everything must dissipate…convincing self

when he's gone

won’t be sitting orange electric

watching  “The Last Dragon” no more

one of your favorites thangs especially Vanity singing

while alarms of sensibility clangs getting on my nerves

needling vision to restore... indulging my brood

don’t want to sow seeds that lead down ravines of self pity

waiting for that serving to grow cold

right now things still percolatin’ weighing metal on mind

as for the heart… it laments overtime…I need to scribble in it’s occupancy

return S upon the vest…shouldna never released the girl

who bestowed  this honor in the first place

won’t be listening to beloved jazz... alternative r&b

classical  we shall become reacquainted

resist the welcome to sorrow in your absence

pleading my presence… will learn to hate you as I love you so much

everything must dissipate (love you so much)

 

incidentally… not everything

Always have you read you twice to get the full essence...S on the chest is/was your Superman I suppose, relationships have blurry lines, love/hate is a twisted distinction. Sometimes we need to move along even before it's served straight up on ice....outstanding read, as always Shirlena.

I fell for someone when we were both young and innocent. When we became adults I still loved him but found that of course, he had changed...a lot. Me, in a completely different direction but I remember never forgetting him and managing without him so thanks for enjoying homage to one of my experiences Frieda. Thank you.

[Frieda P]

Ahh I miss young and the innocence of that kind of love, always a pleasure to read your words Shirlena.

[Shirlena]

Relationships are hard and when they are over the pain is so great ,we wish that the memories would go away too because the memories of what was kills us.Shirlena your poetry always leaves me in awe of your mastery hunny :)

[Shirlena]

Yes, it really is and I don't fall in love that much...I love a lot of people but I don't fall in love. Thank you Vidya, you so sweet :).

"I say, who's the master? You say... Shonuff!" Classic! Sorry, couldn't resist. I know these emotions well. You conveyed them well with vulnerability and a reluctant strength. Excellent write!

[Shirlena]

It was on last night...unfortunately I can't help but watch it every time it comes on lol so I understand not being able to resist lol. Thank you Travis.

[Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)]

On it! "Catches bullets with his teeth! N%&#@ please." Damn, I LOVE that movie! Lol

[Shirlena]

LOL me too...one of the best..."Who's the MASTAH! "I Y'AM (wild laugh)", "He's got that GLOW".

[redflutterby]

This took me back...way back..lol. Years ago when my three year relationship with my high school sweetheart ended. I remember letting go of all the things i connected to him. Music...foods...activities. Like I needed to find a whole new me...but also to convince myself that letting go was essential. But in reality I never completely got over him. Sigh...

Love the flow and style of this.... ;-)

[Shirlena]

Aww thank you so much redflutterby...love your moniker by the way. This is a situation most of us can relate to isn't it? Instead of me getting drunk on beer...I get drunk on classical or fusion, no chords or words to remind me of...him. Thanks again.

[redflutterby]

Youre welcome hun... ;-D

[Lyn Anderson]

This one gave me shivers. So beautifully expressed, the struggle to move on, the feeling of mourning, longing, love ... great emotions expressed here.

[Shirlena]

Thank you so much KL...happy I wrote something you like :).

[Lyn Anderson]

[Shirlena]

Greatly appreciated...thank you :).
