Connected

Author: gnj4u

Connected to pain.
Connected to loss.
Connected to sadness.
Connected to words that bind.
Disconnected from you.

There is so much Pain and so little of Joy in what you are saying in this poem. Remember, you wrote once:

"If my world were to end today,
I would like to have given you a call.
I would love to have given you a hug and kiss
To tell you how much I love you."

I don't even know why I went back to this stanza ... maybe because of its spirit being closer to my heart. Separation is the worst thing that can ever happen to us. Better days will be coming, cheer up.

"If my world were to end today,
I would like to have given you a call.
I would love to have given you a hug and kiss
To tell you how much I love you."

Hi, agoodguy2have, niah9, marikia, thesunandthesea, jvaski, hedistuff, SUMMIT09, Earlgreytea, Ladybee42, and serpico12,

Hello, Friend. I have to write you here. I had been trying to get in touch with you since December. Thank you for the christmas greetings you sent. I was trying to send you a card but my computer is reading so slow...took me hours til it was cut off.
I have been traveling lately. I miss everyone here. I just dropped by to read your poems. I will keep in touch.

YsabelWarrenville, Illinois USAFeb 3, 2011

Friend, your poem aptly describes the feelings I have for my estranged husband whom I just met in the mall with his girlfriend---her arm around him, but he was evading me. However, I feel disconnected "even to words that bind".

jazzy75Houston, Texas USAFeb 3, 2011

when one becomes caught up in the cycle....they are not free to awaken to the truth. your poem is thought provoking and has made me realize a connection i didn't perceive before....thanks my friend. blessings to you

Perhaps better said "When we allow our pain, loss, sadness, and words to define us, we disconnect from our true selves, and accordingly from others

gnj4uOPBoston, Massachusetts USAFeb 3, 2011

Hi, paloma66, Ysabel, jazzy75 and beautifulyou,
Thank you for both the personal greetings and the comments about my jazzy-sized poem. I do feel connected to each of you and happy that you connected to my write, each in your own unique way! paloma66, your spirit is a gift to us all. jazzy75 and beautifulyou, I love that you "hear" with open eyes, ears, mind and heart. Thank you for sharing your insights. Ysabel, I am sorry that from your encounter you "feel disconnected "even to words that bind"" but it's good to hear from you again!

I felt the tugging on my soul as I read your poem. And then I read your comment about spring coming soon. And we start anew. I love spring.

Very direct and strong emotions.
Compressed.
