only a body that has tasted love

only a body that has tasted love

will be able to share

its tender poetry

perhaps that is why

so often my poems lie

fallow

like my body did

today you said

in a poem

flesh forgets nothing

but for it never to have been

touched tenderly

for it only to have been torn apart

by injuries

that many times

severed skin from flesh

well can anyone who had not

borne that burn

know the searing pain of it

or how it makes you become

fear?

so if I ran from your touch

if I held myself apart

that is why

if my body often spasmed at night

could not surrender itself easily

to love or sleep

that is why

so for you to blame me as you did

God it hurt

For all along all I wished for

was to have that pain

recognized

met with a velvet touch

and a kiss

of love

"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.

    1. Thank you so much.. I do believe that even goes back to how we were not held or comforted as young babies or children.. I was born during the 1960s I do not know about you but not much affection was shown in a bodily way.. and often my body was hurt so that is triggered ( I now understand) in each new relationship.
      Thanks so much for your valuable feedback.
