Do you know I have searched for you my whole life?
Knew there was something missing, never knew until now.
You came into my life, I felt you, I knew you were the one.
It was meant to be this bond between us
my life is complete now that I’ve found you.
So many wonderful memories I have of the times
we shared together, the energies we sent to each other
surpassed anything I had ever felt before.
If you called me I heard you, came to your aid
Just had to think your name, the energy would rise.
I wasn’t the only one, for you there were others
who took up your time.
You drifted from me, you took away the energy
Leaving me feeling so alone and empty inside.
Others needed you, I understood that
You did not know how much your words hurt
when you talked of others with love in your voice
you never knew the pain you caused,
I felt the wrenching in my heart.
I will never leave you, we are as one
There’s no turning back, for I am home.
Home where I belong.

awesomeness!
thats sad, but its so great.. so precious from your heart.. we are search for someone.. and wait for the day we may find them.. and when we do.. we dont know if they're the one we've been searching for or not, but we eventually we know its them .. especially when they mean so much to us.. -
Very strong emotions you are talking about here. It is difficult to be strong and patient when the person you love is still not ready.

The one... the one wait for... find even though we weren't searching. Bond to, instantly, afraid to look away, afraid even to blink, in fear that they wont be there. If this be a dream then let me sleep forever. very emotional write. I truly enjoyed it.

You finally found that special someone and it seems like you were searching your whole life to find them. And although you weren't with them from the beginning, you two found each other and that's just what you want.
You really show the struggle there is to find that special someone.
Great write. -
Excellent
This is a beautifully written poem of enduring love that lasts forever.
-
The emotions that flow from your words are powerful enough to send one drifting on a cloud. The visual affects are awesome. I am slowly going through your poems since I have heard so many wonderful things about you, but it's very time consuming. However, I am working my way through, slow but sure. Give me time!

This piece is so beautiful, and serene...it gives me the feeling that you are either talking to God, or an angel sent by the man upstairs. I happen to believe that not all angels are invisible...some are put into human bodies, to serve and protect.
This is what I see you as, and not just because of that picture! Feelings of love burst forth from this piece...and it does appear that you have truly found home in someone's arms. I hope that it can be the same way for me, one day.
Many blessings,
Raven Aurora

Thank you Sonia for dropping by I really appreciate it when folks drop by am glad you like it~angelica
-
I have such a huge faves list I rarely get time to scour through the work of others...picked your name out at random as I do on occasion so here I am...
The emotional content of this comes across in such a strong way
and invites the reader into the inner sphere of pain...I hope this proved cathartic for you...sometimes we can wait what seems a lifetime to find one who constitutes a soulmate...
Enjoyed

-
What a fantastic poem and must have gone very close to the gold here. Again it is that wonderful ability to make the reader feel like a better person by the time they have finished reading. What a gift!
Congrats
David -
Glad you enjoyed the story. I do have a few of those, but I find them much more difficult to write. Congratulations on this well-deserved trophy winner. It's amazing how you manage to make this sound mature and indepth without using a single difficult word. Ok, what's the secret
This just made me think a lot because I'm sure I've made plenty of people feel this way. Then again, I write enough "guilt poems" as it is, so I think I'll stop this word flow in its tracks! I'm really glad I met you. You're a very talented poet and a good friend.
-

Soothing
Hello fellow aussie and joan,
I popped in to say hi and I see how many poems you have written...wow! Heaps! This one is especially lovely , honest and insightful. Enjoyed reading your soothing words.
Smiles,
Joan -
sometimes we find that love and can never let it go, that's reality. Those emotions are strong and take a stronghold in our lives. This is beautiful, and the wonders of love will ease the pain of loss, and memories, fond and true will always remain. This is exquisite! I thouroughly enjoyed reading this beautiful poem Joan. You have a way of sharing your emotions, unbridled. I feel you all the way over here! Just great! Good luck with the contest!
Always,
Renee 
-
Emotional and powerful!
Joan,
Very emotional and powerful... I understand. It is sad when that happens. People come and go in our lives, but the ones we love most will always be in our hearts and souls. Feelings may not feel the same anymore (one might move on), but talking is the source. I feel your emotions, so strong and force. Hope things will be okay for you now. People need to hear these words to understand what is happening even if they do not know or accept it. Well written.
GOOD LUCK IN THE CONTEST!!!!
Writing is good for the heart and soul.
Sincerely,
Nelak
BRAVO, JOAN!!!!!!!!!
-
very nice
Love peeps thro' one's life only once and it remains for ever! "You did not know how much your words hurt
when you talked of others with love in your voice" This is how every woman feels in moments of feeling lonely when sad thoughts surround her! It is only temporary if she enjoys true love !Nice write about dedicated love dear Joan! -
Good. good. Very good! This is the kind of stuff im looking for. Good luck!
