Souls Adjoining (Poetry) - 9/16/2013 3:02:14 PM
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON . . . It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.
When people come into your life for a SEASON . . .Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done and that is to learn love. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season...
It was for a season... love never dies... it remains for an eternity...
Love and Light

I can certainly relate to the meaning and sentiments that you have expressed through you verses, Ed. Thank you for sharing. Love and peace,
Regis
Souls Adjoining (Poetry) - 9/13/2013 6:26:03 AM
Yes, very beautifully expressed. I feel transported back to nineteen century poetry with your language and the intent. It is really unfortunate that your relationship didn't last, especially when you wrote such beautiful poetry for her to enjoy.
That reminds me of the time my girlfriend and I drove 60 miles to Minneapolis to watch the hokey movie, Love Story. At some point, when she realized the tragedy was coming, my girlfriend started crying. She didn't stop when we left the theater or all the way home on that long drive on the interstate. When I asked her why she was crying so much she just said, “That's us!” She was having difficulty knowing that my spinal cord injury was growing worse and there was nothing that could be done about it––that was over forty years ago––the tragedy never happened like she thought it would.
I only saw The Last of the Mohicans once, too, and was mesmerized by the wilderness and the native people. I want to see it again. Why women fall asleep while watching such fascinating stories, I'll never know.
Ron
Souls Adjoining (Poetry) - 9/13/2013 2:59:28 AM
So beautiful Ed
Even though relationships end for whatever reason it is difficult to get the person's soul connection to end.
>I feel that we are destined to find perhaps a few of those soul connections ,if we are lucky. Just have to embrace each and every moment in life and live!
Lots of peace love and light

True love is everlasting,
Even when a heart's betrayed.
Seek the light of happiness,
It's all for which we've prayed.
Love this, Eddy. I want to think I've been "betrayed" so it gives me an excuse for hurting. She did not "betray" me. I love her more than ever. Your words spoke to me. Thank you. Love and peace,

“[As] life's footsteps slip away.” It's such a wonderful line, like most of the poem that is filled with so much wisdom and insight for such a brief discourse.
You have real talent and others here are noticing it as well as I.
Ron
Dreams and Memories (Poetry) - 3/9/2013 8:16:27 AM

Heartfelt wonderful poem excellent expression.

Dreams and Memories (Poetry) - 3/8/2013 6:31:54 PM
I believe dreams change if you can't fulfill the dreams you want. Disappointments can do that. Seeking the light of happiness is the best thing to do. Prayer is the best thing you can do as well.
Gail
Dreams and Memories (Poetry) - 3/8/2013 9:52:08 AM
The wise heart always keeps sweet memories...

Life is a mystery upon all of us...
Excellent poetry...

Lay With Me Forever (Poetry) - 1/19/2013 7:41:27 AM
Right off a little history :)
A legend says that Cupid and/or Eros brought pink quartz stones to earth, hoping that it would spread love, warmth and passion...
Another myth mentions that when Adonis was attacked by Ares, God of War, his lover Aphrodite tried to help him. On her way she caught herself on a thorny bush and when she finally arrived it was already too late, Adonis had died. Their blood mingled and the white quartz in the area was stained to a pink color.
Zeus felt pity for them both, and every year he would restore Adonis to life for half a year.
Otherwise a lovely poem, very romantic and tender
Love and Light

Gail
Anniversary (Poetry) - 8/5/2012 1:00:06 PM
Of course at the time of this writing, it was inspired by an earlier time. She would never come home with you as she was all about falseness which is so sad. I can fully review this since I have your book...
But the sentiments were beautiful and also sad a the end.
A wonderful romantic write
Love and Light
Lily
Despair of Dreams (Poetry) - 8/5/2012 12:52:30 PM
Aye, I am aware of the whole story behind this. But as you said dear Eddy, you truly felt no loss for you never really loved her.
However, you do write very well about tainted words, lies, a false love, and never the intention to commit to your soul. As you know, good thing. She is not a well soul.
Love and Light

