No matter what some say, I really do not think that human beings are meant to be alone.
Heaven in Hell
Don’t tell me
To look at the beauty
Around me
I cannot look at it
If I cannot find it
It is too much Of a mess
Of a hell Of a world
But
To have you hold me
Say Merry Christmas
Mean all that it stands for
Sweet love
That Is heaven in hell
Le Paradis en Enfer
Ne me dis pas
De contempler la beauté
Autour de moi
Je ne peux pas la contempler
Si je ne peux la constater
Tout est trop
Trop en désordre
Trop infernal
Dans ce monde
Mais
Lorsque tu me prends dans tes bras
Et que tu me soupires Joyeux Noël
Et tout ce que cela signifie
Ma précieuse
Mon amour
C’est le paradis en enfer
Regis, I love it! This is my favorite of your poems so far. You know hell here and it shows in your writing. Then I find this one, and that brief sweetness extinguishes burning coals under feet. Those temporary moments keep us dancing on this planet, huh.
YOU ARE PERFECTLY RIGHT...WE ARE NOT MEANT TO BE ALONE AND...WE NEVER ARE...ALONE. A GOOD WRITE AND A POINT WELL TAKEN. THANKS FOR SHARING AND BLESSINGS. LOVE, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
"That is heaven in hell"
It sure can be. However, it can sometime be hell in heaven.
The solitude of creation with all its poetic beauty and wonder can be a healing balm from one who plays games with your mind.
As always a brilliant poem.
Yes, love makes it all worth it, I think-but what do I know, lol? I like how your poems are direct and to the point, no holds barred, so that when you do share one, we know it is directly from your heart and soul at that moment.
Wonderfully stated, Regis! Alone is something some of us do, partly out of choice, partly because the world seems to not hold that special soul that we seek, the one that would be seeking that same dream. Enjoyed this work.
Wishing you and yours the very Happiest of New Years,
Jim
We are all human beings trying to be angelic in a very demonic world. We do our best. Life is full of hurt and sadness. The peaks of happy moments should not be spent alone. Happy New Year Regis!
We are not an island unto ourselves. We are meant to live in community. I was alone for 5 years when I met my husband. It seemed like 5 years of hell but it was a good learning experience, or so I've come to believe. Hugs, J'nia
I think hard-knocks change the way we look at the world. It gets harder and harder to see the silver lining. I like this poem, Regis. I always want to see the good in someone, too. This is thought-provoking. I see it from several different angles. Well done. Love and Hugs,
Sheila
Balance is the key, Regis...being addicted to love will only break your heart at some point...it's a hell of an emotion that heaven acknowledges to all who have arrived with their hearts in tow, some pulling a heavy load, others going at it solo...risk is what lets us grow...be well.
Regis, this is a cross between romantic mayhem and perdition -- eloquent words from a very creative writer -- peace and love to you my friend -- Jon Michael
Heaven In Hell, is sure some solemn language to many Reg!
You said it all too well, for those that feel it!
Beautifully done in both lang.s!
Hope your Christmas was Special in sooo many ways!
Have a HAPPY! New Year 2010

Je me demande comment on sait ce qui est censé être ou non. Comme c'est votre travail, c'est votre opinion. Je pense que je vais aborder ce trop logique. Hm. Je crois que nous sommes censés être à la fois seul et accompagné. Équilibre, toujours mettre en balance, ou la folie des risques. Personnellement, je ne crois que la vie est tout à fait déséquilibrées sur le côté de l'enfer. Je ne sais pas comment faire face, sans amour, fais de mon mieux. Je crois qu'il faut être tout d'abord, though. Sinon, c'est le besoin, pas l'amour, non? Quoi qu'il en soit, beau, et j'aime les Français. juli
Regis, it strikes me reading this work, that the great alone of this world with its savage competition is almost more than a single person can bear alone without sinking into terrible despondency, or equally stubborn determination to maintain the aloneness--but you and some of your reviewers are exactly correct that the God-given love and friendship of a mate can enable the beauty to be seen. When I was alone, no place to turn to, love lifted me....Jerry
I would love to hear you read me some poetry Regis
in French of course...as it is I could listen to you all day
I agree we are not ment to be alone...
We need anothers arms to wrap around & entwine us within

Regis, Heaven resideds in the hearts of those who never lose hope in love or or the inherent goodness in this flawed creation of God--humanity. Well said in few words.
Oh Reg, you really said it all here. Brilliant. Liz

We are not meant to be alone "all of the time" yet there are times that we need to be. Humans are the only species that haven't figured that out. Each person needs there own space to be alone in when it is needed. Something I have lacked for six months now and I sure do hope that I can regain some sanity having at least my own room in a new place. I have trouble finding peace around me and that is no place for this double leo, born on the first in the year of the dragon to be. Have a great Holiday...LadyJ
Regis, rien qu'au titre je me suis dit "quelle confusion"? But when I read further, you seem to be the luckyest man on earth. Le coeur rempli d'amour ne meurt jamais. Joyeux Noel, Merry Christmas.

We are most certainly descending into hell, my friend . . .
A VERY GOOD WRITE and though-provoking, Regis. It brought me to this place: Sometimes beauty (or peace) must be found within ourselves...a minute "glimmer light" that beacons through to say that everything will be alright even though we are alone. Have an enjoyable holiday season. Brynn :)
Though I am comfortable in the times that I am alone, I also love those times when I am partnered. There is some strange freedom in the vulnerability that comes with allowing someone else to share your soul. Reg, your point is well expressed in this lovely Christmas write.
Take care,
Sherry
