awesome poem that i relate to very much so ...

"I watch you staring into your dreams
Where they lead
I may never know

But I do know I am around you
Applauding
As I watch you bleed"

from "Watching You Bleed"

Tremendous, Susan!! The re-awakening of love is such a frisson and yet also such a sharp pain as well, rekindling our blueprinted memory of our experience of love as we have known it before. Beautiful poetry... I can never get over how you achieve so much in such short lines and in your inimitable dense and compacted style... whilst yet maintaining such delicious rhythm and flow. Truly lyrical and classically epic this is. A wonderful moment to savour when past, present and hope for the future are brought together in one inner Big Bang of realisation. All of life and love flashes before the eyes here. Longingly lovely. TY Kate xx

Once a heart has been hurt the scar remains. And yes, from that moment on the soul begins to question, sort and seperate the ideas of what true is and what true love is not. How else do we learn unless we question and measure?

Because you are there. The sea of moods includes longing, and you can't hold back its constant washing on your shore.

What a searching and asking poem. A poem full of hope and wonder and mystery, which added together make for one hell of a premise for a poem a short story, even a novel. Damn! Liked this one.

Susan
These are the inponderables and mysteries of love...
As the Good Lord says to his faithful and suffering servant
" My Grace is Sufficient for Thee "...
Love and Blessings
