and love

 

 

and love, i thought,
would shatter my windows,
scream from my rooftops

it doesn't

it lingers
alone and lonely

a blocked artery
in the warm curves
of my blood streams;

waiting

in the sad suppression
of a heartbeat

    Unfortunately, I understand just that little bit too much what you're talking about here... With maybe that little bit of difference I'm missing " a " sweetheart since three months.

    I wasn't active during that time but finally found enough courage to come on here and live the words of my favourites...

    Actually, I'm dreadfully sorry I didn't catch this poem those few days after you've written it to try and comfort you a bit, but maybe - by now - your sweetheart is there with you again... I hope from the bottom of my heart!

    Wow, I can feel the loneliness and sadness and feeling of suspension in this poem... Lovely use of italics, they emphasize the message, and not one word is wasted. Very touching and beautiful.

    This is both sad and beautiful.
    The heart aching, the longing and the love you show here in such a tender way, make this poem sound as a soft song.
    So nice to see you posting again

    How I've missed your poetry...
    your presence. Those first two lines alone
    made me shiver.
    Stunning sweetie.

    "waiting

    Sighhh...Yeahhh...what Nic said, I second. Gorgeous. I'm so pleased to read your words again, Robin...even the melancholy ones. He'll be home soon, Sweetie. How could he stay away for long? Wanda

    Wow! I like the hush sound of this poem. The voice missing someone loved is very well said in this piece.

    Excellent, as always.


    Keep sharing your gift.

    Ooooh, Robin!! Only real love can make one ache like this - I know, I know, my liewe vriendin. I am SO delighted to see you writing again... you have NO idea HOW!!! I understand this one so very well...it's only the big loves that move us to miss someone this much and to express it as beautifully as you did here.

    Hope your sweetheart makes your heart run wild and loose soon again, my friend. Love you

    ~ Nicolette
