Once ~ I loved

Inspired.

Once ~ I loved

sleep walking in moonlit nights, 

the thought of your presence surrounding me,

a smile on my lips, half curled; 

now, pearls in my eyes glisten... uncontainable; they spill

as I barricade myself off love ...

Once ~ I loved ...

Such a sad, sad poem.. but never to come true, dear you.

'now pearls in my eyes glisten.. ' so much said in that simple phrase. Your writing can touch magic.. or, is it that magic touches your writing. I pray and hope that time will wave some magic over, around and inside you.. make you whole again - heart and all. (Yumna)

I saw yesterday you returned & this brings a smile. I knew you'd be back becuz you're a fighter & a survivor. I kept this in my reading list to remind me to welcome you back. The msg in your poem is almost exactly what goes thru my mind as I remember my last male best friend (dead 5 years) & then right after that, I think, I'm not opening up like that again . . . anytime soon! *wink! wink!* Fondly, Margie

Morning Doc. If only we all found a life partner what a far better place the world would be.

Tenderly gently lovingly sad... Your little pieces are like Your heartbeats, each one gives us a beat... to dream sometimes all we have, and to believe in our dreams is all what we can do, each poem of Yours come swiftly from Your heart, with pure emotion and clear feeling, like a gentle breeze, Your yearning is so very softly felt, like a butterfly's wings, free them out to Love...


So very lovely dear Yumna!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you so much for your way too lovely words on this piece, Light. Very much appreciated (:

We can never re-capture the magic of the past, which also takes on a warm glow as it gets more distant. But 'hope springs eternal in the human breast'. While there is life, there is love.

A neatly constructed and telling poem.

Sometimes it just feels so hard to believe that there exists a thing such as love...
thank you for your words here and for appreciating, Jibey (:

I understand this poem. Love is sweet and rare for a minute. Then we learn. Must protect the heart. I felt the honest words and the honest thoughts. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry.
