Dormant
----------------------------------------Restless heart untamed and jaded Cannot find what's not created Searching wide for the uncertain Cannot see beyond the curtain Suddenly without warning Overnight a new day dawning Inward self combines with reason Heart's discord seems out of season Like the tide on tip-toe creeping Quietly love wakes from sleeping |

Beverly, this is very educating for me
----------------------------------------I like all I read here - nap I sense the moon over Idaho's Sawtooth Mountains. Beverly, the little pick-me-ups are comforting, inspiring and supporting and touches me deeply:
Sometimes in a relationship, trying to merge body and soul, there's a tendency to lose self-identity. When those circumstances change, re-discovery is paramount to survival. Love lost or gained are major motivations for poetic expression. Say, where did you learn all that - poem writing and human insight? Have you studied or are you selftaught? - or were you just born that way?  Seduction by Violin & Dormant - I never read poetry to amount to anything before and these just swoop right into my heart Pull back I yearn I pull back I crave I pull back I melt I pull back Were it not for those hands I would be able to use my brain But I dissolve in something hitherto unkown I smile I close my eyes and smile - and thank the love gods and Pfizer  [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jun 18, 2011 6:53:14 PM] |

Guess I was born that way
---------------------------------------- (ahem-nothing to do with Lady Gaga) but life experiences help a lot."thank the love gods and Pfizer " ... lol ... humor helps get us through the best and worst of times  ... don't you agree?A Caution to Everybody by Ogden Nash Consider the auk; Becoming extinct because he forgot how to fly, and could only walk. Consider man, who may well become extinct Because he forgot how to walk and learned how to fly before he thinked. |

Life experience helps a lot, yes. Yours has been put to better use than mine.
----------------------------------------Some day I should like to know about what shaped you with regards to that life experience. BTW: Where are you from, Beverly? Yup, that might just be the end of us: Forgot how to walk and began to fly before we thinked .... Another Grook by Piet Hein: THE PARADOX OF LIFE A bit beyond perception's reach I sometimes believe I see that Life is two locked boxes, each containing the other's key.

That last poem reminded me of this one:
----------------------------------------God's Boxes by Arielle Perkins I have in my hands two boxes, Which God gave me to hold. He said, “Put all your sorrows in the black box, And all your joys in the gold.” I heeded His words, and in the two boxes, Both my joys and sorrows I stored, But though the gold became heavier each day, The black was as light as before. With curiosity, I opened the black, I wanted to find out why, And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole, Which my sorrows had fallen out by. I showed the hole to God, and mused, “I wonder where my sorrows could be!” He smiled a gentle smile and said, “My child, they’re all here with me.” I asked God, why He gave me the boxes, Why the gold and the black with the hole? “My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, The black is for you to let go.” |

Promise Me
You see that i am sacred to a world so untrue, and whenever i think of hope automatically think of you You see that i am strong yet underneath a little scared, because whenever you say something cruel i am totally unprepared I don't expect the worst coming out of something good, because whenever i had a problem you cared and understood.... although once in a while your not entirely there, deep inside my heart i know you really care I have to make myself believe that as a human being, because without you here with me lonely isn't the right meaning, lonely would only describe just one little part.... the other is painful emotions from my broken heart So despite my unruly temper, my heart won't make a sound, as long as you promise me your going to stay around.

"Promise Me", an emotional reach-out, elicits assurance from a beloved while expressing personal needs.
----------------------------------------Openness of heart can be a source of great love and great pain. Thanks for sharing, dliw - hope to hear from you again soon. :) [edit: sp] ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by bjbdbest at Jun 15, 2011 5:08:07 PM] |

The Giggle of a Child
The giggle of a child unforced, unsought, innocent a sacred sound more pure than the perfect tone happily contagious spiritually pleasing the savior of the soul sorrowfully fleeting sweet merriment fettered with time experience dulling of twinkling eyes as life takes joy from simply being but for simple moments like the sight of butterflies floating on a warm summer breeze suddenly there in serenity even as we aged be the giggle of a child enraptures the heart © 2011, Kimberly Frankenfield |

Delightful! There is nothing more contagious and uplifting then the laughter of a child.
---------------------------------------- Hush-a-by my little one 'Neath mobile clouds and whispering leaves Sleep soundly for day is done The sighing wind no longer grieves. Rest my dear, sweet precious child As summer's hand a pattern weaves Yesterdays are only fun in your Magic Land of make believe. |