Unforgotten (Poetry) - 4/15/2012 7:54:15 AM
So poignant.
My uncle disappeared (with his girlfriend–unsubstantiated at the time) in 1962. When one of her five children found them in 2006, he had died in 1995, and she died in 2005. Too late for poems. Fortunately, they left their home to neighbors still filled with pictures and mementos of their fugitive life. My uncle kept track of his five children through the local small-town paper, But, through all those years, he never contacted them with any remorse.
Ron

CAp & Trade (Global Warming Bill) (Poetry) - 7/1/2009 8:45:21 AM
The Climate Change Bill is a scam using the phony threat of man-made global warming to tax the carbon life cycle and regulate every facet of our lives. Al Gore, of course, owns the company you'll be buying your carbon credits from. This is the same racket the Catholic Church used to use when they sold indulgences. This will force all industry out of the United States and transfer any remaining wealth we have to off-shore bankers. We are going third-world fast. Couple this with the coming dollar crisis and fake flu pandemic where they will try to mass vaccinate everybody and you have real hard-core tyranny headed our way. Thank you for this. People better wake up..........

Roosevelt's original ideas hit the nail on the head. Our ancestors came from other places. However, they came here knowing they would become American, with PRIDE. That's the biggest difference between then and now. I do know many immigrants who are going about things the right way legally and working hard. I know just as many who are not. The latter ones are the problem. They take cheap housing, jobs, and freebees. Sad that we're letting it happen. It's an invasion that we're allowing. Great job expressing your opinion here! Hugs,

This Rose (Poetry) - 1/30/2009 6:17:54 AM
I think you are right about flowers having meanings which are different for a woman than for a man. For one thing, there is a "language of flowers," and most men do not speak nor understand that tongue, while many women do. Leads to a lot of misunderstanding of intent. Never give a woman a dozen red roses unless you really mean what they are saying. Very risky.
On your bio, you mentioned having one of your poems copied by someone and placed on some Website, marked "author unknown." Me too. This has happened to most of us from time to time. A couple of my friends have even had their work stolen and published under someone else's byline (that is far worse). Copyright law has loopholes. One of the loopholes is the required for-profit motive of the thief. Then there is the "education or research" loophole, where your works can be pilferred to be used in a book which is educational or for research (your permission is not necessary in this case). In either case, about the only thing you can do is complain to the Website/Publisher and demand that your poem either be removed or your byline placed on it. In most cases, your poem will be snagged and used with your byline intact, and that gives you one more publication credit.

Remember Me (Poetry) - 12/9/2008 4:04:27 AM
Lovely. Reminds me of a verse penned for or by the late Brian Jones:
When this you see remember me
And bear me in your mind
Let all the world say what they may
Speak of me as you find.

Hello Ed J.
Very loving and tender, like Elvis' "Love Me Tender" song. Ah yes...the font...for people like me with age clouding the eyesight, I found it hard to read as the letters seemed to "cluster" together.
But the poem is very good.

what font do you see here? It's supposed to be a script font. It was big to be clear.

Beyond touching. Heartrending too weak!! All that keeps one from dissolving in tears is awe over the way you have expressed the inexpressible. Age has robbed one of our beloved dogs of mobility and continence, but she is not in pain and still has a good appetite, and I love to baby her, bless her heart. Thank you for showing me the way to this. . .I have run out of words {me!!}, I fear. May good memories ease your pain. . in time. Love, Phyllis

Not to stuffy! "Plan in the present, empower the future." Great hindsight to discover the many veins that branch off of forgiveness.

Letting Go (Poetry) - 3/7/2008 6:23:38 AM
The last four lines say it all, Ed. Sometimes, regardless of how hard we try to fix things, God knows best and we're meant to move on. Good luck to you. If there's one thing I've always preached, it is that writing is the best therapy a person can have during a difficult time in life. Words, however pained, can often bring comfort and aid in the healing process. I hope you've found that writing about your sad experience did help you.
A beautiful poem, even through the sadness.
All the best,
Jill

Fear often keeps people from moving forward, regardless of how awful their present life may be - even if it feels like love. What will be, will be.

I can only imagine what it would be like to love someone who isn't or can't be yours, and I have to say that I agree with Karen...deceit just brings about more deceit in one form or another. Well written, Ed.
