Don’t ever fall in love with a poet, my sweetest Soul, he’ll steal your eyes blind And not just one but several. I guess I'm lucky though as they are all long dead. Wonderful poem....thanks for posting it. Pleides

I've found that loving a poet can be very exciting. I've loved a couple of them in my time. I was the one who left first, but then I'm a poet, too. Brilliantly written poem, though. Always, Cat

Ooooh, are we so crul, merciless and painful? Ouch that does hurt! Here is my retort to this! Each of us has a sublime facet to our life. A love for the simple beauty that goes unnoticed, For the enjoyment of emotions that go unappreciated, For the valued achievements that go unseen. We have a hunger within our human souls To acknowledge to our deity of these things. Poems, therefore, spring from our hearts and souls, Within lives that are shaped by spiritual sincerity With a preferred desire for honest simplicity. We enlarge upon our love of nature and our intimacy. Commonly, our poems are somewhat like prays, That serves a way to live and cope with a secular world. We sense our daily environment through poems, Seeking to let God know of our enjoyment, our love, and our troubles; Yet, knowing that we write not to an audience of cold people, But to other caring souls that they too may hear Of our feelings, our love, and our sadness. We are those who care that if one might fall They should try to raise them self, If not, then we strive to be there to help lift them up, To mend and treat their wounds, And thus release their soul to fly again. For we are poets!

It is hard to explain some writes to some loved ones.. espescially if it isn't about them.. good theme.. good write.. my only suggestion is maybe you don't need the last line.. as I felt it ended stronger with.. crossing you out as if you never existed. just an opinion of one.. either way it is one I will want to read again.

you know... I like this. I've only really dated one person that really wrote. I still have a small book he put together for a writing class we took. I made sure it stays alone, where I can't find it. I went back and read some of the things he wrote when my eyes were raw. I think you are right in a way, like lawyers, good poets can woo or justify anything.

forgot to add i liked the ripping out feathers. that makes it very real. it reminded me of a tori amos song have you heard of her?

Really? I am impressed! I really really wished that I could have been born earlier if only to see her when she began, how she really put heart into it. reminded me of her song here in my head. "when I’ve gone through tough life experiences, I have always found it feels as though my feathers are plucked, although, I do manage to grow new ones;-)" I like how you put that.

A, That is a fantastic piece. I am in awe! Truly wonderful M xx

Yes, But one night in his arms, is worth a thousand at the bowling ally.Even if you average 235. C.S.B. There are times that call; when one must put on the camel hair coat, and take up a large stick and head out in to the unknown.B

None is so fascinating as the players in this drama...the glimpses into other lives, other loves. Countries across vast continents and yet all the same ...searching, searching...love life and Oneness. If the passion of your love Kalishana is anything as fiery as your poetry I say poor bastards indeed because if they have not poetry to express their loss of you it must be deep therapy they undergo.
