This is truly a devastating turn for a heart that beats profoundly in the night...there is very little relief but what is offered by the passing of time. I am glad this is no longer an event you go through and have warmed instead to the light.
Love & Light

Hi Tinka, I can relate to this one 100%! You have accurately expressed the depths of pain and sadness of someone who no longer finds contentment and happiness in a relationship. And I am glad that you have moved on beautifully. Thank you for sharing.

Be well,
Sheri

Gut-wrenching, Tinks. But so real. I am sorry for this pain. Your lines are beautiful and brave. And full of stout-hearted resiliance, too. I am so glad you got through this. This poem shows how and why: "The will to smile" is part of who and what you are and how it is that you remain so. You rock! Love, Kate xx

That just poured out like a broken salt-shaker all over this page, didn't it? Middle of the nights eventually lighten into day, like yours did. I'm glad. Take care. --Charlie

There are some words that evoke some familiar feeling. Sadly familiar.

You wrote this with the words and energy of despair. I am glad you could come out of this. I hope that I will soon.

Sometimes life can seem overwhelming. Your words prior to the poem remind me of the French proverb: Apr�s la pluie, le beau temps" which translates as: "After the rain, the good weather." Love and best wishes to you, TinkaSweets,

Tinks, you write so poignantly about such a sensitive subject. I'd love you to take a look at a friend's site called 'Abuse is no Excuse' and maybe join the forum. You'd have so much insight to offer. The link is: http://www.abuseisnoexcuse.co.za/

Take care and be happy...

In the shadows of night so many of our sorrow comes out for a breath of fresh air. During the days we attempt to keep them hid but night is their bewitching hour and when we are haunted this is when they come out for tea,

Love your poetry Tinks and it makes me prsy harder for your release.

I am glad that the dark times are behind you now, Tinka, we do worry about you when you write such dark poetry! However I can understand: it is hard to forget all that one has gone through when they've been abused as you have, and I am sorry you had to endure this hell. Very well penned; brava! Keep writing; it will help you in the long run!!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in America, Karen Lynn in Texas. :(
