To Never Again Love This Way

To Never Again Love This Way

 

 

To need love

to breathe…

to exist only

to love another.

 

To hurt

when love leaves,

to break

when it deceives.

 

To anguish, to grieve

to abandon all hope

for sorrow.

 

To plead, to pray

to never again

love this way.

Old age had taught me. Should of loved more and drank less.
"To plead, to pray
to never again
love this way."
Few times in a lifetime we find place where are free and untamed. Thank you Kelly for sharing the amazing poetry.

"Should of loved more and drank less." I guess we each have a cross to bare over love. Thank you, John!

[Coyote Poetry]

Yes we do. Most people will trip often in the want of love and wished to have been kinder. You are welcome dear Kelly.

Such sensual despair accompanied by a sensual picture of despair Kelly

[Kelly Scheppers]

I don't usually do a rhyme, but it really worked for me here. Thank you, John!

As clarity becomes fog I am reminded of one such me, loving, losing, facing the obliteration of the self in the oneness of a loved one gone forever. OUCH!

Love,
Al

Painfully beautiful and personal, yet words so many can relate to in a way that are felt deep within. "To pray to never again love this way" captures a thousand broken connections between heart and mind. Can they ever be fixed or feel again? Personally, for my sake, I sincerely hope not. Superb write Kelly, with thanks to Papaya for the read request.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Nemo. I am always pleased to snare the attention of another reader through a friend! ...many thanks, Ana!

[Lorry]

Yeah, She always chooses just right :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

It is a realistic poem. I like the way you portray the feelings in "to hurt when love leaves
to break when it deceives".

[Kelly Scheppers]

Love is one emotion so many of us can relate to. Thank you for your review...and for visiting me today!

A beautiful and lovely write. Deeply emotional, feels like a heart written off which left traces of ink and candid words to fill the pages. I like the picture a lot too, very artistic and aesthetic - when I write I always have intense scenes and images in mind too. Your attitude of sharing all those great pics reminds me of its ongoings and depths which is very lovable.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Vanessa. I believe this one has a pulse all its own. I felt it when I finished writing it!

Yes it does, it's great and you're welcome.

This is beautiful. If we lived in a world run mad with pretenders & robots, people would be able to see you are human because of this piece. This comes from the heart - a heart.
& is genuine; sincere.

Well done on this one,

Phoenix
