Declaration of Love
Shall I confess, get whole thing off my chest,
Face ridicule at price, make a show of myself?!
Nothing much 'part from pain of this love did I gain,
Love unshared is hurting the years on end.
Much hurt at times brings relief from such pain,
If reopened some wounds better heal and close up,
And in spite of the hurt our health's soon regained,
When declaring love heavy load's off our mind.
I'll confess, that's decided, what will be will be,
For so many a time have I flopped, given way,
Gone on rocks, then from suffering found retreat,
Then resumed normal course, rose from ashes again.
My confession may bring either grief or relief,
It is all in a lifetime, it is one of those things.

Confiding in close friends is one think, broadcasting one's misery to the entire world is so undignified, and eventually becomes so tiresome to listeners.
I like this poem - you narrate your tale without recourse to self pity, and you avoid all the pitfalls I mention above.
A fine write
Bill

so well. Your spirit can't be out classed.
Rise from the ashes... Don't let life beat you down. Excellent poem marikia.
If reopened some wounds better heal and close up,"
Every circle must close itself. Always have been, always will be.
You close your lyrical circles beautiful way, Mari
I've been there many a times.
Thanks for sharing.
