DELETED
A VERSE TO MY DARLING LOST
Drifting through emptiness the silk of nothingness prevails,
A jasmine scent beneath tall violet trees,
Am I dreaming; yet should I awake, know that I am dreaming,
What is this world to me now in its garbage cape of illusion. Staring back as I walk through it untouched by its suffocating possessiveness,
Where is my love now among chaos that never touched her soul. Her spirit. Her very being,
And when I taste her sweetness do I smell the scent of a single rose I gave at Christmas tide.
Love and Light

At the end of all our journeying will be to find ourselves back where we started knowing the place for the first time. TS ELIOT.
I absolutely love your poem Darkhorse123

What wonderful words Val [ Darkhorse] they are so fitting for all of us.. xxxx
We could never sever.
We could never break.
The connection, though stretched beyond life, is still there.
Almost beyond my endurance, it endures.
The steel cable of our love is now a cobweb thread, and the moths of memories tangle in it.
Fluttering wildly, they bring the spiders of darkness to devour them.
On the surface, I am the same.
No one sees that every other layer is removed, and I am diminished.
MY HEART CAN'T SAY GOODBYE
You knew it, and I also knew it
That we were going our separate ways
You far away from me
But be close in my memories
All the happiness was lost
Just this sorrow remained
I tried to understand it
I tried to bargain with it
This heart just could accept it
It could not accept it
Were these eyes or embers?
It felt like fire was burning in my eyes
The seasons were changing
Just this season of pain remained
The wound of sorrow is deep
It felt like my heart was full of lead bullets
This heart was no longer buoyant
Being weighed down with a tidal of emotions
It will take years to heal
It will take years to heal, if ever
Who knows what is going to happen?
And how much more one is supposed to endure?
How well the scars will heal, if ever?
I just wish I never had to say goodbye x
With lots of love, Dutsie x
Hi Val,
I am forever grateful for you starting this post. It really has given me a positive outlet. I identity with so many of your words and others here. It can be very healing/evoking emotions, that you just need a cry!
I am sorry to hear that you have not been well and were absent from here for a little while, understandably. You were missed. Just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate this connection and would give you big hug if I could.
So sending you a virtual hug instead and lots of love,
Dutsie Xx
