Weigh it for yourself.


Poem Artwork

To have sometimes comes easily
At times though it's not meant to be
But there it is and want or not
You're stuck between
To have/ To want

To want what you're not meant to have
Makes wanting it more attractive
Head in the noose feet dang'ling free
If cut loose run
To where'd should be

Learn from the gallows learn it well
The likenesses of heav'n and hell
Should you float or should you  sink low
Where is the line
Where do you go

Dont' ask me for I'm not the one
Who wants to stay or wants to run
Just ask yourself if you want this
Involving pain
Or life of bliss

Is bliss all that's it's cut out to
Be no stop I think more of you
Than to let you go down that road
To take on such
A heavy load

To have sometimes comes easily
Look what it's done to you and me
Head in the noose feet dang'ling free
Come to me now
To where'd should be

oh deliciously eerie whispers echo through
the vault of choices here Jane & very nicely
as the rope swings to & fro...

To have/to want, to want/to have, you juggle with the two and sometimes the one is in your hand and sometimes the other.

I hope it comes to you Jane but it if should be there, it will be.

We sometimes want what we do not have and that is human nature. The greatest gift of all is to appreciate what we have whole-heartedly and therein lies the peace.

I love this, Jane.

Love and Dreams,
Karen

I can relate to what you have shared through your verses here and it makes me realize that, after all that has happened in the last couple of months, I know less now that I did when it all began. Love and best wishes,

This poem seems very personal. And I can guess what you are trying to hold on to that may or may not happen. For your sake, I hope the last two lines are true.

I could just visualize a torch singer from the 1940's singing those words ... powerful!

To have/have not or.... to hold :)

Choices are scary at times, all we can do
is to decide what do we deserve...

Well done Jane, a thought provoking one when it
comes to sitting back where decisions must be made...

Love and Light

Quite a sweet-sour poem, Jane, to have/have not. You strike many chords close to the heart in this excellent poem. "Head in the noose feet dang'ling free," indeed.
