Stepping out of painfully shy.... briefly once. (poem) by Kay P M- Devenish on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on April 12, 2008

Thank you for the comments...for those who wonder what this is really about,it is just about the day when I told someone that 'I loved 'them. I had held those words in for ages before that day but in a moment of bravery,I told him and then I 'ran for hills'(so to speak) nothing ever came of it as it was not a mutual feeling.I am forever glad that I did have the courage to express my feelings and though there was embarrassment for us BOTH,we both had a better respect for each other afterward and we have remained distant but good'friends.'Later he found his true love.
Life goes on...all is well...I am happy for him.

Very, very good write about the risk life is, Kay. Too bad the Christians can't accept it. Maybe the lions will.

In our lives
we always walk the road
we've walk

Better or worse
There's always a line
"the limit"

Crossed the line
but don't go further
tracing footsteps

Back home
is where you belong
sweet home

I guess that the reason the Christian site reected it is they interpreted it as being a confession of immorality. Shame on them and a pox on their judgment! This is a sensitive and beautiful piece of confessional poetry and I applaud you for writing and posting it for us to share.

PS: The attitude of the Christian site reminds me of a piece by the famous Canadian writer, Irving Layton, titled 'Misunderstanding':
"I placed/my hand/upon/her thigh.
By the way/she moved/away/I could see/her devotion/to literature/was not/perfect.*

Don't let mid-Victorian meddlers discourage you from staying in touch with your REAL feelings and expressing them whenever and however you need to. Write on!

I agree, it does,"sing and cry" as Vesna said! Good job of expressing yourself in this poem, Kay!
