I am moving into this empty feeling… On this dark cloud of remembrance Emotions too damn intense to inspire verse I came upon the contest of loving thoughts As butterflies struggle in my naked chest tonight Oh!! So painful…so bitterly raw Trying to escape from deep within The pinching pain of hurt and remembering It crushed my heart by “loving” It stole my spirit And splattered the contents of my soul Perfecting the torture… of true love I tripped and stumbled along my way Trying to be a perfect woman Helped in every way I could I almost overcame the fear of tomorrow Appreciating the sacrifices made Now caught between the ocean And the vision from afar I came upon the contest of my heart Knowing the distance between us so very wide I am moving in this darkness On this dark cloud of remembering Emotions way too intense to inspire happy verse This poem the contest of loving thoughts Became my biggest nightmare Remembering now…everything I was told The biggest lie ever…just remember this Life crushed my heart And stole my soul

"caught between the ocean
And the vision from afar
I came upon the contest of my heart"
These lines are stunning in their beauty, Tinka and standing alone set the tone of the entire poem. Poetic in the most pure and perfect way your poem is excellent. Nice to hear your voice, also.
Take care,
Sherry
Expresses excellently the path of pain of unrequited love, a journey most hope they will not have to take. But those who do travel, have an added dimension to an already complex soul. Enjoyed your read which adds punch to the pain. R
The image and the verses complement one another most effectively, TinkaSweets. It is also a pleasure to hear your voice. Thank you. Love and peace to you,
Regis

Poor Tinka. To live a lie is torture and sometimes there's nothing you can do about it. But hope reigns eternal. Someday we will all be happy. Victor
Beautiful image Tinks - reminds me of Cytherea in the edifice of the gods.
Life may have crushed your heart sissy, and stole your soul, but these experiences have helped make you the loving, hopeful, and insightful writer, and human being that you are. Making sense of so much that makes no sense is one of your fortes as a writer.
A finely moving piece that is laced with the spirit of hope.
BEAUTIFUL RECITATION, TINKS!!!! Well done - brings the words and emotions alive... PLEASE do this more often! Poetry is MEANT to be heard. So powerful. We are -ish,-ish on the same page, kinda... A crucible write. LOL K xx
A haunting poem of love and disillusionment, Tinka. How well I relate ... this is sad, but so well done that I have to applaud you in baring your innermost feelings so perfectly in verse.
Love and a hug of understanding,

My memories as an immigrant professional woman in Ottawa, Canada 47 years ago. A new life after having survived the liberal war of a new country Bangladesh on December 16, 1971.

I know you eventually will, Tinky, and I enjoyed listening to your poem. I also look forward to that happier write you speak of.
I love your word usage in this poem. Hopefully the storm will pass and the sun will shine once more.
