"The Sad Reality of Love"

You came into my life like a puff of smoke out of nowhere.
You were not expected, nor did I think you existed.

But for some reason unbeknownst to me,
In a very short time you crept into the depths of my heart,
And buried yourself deeply into my awaiting flesh.

You latched onto the strings of my heart
And tenderly began to play with them.

There is a part of you that is a dreamer
who lives in a world of fantasy..
Where nothing is serious and pain does not exist.

But there is another part of you
that is so dear to me,

A warm caring sensitive part
that warms my heart.

A part whose searing, tender fingertips both
comfort me and make my blood boil.

A part whose arms bring me peace and safety..
joy and desire.

A part whose lips touching mine are like
the merging of two beings into one.

But there are times when I know not
who you are.

There are times when fear takes over
and I know not what you feel or what you think.

There have been times when I want you
to move out of my heart,
But only because the hurt of having you live there is unbearable.

But I fear that if you moved out
You would take my very heart with you,

And without my heart,
I would die.

Very strong feelings my friend.
Love is not sad, for when we are in love we live it.
The sad is that the other does not appreciate what he has.
Your love life will blossom again, those that love with intensity can love again. It is your choice.
Fear not the unbearable because time comes to pass and you life will get recharged.
You have been blessed being able to love; there are others out there that don't know about that extraudinary feeling, so take care of self and you are going to deserve better.hug hug

My heart's been broken more than once ~ but you're right, it always seem to heal itself...to a degree !
The scars never heal completely, but hopefully make us wiser...( sorta doubt that one...lol).

Thank you again for your kinds comments.

Pink,

Thank you again for your kind concern.

I haven't been on this sight for very long, but I'm so impressed and thankful for the support that has been shown to me!


We women are all stronger than we think we are.
We are all survivors.

Thank you so very much for your support.

Yes, I am fortunate to have been able to love...over...and over...and over again ~ throughout my life.

The pain can be intense when it does not go well; but the great joy that fills ones being when that love is returned, makes it all worth it.

Even though you may never read this, I just wanted to let you know that your arms are still a big part of my world.

Very well composed
a confession
autobiographical narrative in poetry
events vivid, very lively, gradually build up - every lover's story
piece by piece in peace beaded dexterously, weaving web of love, employing figures of speech like pun, alliteration, conceit reminding John Donne.

real heart felt feelings
in a great melodious, sensuous and pictorial style
like a true love bewitched never losing grip off the theme
imagery boom up blossoming - effects felt sentimentally

the two intertwined
the complains by the protagonist adds innocently to the authority
of genuine feelings.
The priorities weighed
math is done
whether to minus or keep to addition
votes for
addition

Ohhh thank you for the lovely composition
