep in sitting up dreams needing to remember, keeping the heart awake, rose colored glasses removed allowing the eyes to see and the mind to absorb truth. You can touch me there and even there, leaving soft imprints, though some bruise the heart with want, wrapping me up in memory, to shelter from the aloneness of tomorrow. I lack the courage to admit "the worded truth" and escape by this, failing in my attempts at farewells, failing at the lingering, bonded emotionally, the attraction an "always". M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." (Will Moss) |

some used to tell me, you cannot tell the heart what to and what not to love... wonderfully written, especially liked your stand up dreams... and this I lack the courage to admit "the worded truth" and escape by this, failing in my attempts at farewells, failing at the lingering, bonded emotionally, the attraction an "always". reminding me how telling the truth, to ourselves regardless of how hard it is to do so, eventually releaves us of the heavy loads we carry with us... well, I could highlight each and every line, as this poem was not only filled with many amazing visuals, but, also, true grit...enjoyed!!!! |
