Almost There

She denied stealing
his heart;
she was correct.
She disguised it
with her deceit.
He no longer
recognized it himself,
giving it to her
that very moment, and

taking it from me...

Like the sands
in an hour glass,
time slowed down
for me,
moving ever so deliberately,
grain after grain


finally stopping...


My soul became dormant,
my spirit debilitated.
The face of anguish
became my own,
a body of deprivation
now the core of my essence.
A portion of me
was still there,
crumbling away
piece by piece;
the other half
now belonging to her

yet...

not to him...

Pain turned into faith,
in me, for him, us.
Never did I stop believing,
knowing, and  praying
we would reunite.
Patience became my assailant,
hovering over me
like a symphony
without a song to play

frustrated...

What we shared together
was too stable to be removed
by anothers falseness,
and indemnity
He began looking at her
and seeing me,
holding her
wishing it be me.
Dreaming of me

only...

Soon we will be
united again, forever,
the end of a lonesome nightmare,
the beginning of
a second chance,
another life
with you

I miss you, my love...

can you hear me ?...

  • "can you hear me?..."

    Quite clearly, yet with many questions and desire burning brightly within.

    I'm getting so lost, again, just this time with a profound sense of what home is.......

    Languid,

    ~ ~ Janet ~ ~

    There are those who would attempt to steal the only gift that truly matters, being someone's love. They would not value its measure, in any sense. I think when people try to take another's heart, it's from envy and a lack of knowledge in how to achieve their own happiness, in many respects. I see this is another dedication poem and its subject was quite moved by your gesture of comfort. Well done, Poet.

    It is not easy to remove yourself from yourself and become another person. To imagine their pain, and then to express it for them in a way that makes one believe that they are reading their words. Very, very well done. Rose.

      I feel your relief...only thanks I need

      John...your brother..your friend.your pal

  • Okay don't panic when you read this first bit okay....

    This is kind of eerie... lol

    I said don't panic... now why did you panic? Geesh you never listen! Just let me finish okay? Naw seriously, it is only eerie because Nyetta and I have been long time friends so I know the situation she is going through and I also know you! It is only eerie because I know YOU wrote this... lmbo ( and of course you are not involved in that situation... now do you get the eeriness of it?)

    Actually the poem itself is very beautiful and speaks the language of love.

    Nyetta will love it, I am sure

    Suzi
