Better

It's better
to know the tears inside me
that come from the pain of my own doing
than to feel the pain of the tears
that others bring upon me
with only the hope
of occasional laughter.

A hug to me
is far better than bliss
all for the warmth I miss
and not so much endeared to passion.

For love to me is wanton
yet hiding in the fear
of the consequences
of the uncertainty
of the outcome of my actions
and it's better sometimes
to leave it hidden.

I concur with your sentiments, Pierre. I love it when I get a hug from a genuine person. It keeps me "warm and fuzzy" for a long, long time. Thank you for sharing this offering. Love and peace to you,

Regis

Dear Pierre
"Better" is beautiful! I love to hear that you love a hug! This is the kind of love that you mustn't keep hidden! Please look up Ammachi, the Cuddle Mother, Hugging Saint on amma.org
Have you heard of her? She goes around the world cuddling us: her children, and people line up for ... as long as it takes, and she never finishes till the last one is cuddled and blessed! She has been acknowledged as a Living Saint. Please look her up dear Pierre!
Love & Hugging Bliss
Suzie :-D
PS -- was cuddled again last Mon and Tues here in Oz!!

This spoke so many volumes as to the way I see pain, love and lonliness too you capture so much emotion so simplistic.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
