Say something ~

...Inspired by the music

Even when you're scared , 

   & the night is darker than death

    fear is part of that call of yearning,

learning to love again is akin to

    deep ocean's churning wild,

say something, 

   anything to ignite connection's desire 

     hold on that to spark of fiery incandescence 

swallow your pride and open wide,

   no one can read our minds,

        we ultimately all crawl and stumble

that's why it's called 'falling in love'

It is scary to learn to trust again once your heart has been broken before... to let go of that fear and allow yourself to "stumble and fall".. not knowing if they will be there to catch you... that "connection" and "spark" can ignite passion or it can ignite fear... and sometimes both which makes it that much harder to "learn to love" again... to have faith in not only yourself on shaky legs but in someone else as well.. they surely can't "read our minds" but sometimes we are afraid of their answer... very real, honest, beautiful piece... as per usual.. just lovely ma'am...

Believe me, I know...I wrote this one for me. Once that trust is broken, it's not easy to put your heart back together, especially without being suspicious. I am guilty of that for sure...thanks so much April, you always read my thoughts. :)

it sure isn't easy... that is my biggest demon... fear... not only are you shaky, but fragile due to piecing fragments together... then to let go and hand it over to someone else who can easily smash it into smaller pieces after all you had to do to even get to this point is asking a lot... not sure if you can handle another break before it will never be whole again... yes ma'am...I know exactly how that feels... and you speak to my heart and are in my head so that is easily done.. ((hugs))

falling while trying so hard to brace ourselves.....too much holding back.

So this is the poem that influenced KL's poem, I can see why, it is some creative wisdom wrapped up in poetic verse. As they say once bitten twice shy. I certainly know how that feels.

This is truly a priceless beautiful piece.
A rare work of art that is appreciated.

Once you've lost trust in someone 9 times out of 10 you won't trust them again, you'll find it hard to trust anyone. I know this all to well, I think more than I even admit to myself. Trust is what binds a relationship. If you don't trust them, you're screwed. And when someone we care for breaks our trust, breaks out heart and messes with us/our life it's hard to regain all that and move forward. We tend to move forward cautiously... And with a lot of thought. We question our every move from there on out.

This touched me and I can relate. Awesome job with this one!
Flip flops & all that jazz....xo

As always a special set of words from a heart that feels so much and a spirit stronger than Bertha! Your words in this say more between the lines.. for me, tho maybe wrong.. but we each have an interpretation, that's how listening and reading and all strikes different chords. You somehow shape emotion into something so very magical, finding words that reach right into a person's mind, literally and academically .. and, darn it.. that song wraps thought in an ultra powerful hug,, aware of.. whatever.

That's so true..to keep the spark alive..love is a fickled thing for sure...we all fall and make mistakes...one day we might get it right..

But saying something is the hardest part, especially if you have been hurt before, or you are scared what the return answer will be.

I know, exactly, but what are the alternatives...

You've certainly done the song justice, I don't know why I don't attempt this exercise more often, I guess I just never think of it...anyways you know how I feel about romance, I'm hardly an optimist, mainly cuz I've been given very few reasons to be optimistic about it, so that element of the piece certainly spoke to me...the last four lines just did it for me...yep, we crawl and stumble all right, and sometimes we might break a leg...or two...still, I want to derive some hope from the imagery in the latter parts...falling in love scares me, probably more these days than it ever has, but I guess that's neither here nor there...this is another great piece, brimming with emotion as your work always is...well done Mrs.R :) xo

[Frieda P]

Always find music inspiring, as I know you do, I'm actually surprised you don't write to it more often...breaking a leg would be a lot easier, bones mend, a heart is much more delicate and can't be cast and put back together to heal stronger the way bones do....thanks sweet Benji. :) xo

[kublakhan27]

It probably has something to do with my fragile concentration...still I should try it sometime, I kinda did it with that one with the titles but that was different...

That's a good point...yes, the heart is delicate, and when you're delicate to begin with like me, it's not a good thing haha You're always welcome my sweet friend :) xo

It is hard to trust someone after anyone broke your trust. But you need to be strong about it and keep your head high at all times.

Much easier said than done, thanks so much for your visit and review stars.
