A letter from my heart

Don't worry

not on this night

it’s not about degree of belief

it’s not about the thoughts of blame

it’s not about a thousand other things

you might ask or wonder from this heart

It's about us

you either know 

you either feel 

reach for the impossibility of that star I

see within you

I fear like a child within us

or you don’t

dear Perdition… we seem to be drawn to the Stars to wish upon… the North Star to guide us and Venus to 💕 love us. Thank you for your romantic rendezvous persuasions. softly, Pat

I made it back on finally!!!

lol

This one asks the perennial question that may or may not yield the answer sought for a myriad of reasong, both known and unknown.

Superb as usual.

What a beautiful thing to see and feel that star quality in another. As Jacob has said, it is shameful that you have only had one review for this emotionally charged poem. Now you have another. Quality poetry.

[Perdition]

lol. Yes, I do Chris and two quality reviews are worth a thousand " Hey really enjoyed...thanks" and day of the week..lol. I was having a night when I wrote this out. Sometimes you point at an old love or a distant star and just let it out. Start tapping from the heart. Off-topic but recently spoke about Springsteen's changing in the Eighties to a more Pop sound and he spoke of having to change in a recent interview with Stern. Last night I went through old albums with those jacket lyric sleeves...Badlands and Rosarita and Jungledland and I think if he had kept writing operas like that, there is no way he would have been able to remember all the lyrics. Brilliant Disguise and Tunnel of Love is much easier..lol. Sorry ..rambling but I do that some days. Thank you, Chris and this old lonesome letter thanks you too ;)

belief in another person...that is what relationships are built upon...
there is always that fear of being let down...
it's life...no blame, just the way it is.
this is such a strong piece...and only one review?
shameful.

[Perdition]

Hahaha...thank you kind sir and it's not about the reviews for me... it's the emotion I am feeling and whether I can I get it out in time, sometimes a waltz sometimes a stumble but then I'm off to another...but I do thank you for the recognition as always J.~

The speaker is making a gamble, is out there, vulnerable. If the other can sense this, and feels a sympathetic vibe, the gamble was successful. If not, win some, lose some.

[Perdition]

Well, without the gamble where is the poetry and risk...all worth it, and if not, as you said and very well put sir..lol. Worth every last try when your heart is there...at least so I believe. Appreciated!~
