Poetry

Every heart

Poetry is sweet

But your body was sweeter

To taste with my skin

Deep within a place of wanting

As flesh on flesh

We opened and surrendered

To that silent poetry that lay within

And when you left

Poetry was all I had

To comfort my weary soul

 

Lost opportunities will

Not come again

But memories of the tender times we touched

Will sustain me on lonely nights

Memories of those golden magic moments

Where the promise of love

Let our souls open in hope

For just a while

Before hope shattered

On the rocks of cruel abandon

 

Hurt carved its agony traces on our soul

And when our hearts burned

With that slow dying fire

All that remaiened in the end

Were ashes

Lost embers of hollowed out wanting

Grown cold in the stark daylight

 

And yet

Deep within the empty spaces left

Poetry

Still remains

Gives shape to all of this

A many facetted symbol

Of comfort

Containing pain

Mute and bittersweet

Rolling in thunder clouds

Beneath my feet

"The religious naturalist is provisioned with tales of natural emergence that are, to my mind, far more magical than traditional miracles. Emergence is inherent in everything that is alive, allowing our yearning for supernatural miracles to be subsumed by our joy in the countless miracles that surround us." Ursula Goodenough How to describe oneself? People are a mystery and there is so much more to us than just our particular experiences or occupations. I could write down a list of attributes and they still might not paint a complete picture pf Deborah Louise and in any case it would not be the full truth of me. I would say that my purpose here on Wordpress is to express some of my random experiences, thoughts and feelings, to share about my particular journey and explore some subjects dear to my heart, such as emotional recovery, healing and astrology while posting up some of the prose/poems which are an outgrowth of my labours with life, love and relationships. If anything I write touches you I would be so pleased to hear for the purpose of reaching out and expressung ourselves is hopefully to connect with each other and find where our souls meet.

  3. There IS something to that quote “Better to have loved and lost . .”, but it doesn’t salve the melancholy if your memories proceed too far.

    This is a lovely piece, it describes that ache perfectly.

    Peace

I dont know if knowing the way I was hurt in that relationship I would have agreed to it all before but I was where I was at the time. And I learned a lot. So….. Thanks for the lovely feeback.
