"It's Strange" flows on the river of loneness making waves of sadness all the way to the lake of tolerance.

Issues of the heart are always muse to beautiful and complex writes. This is wonderful and so wonderful at this point you were swept off your feet :).

It's strange what you can write
When you�re on your own
in the middle of the night.

I've written some deep things in the middle of the night so I too can definitely relate to this. Excellent write.

The best thing about this, Paul, is that we can probably all relate to it, and yet that's the terrible thing too; we can all relate to unrequited love. You're a wonderful writer. ~~Nordette

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, Paul. Life is a dream-a vision of my imagination that is. You write with such honest emotion, unveiled and shared with us so openly. I'm green. In more ways than one...Love, Lin

Is it me, or does this strike such a chord with us all that it is, in fact, hilariously funny?? Probably I'm completely up the shoot and hysterical, Paul, but I just detect a cameraderie and a frisson of self-knocking humour here... uh-oh... hope it's not quite the opposite - that you're desperately self-possessed and serious instead. Otherwise it's me that's dealin another shitty blow. My antennae are completely busted atdemo, so please ignore me if I'm gettin this all wrong. But, what is very, very right about this write is that it absolutely ROCKS and is so upfront and honest I just wish I wrote it... cept it might not sound like me, but is how I might feel if I were you... on second thoughts, looks like I am totally screwed and just need to toddle off to bed. But I really like this, Paul, and I like you for writing it and... oh dear... what am I gonna be like under anaesthetic if I'm like this on Ovaltine?! You're not on the lookout for a humorist by any chance, are you?! LOL :)) Kate xx

Love the last three lines

It's strange what you can write
when you're on your own
in the middle of the night

It's the time of the night when you have to face yourself...

Wonderful write Paul...

Yeah... funny what triggers the muse. This poem reads like my life only better written! What shows through this, is the poet's strength of character to be able to turn a bad experience into good reading and definitely on a subject most can relate to. Thumbs up!

IT'S STRANGE and yet it's wonderful how such tortured emotional ambivalence can give birth to such beautiful romantic lines.

Paul, well said, I hope you're not feeling that now, but if you are, methinks you have lots of company;-) I sometimes wonder how the hell it all goes wrong when it seems so right at first.Besides the world doing somersaults it seems we are doing them right along with it.Guess this is topsy turvy time;-)Hope you'll soon have your balance back. Keep writing, and don't be hard on yourself life is tough enough...
