Hi Peter,

Oh some words will always remain unspoken to some of us my friend,to some it means heartache to some survival...but to those with love in their hearts a forever sacred secret that will make them walk tall but without a smile upon their faces forever!!
This reminded me of the moment I walked my daughter down the isle on saterday at the Arnot Towers...lawn also been cut in lines....and me the only one without my soulmate in armlenght away from me...but walked tall and showed a brave smile so no one could see my soul!!

Hey even went right up the highlands of Scotland to find the Loch Ness monster to dragggg me away...but no damn luck their either!!And came back down your way yesterday and if I knew your addy I mighta popped in for a coffee....and too far away from PAUL's either.....grrrr....but....oh well thats how it goes!!
I am flying back to hell again today.Dee you all from back home in South Africa.....chiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwbyeeeeeee!!
Thanks for sharing this deeply touched piece my friend!!

Love Tinka

The world of what ifs and might have beens...
sometimes overwhelms us. But your beautiful words
have captured it. Excellent work, Peter!

"The Unspoken Word" has said it in full, inspiration and devotion mingle, and this poetic grand is delivered.

Thank You for sharing Your art and jewels.

Long healthy creative life.

a heightened tale of love and revelation ...

Contemplative bliss...

Ah Peter, true love is unutterable in earthened languages. And trying to explain the vastness of love is like trying to eat speghetti with only a spoon. lol... we only get a noodle or two then it slips back off onto the plate... :D and then we have to plow back into our plates again hoping for a bigger bite than the last... call me crazy but its one of the best analogies I could think of... :)

What a powerful revelation that last line is Peter! Any other way than God intended could certainly be construed as a game that can lead to dire consequences.

It's ironic how we've been given such powerful feelings to paint our canvases with, and then we were commanded to control them.

I imagine all of us have failed at least once!

For me, well . . . . . . . . . .

Great job brother!

Your musings tend to come directly from your soul and passing through the heart offer a note of love to all who chose to read them. Well done

So from the heart and soul this is... unique thoughts expressed in such a tangible way and couched in the scenery that we all can relate to. In the matrix of life, how we all "fit and connect" together at the moments of our lives' crossing serves its own very special purpose, I am sure, and carries on with us ever more, compounding us into the peeps we are today. But interesting... do their thoughts cross with ours at the same time though eons apart, if we have had that extra-special bond? Fascinating, thank you. LOL Kate xx

A wonderful poem filled with so much harmony and love!

Such a familiar path Peter...filled with images of yesterdays and even tomorrows. I could smell the cleanness of the freshly mowed grass and hear the gravel under your feet. I may have managed to share a smile and even a tear on this walk with you.But it was your finaly words that have left me thinking. Now this is "exquisite".

Wonderful write, Peter; very well done! BRAVO!

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

You gave this poem a perfect setting, Peter, within nature. ~~Nordette

Beautiful! I think our ruminations on past loves are tugs to joggle our souls. Did we learn what we had to from each unique relationship?
Is there a current relationship that may be affected for the same reasons? Some relationships are there for learning a specific lesson and fade with growth. Some burn in the heart for life. The deeper the lesson, the deeper the imprint I suppose. Love the Omar Khayyam quote...

We are delivered to the buffet and told to eat as we wish. There are many choices but with any luck at all we will pick that which not only appeals to our palate but also to our health and well being. Very beautiful poem, Peter!
Take care,
Sherry

I suppose it's true, Sir Paton...mayhaps, because love shouldn't be played...as a game? Nonetheless, you seem to be the Heartthrob of the Den, so you must glean some solace from all the feminine accolades you get here - right, ladies? - and I, am among those who think so! Pain is a poet's dearest friend...in solitude. I blow you a kiss, to heal your aching heart, Peter. love ~ rhonda

In the game of love we all stand a semblance of a chance when chance itself has more control than our desire at that moment. We dive in to see how deep are the waters and sometime we end up treading water for life and other times we roll over on our backs and float along with satisfaction. It's all chance in the long run isn't it?

Wow
Peter.....just wow!
This is so universal, the wonderding
At times I find myself thinking of someone from YEARS ago.....and always wondered why a certain person and circumstance would pop into my mind......
But then I thought
maybe
just maybe

that person was thinking of me at that very moment, and I picked up the vibes!!!

And there have been times when that person somehow crossed paths with me again from out of the blue

Always a delightful suprise!!!

lol
so far!!!

((((Peter ))) we both must be on the same page. I too ponder the, what if's, what would have been, do they think of me, always, the many, many we had.It will always as long as we are carnal in body form, we will always have that rememberance.Bitter sweet.. Like you said, some things are not meant to happen.Some things are only ordained in Heaven. God, so true. And the imagery you paint is breathless. Your heart guides your quill..

Love & Light, Dove

"The Unspoken Word," spoke mightily if you must know the truth.

As the Bible says a good wife is a blessing to the husband.

Peter this one moved me to tears of joy! So exquisitely written and one that so many of us can relate to,only you have the beautiful words at your command! Thank you!
