The melancholy elicited by your wondrous verses bring tears to my eyes and a yearning to bring healing in my soul, Chanti. I would love to say so much more. Love.

Chanti--you have captured in verse what so many of experience when we dare to stick our teo in the river of love. Nicely done...~Darkbard~

Chanti...this is a very touching write and the images bring to life this magnificent feast of poetry...Fletcher B

You looked for her in countless different places
You saw a whisper here and there
Love elusive as the mist in the valley
Beyond your grasp
A vapour lost....


Extremely profound.

And poignant...

A scarred heart is what you wind up with,
but you still go on searching and why not?
Great write! Brava!

Captivating write, Chanti, and something many can relate to.

Well Done.

Most outstanding and hits home way to close for comfort Chanti!!

Thanks for sharing this Very emotive and bittersweet poetic Piece!!

Love Tinka

This one is excellent Chanti.
You captured this so well. We cannot let go and, instead of going on in our lifes, spend them with searching for something that will never excist anymore the way we used to have it.
We should learn our lesson and move on.

I'll have what Thomas is smoking! LOL/ love is found in some very strange places.

Chanti, this is an exceptionally well-written thought-provoking write, Poet. The open ended statement attached above lead me to really search out my inner most thoughts, which has resulted in my statement I feel I need to address this powerful piece. Poet, I believe when one truly feels in their heart they found their soul mate, but then unfortunately something unforeseen happens and that relationship is no longer a viable option for whatever reason, I would think when one felt comfortable enough, hopefully will begin the process again, and should search the world over if necessary, in their quest to find someone with the similar qualities. After all my friend, the one searching knows what inspired them in the first place. Yet, no one can ever replace that person. But, I also believe true love and harmony can be found again. Also if one is able, they’ll do what is necessary to fulfill that aspiration. But, that and seventy-five cents will buy your friend a small cup of coffee, and do I hope they find what they’re looking for. Tell your friend, my friend, NEVER SURRENDER! For without the hope of finding someone worthy, why bother sticking around to watch the end of the big show! Absolutely brilliant composition and artwork, Poet! Thank you for sharing your timeless creations. Take care my friend.

excellent poetry Chanti.

beautifully penned ...

Simply beautiful, Chanti...and the graphic is ideal for
the thoughts expressed here.
Yes...all of us seem to have this flaw at times...don't we?
And the sad part is, that while we are searching for that
special someone, the wrong ones come in and take advantage.

the passionate heart always searches for the touch of the one who first ingnited the flame within his being

Love is a two way contract or nothing at all Chanti
Very true write....

Dearest Chanti,

I know that we talk on a daily basis, and like you have said on some occasions, of not needing to comment ~~~ But I know you will understand the reasons why I was drawn to this one in particular!!!

This one truly cuts like a knife, aahh the bitter sweet!! two lines that really touch me:

"An indigo hue has turned to violet
From a rose tint, then to blue"

Thanks for posting this Chants, an exquisite write, and a very notable point.

Much love my precious friend
Elga :(
