Do You Know?

...still caring from a distance...

I cannot help but wonder

Do you ever read my writing

Encapsulating my many blunders

Until I gave up trying

 

So many pieces inspired by you

The door to my soul you opened

Would it bring greater offense if you knew

Considering what you have chosen

 

If you read me at all please know that I care

I read you and my heart is breaking

Happiness is not what you have recently shared

Please know that for you I will always be praying

An incredibly moving piece...it's hard to find the words to articulate how it truly makes me feel, except to say that I relate to it very much...and even though I've carried these sentiments for many years, I've never been able to convey them with such crystal clarity...excellent work my friend :)

[FlamingPhoenix]

I find it most interesting the pieces of mine that move you. Your positive reviews and kind words mean much more than I could ever convey. My appreciation and esteem for you as a writer who inspires me, makes your reviews that much more meaningful! Thank you :-)

[kublakhan27]

So sweet, and I like that there's a secret hidden in this poem.
Well done. ^^

connection...such the timeless journey..always filling us in one curve and leaving us empty until the next. You are strong and motivated ...standing back and watching, loving, remembering from afar. It will give you great perspective in your next movements. Thank you for sharing a piece of your soul.

[FlamingPhoenix]

Truth! Thank you for your review.

[Aethereal]

That was sweet. Your poems constantly tug on all of us from a distance through the aether just as the Moon’s gravity tugs on the sea, the taste of blood tugs on a flea, or the scent of nectar tugs on a bee.

[FlamingPhoenix]

Wow! Thanks!!

[Aethereal]

Thank you for your visit and review.

This poem brings tears to eyes! It is exactly what I have been going through lately. He did not read any of my writings to him in the end. Maybe it was because of the stupid things I wrote. Maybe it is his way of trying to tell me that he is not interested and do not want me to be in his life even only as a friend. I soon understood his silence and stopped writing, and just continued praying for him. If only, maybe, I wasn't so odd. Perhaps I should not have kept on waiting and hoping during those eight years. But I am glad God heard my prayers to give him a life of happiness.

Ah, but forget about my pathetic ranting! This is a deeply heartfelt poem and I enjoy it very much.

Ahhhhh, Phoenix....your heart is showing, my friend. This piece tugs at my heart. Be blessed. Is this the lost love that you now stand and watch from a distance? Very sad and sentimental....but very effective. Nice write!

[FlamingPhoenix]

I cannot claim to have loved her, as my actions didnt always show it--or maybe they did which was scary for this one. Regardless, I made mistakes but always had a pure heart and pure intention. Closest thing I've felt to love for many years--enough for me to finally learn to let go and confront many demons. I wish this one had come into my life now instead of then, but to get to who I am now--I had to go through that. Of course,I do believe that I was not the only one to make mistakes--but if we both learned something and find happiness--All's well...

If you read me at all please know that I care
I read you and my heart is breaking
Happiness is not what you have recently shared
Please know that for you I will always be praying.

Ah dear.... This is so sad yet it caring for her Love. Yeah... found many lines re

[FlamingPhoenix]

Once someone gets into my heart, I always care. The truth is, at least in my understanding, I never made it into hers.
