THE POEM:

So here, we are
we dance here alone

Safely holding those old pieces of you
hidden deeply, beneath my breasts

those original golden threads
we spun together

still form a very unique tapestry
those incredible sparks we ignited

are still a blazing fire
we still do tend

deep within my heart
your magic, it still lives on in there

it is all, that you are, to me
it is all, that, we are

it is there, in that place
that we come to celebrate, YOU

it is there, in that place
that we come to embrace, YOU

for there lives,
in that special place

where two essences still show up,
to remember

they still meet each other
in their dream time, to dance

if only, for a few brief moments
we can still feel, we can still touch

for that essence of you,
is a part of me

that still shines forever,
it still shines bright

it is here, in this place
we can feel you, we can touch you

just, as if, it is,
still all real

here you are, we know it,
we can feel it

For you dance on,
deep within me

these pieces of
your Great Spirit given light

it is the place,
that we escape to

it is the place,
of out great retreat

To Dance, To Dream
To Create, To Realizse

That another time is coming
That day, we will re - meet

Love, Susan

SUMMARY:

You, asked me,
"how do you make love stay?"

Rope...
you give them plenty of rope,
and, hope they do NOT hang themselves

you allow, them, to be them
and, they allow, you, to be you
and, if per chance,
you find each other
all is, as, all can be,
wUnder_FULL again

there's a tree outside my front door
it's there for a reason
i hang, all my troubles, out there
i do NOT bring them inside

i give, the best, i can
all of me, and, hold nothing back

i eXchange, only, with those
who are ready, willing, and, able
to do, the same, sort of thing

i love, always, and, in all ways
the best i can
it is NEVER a requirement
they love me back

i do NOT believe in unconditional love
especially, in a 3D world
everything in lower vibrations
has conditions

low energetic exchange-is dismissed

high energetic exchange-is welcomed

if someone treats me poorly
it is NOT necessary to love them
it is necessary only
to release, and, forgive them
and, let them go
to, send them some energy
that points them
in the direction of
good light and pure love

i am a deep well,
but, NOT one,
that will be drained.

i strive to create good conditions,
that express love, in it's totality

i look for another,
who is already doing the same thing

i give space, and, i expect space

i let another be, authentically them, i do NOT change others

i expect another, to let me be, authentically, be me

i respect the free_will of choice

i am open the change

living in love, with love
is win-win, and
appreciation, caring, kindness, and, thoughtfulness
are the 4 pillars, that hold it ALL up

i give willingly, and
share what i can
within reason
yes, i do utilise my mind, as, well, as, my heart

i do NOT look for a "free_ride"
nor, do i expect a "free_ride"...
free, oft times,
has the highest of hidden cost
i invest into the things i do,
by giving it, the best i can

i look for someone
who can be the driver
and, be the passenger too
it gets tiring
being only, the driver

i look into the mirrors
that are presented to me
and, see, very deeply
what they show me

i look very deeply into the eyes
that are presented to me
and, see, that they have a heart
and, it is already, at home

where, i see, no heart
i try to help them see mine

i look deeply, to find, the golden strings
the threads of connection
the ones
that once before
a long time ago
where a stitch in many times
are part of a grand tapestry
we wove together before
and, realise, it is possible
to pick up the strings
exactly, where we left of
and, we do it
together, in love

i push only, when two people
are pushing on the same side
or, are on the same direction

i pull only, my share, of any load

i expect another,
will pull, their share

albeit, there will be times

when, i do all the pulling

and, there will, be times

they do all the pulling

but, it is those times
they will do, or, i will do
because, we are doing it
in love -- and, the other
truly needs us, and
both of us, are in our hearts

perhaps, that's compassionate love
the knowing, that, at all times
it is NOT possible, for another
to bring equal measures

I search for a banquet
hoping, we do NOT bring,
all the same things to the table
that there will be living, loving, and, learning- expansion/and, growth

i believe, a life shared
is never halved, but it doubles

i get up expecting a good day
and, generally get it

i do nice things for others
willing to put, their needs, and, desires
ahead of my own, however, i am NOT anyone else's fool
albeit, i am a silly old fool, who understands that journey, quite well

i avoid people, full of "wants"...
if they can NOT handle their own life
i know, it will become me
playing a baby_sitter

needs must be met
& desires fulfilled
those who want stuff
those who need you, only to fill,
their desires
and, once, you do, they are gone
i avoid those people

To live a happy, and, joyful life...
it is only important
that needs are met
and, desires are fulfilled
and, that leaves NOTHING to want for

i love to surprise people
i am NOT big
on giving, on giving days
as, i believe, everyday
is a day to give

i do NOT give to get, nor, expect to get
so, i am rarely let down

if someone takes, and, leaves
i bless that moment
for in it, the taking, is stopped
the draining, is NO more
sure, i count my losses
calculate & learn from my lesson
and, let it go --
I release it, and, forgive it
and, be thankful
it is less draining NOW
that it has stopped
and, it is good
since, it can exist NO more
and, i celebrate my freedom

i send things,

that make them "hOWL" with laughter

or....make them curious
or....make them happy
or....make them ponder/or think

actually, in truth; i send them things
that are reflective of me,
and, my world

in one line --

it is, to be, and, reflect me,
as, best i can

and, if, per_chance

they see me, as, i truly am
then, all, will be, as, all should be

together
the two of us
will always be more, rather than, ever be less

together
the two of us
might weave golden strings
through the higher mind & higher heart of one another
so, that, when we do show up
they will know, and, i will know
they will see, and, i will see
and, they will sense me, and, i will sense them
deep inside
that we both will know
who we are, and, be glad
that we have returned
to pick up the threads

Perhaps, then,
The Dance with Sadness,
will truly come to its end.
where the pain, of starting again,
is less, than, the memory
of the pain involved, in the last separation

Perhaps...my most clever line to your
question, could be summed up this way:

how do you make love stay ???

true love, never leaves us
it is the dance, we do
that old dance
The Dance of Sadness
it's deep inside
it's magical
it's the old memories
of what once was
and, already is
it always has been there
buried under the pain
of the last parting
trouble is
that the "pain" of "re_starting"
is, often, more painful
than, when the original dance
came to an end.

And yet, it is a risk
we must take....
we do this, to be that
and, to have, it all again ...

it is,
that love,
that stays with us forever
