A deeply personal and painful write, Dawn. Life need not pass you by because someone was not wise enough to value your love. You are more beautiful for having had the heart to love someone who was incapable of loving you in return. Step back and watch them march to the drumbeat that they have chosen and weep only for the emptiness within their soul for not knowing the joy of giving and accepting love. Freedom is a double edged sword, on one side it can leave us walking alone but on the other side, it leaves us open to find a true love and welcome it into our world that was already compete without it. Beautiful poetry!
Take care,
Sherry
Ah, the treasure is within your heart, Gwen. Tarnished in the air of day, there it glistens and always will-adding to the beauty of your soul. So brilliantly captured and expressed!
So much couched in the straightforwardness of your diction here, Dawn. Yet complex ideas of the exchange of intimacy and distance and the interchange between inner and outer worlds form the skeletal framework supporting this well-executed piece. Very poignant penultimate stanza and I like your use of end rhymes here which sets it slightly apart from the rest and introduces the turn. As are all your writes, this is powerful and doesn't shy away from the deep emotional and psychological issues. TY and bless you, Kate xx
