THE VACUUM

                             THE VACUUM

Caught are we in this vacuum where time

Neither advances nor retreats.

Nothingness has become a state

Of imprisonment between two souls

Not lacking of love but of circumstance.

Moments shared become meaningless

In this emotional vapor..this

World where time has lost it's momentum.

Can we not accept what can never be?

Is the addiction too strong to sever

Like a gangrenous limb useless yet wanted?

I hope in time that you heart will heal and that you can feel loved and treated how you deserve it, These poems all tell us what you have been through and are still going through, Through it all i can tell you are a stronger and wiser person from it, Keep the faith and again love the words you write.. thanks ...

One of the hardest things I think I've ever found to do is to walk away from something I really wanted to work. There is always in the back of my mind the questions, "Did I do enough? Or try hard enough? Did I go down every avenue to make things right?" I can never really know the answers. I have to settle for I did what I could.
Your images here are sharp and clear.

I don't think there are answers to this perplexing situation..Only time can determine this . I also feel it has nothing to do with strengths or weakness as Blindfold has suggested. We just do what we can and let it resolve itself as it always does.

A wonderful poem full of imagery and all the things that make you a great writer.

I would say that you are definitely not the one stuck in a vacuum, you completely control the situation. You as Serah so wonderfully stated, have already lost your patience. You are simply waiting for that "bond" to be destroyed once and for all. It is true that time heals and I believe that you truly are healed. The addiction that once held on to you has died and you're a stronger woman for it.

Yes...I know I'm a guy and what do guys do, we solve problems and to this end..you have solved your problem.

I don't know about the children's books, while they would be wonderful I'm sure, I think your writing would be better served writing..other things :)

Thank you for the thoughtful review

Guess we should "part" from something or someone whom we r not truly a part of .. (She says but can not do) .. .. Why do we choose fire, when it just burns .. I don't know .. I just love basking in those hot places .. I am addicted , can't feel the burn, till later .. and as it heals, I long for more .. and even more, please .. .. awww .. what a world we women live in, and through ... Oh, great lines here, I felt each one, close ..

~ damn!! ~ when pains fuels such utter brilliance, i almost don't hate it!! ...

~ you've turned excruciating pain into powerfully poignant poetry... i read and re-read this piece in awe... the array of images you've etched is astounding... "vacuum"... "imprisonment"... "emotional vapor"... "time has lost its momentum"... "addiction too strong"... and... finally "gangrenous limb"... dudette, you've taken brevity and put it on a pedestal... as if it's a greek god to which your infinitely poetic heart is offering an incredible ode...

~ p.s. sometimes, the one we expect the most understanding from... is slow... and how slow is anyone's guess... and... ultimately, maybe it's about finding the limits of one's patience... i hate to say this... but i think it's pretty true in my case... i sincerely hope sometimes that i run out of patience soon...

[Southern Cross]

I think mine has and my muse is finally getting that I have let go..We shall see but hell what will I write now? Perhaps children"s books LOL Sometimes I think I'm happy in my misery..It creates poetic thoughts. Just don't let me become mad hence insane. You are most kind in your reviews which is always way better than my poetry

[.]

~ hahahaha...! ~ you won't need to write children's books... don't worry... lol...! ~ your sense of humour is too crazy... ~ i'm sure you'll meet someone... when you absolutely and completely let go... until then... there's no dearth of "if you were here today, we would" scenarios... and, NO, my reviews are not better than your poems... accept that you're a very gifted poetess... because you are... and this particular piece has to be one of my favourite pieces by any poet... you know how much i relate to each image... read my list... :P

[Southern Cross]

You always make me smile even on my darkest days Don't ever disappear. I would lose my "normalcy"

~ oh, my precious princess... i won't... i can't if i tried... just promise me you'll pray that the electricity situation and internet connections in india stay stable... our government isn't... it lost an ally and hence majority in parliament as of yesterday... lol ! ... but one hopes that... that won't spoil everything... :P

[Southern Cross]

I pray for your countries resolutions as i do for all the world beyond our boundaries

[.]

~ ah... then i'll be here... and you'll be here... and we'll laugh about writing children's books but never actually write them... :P
