With my thoughts
Your heart is next to mine
Caressed by hands of love
My love
Lips to lips, a gentle kiss
Tracing the reality back to my heart
I roll over, and the moment takes its escape

I used to be very uncomfortable putting words to paper. There was something about baring one's soul, stepping out and waving that flag. It was uncomfortable. it felt slightly traitorous to my soul. Oh, my soul! Until I discovered that poetry very often can be written, with no string attached. That made me rethink how I was writing and what I could leak out into the public. Would I show too much of me? Because that was verboten, hanging out for all to see. to analyze, to fix what was broken. Was there something broken? I find that people aren't necessarily broken, although they can be, but, their words are brilliantly placed. By the same token, must one be happy to write positive? I personally find it easier to let the words flow if I am in that place. The words nearly fall out of my mouth, my hands barely able to contain them. I have learned to become just a little more comfortable with the written word. I have even allowed myself to explore into the unknown.
The night almost gone
Stealing your silences
Denying you the moment
Of understanding
The root of my soul, my heart, my desire
(¸.•´♥ (¸.•´ ♥ She sighs
Leaving the gate of my heart undone
Revealing exposed to the world that was watching
Stealing my perception
Of love, everlasting
My heart to be mended along with the fence
Shrouded this morning in a blanket of dew
Proposal of meandering the pasture instead
Looking
But, only by the heart
As it should be
My love, my love
So the joy may touch your soul

I held an atlas in my lap
Ran my fingers across the whole world
And whispered,
"Where does it hurt?"
It answered,
"Everywhere"
"Everywhere"
I always thought your prose was brilliant and did my best to encourage you to embrace it and do more.
No need to worry about being seen as broken. The fact is everyone is broken. It is part of the human condition. We are all part of the Isand of Misfit Toys. It is a pleasure to see you grow.
@old-guy-photos Well, that isn't that the truth of the matter. If there is anyone here on the platform that I can count on for support, it was you. You pushed me harder than anyone to be me and to write my prose or poetry, even when I was getting only your vote from it. That was a hard pill to swallow, of course, but, I got over it.
It's not always about the money! Well, it rarely is and honestly, for me, it is not even about being broken. I am so grateful for you and I will never forget how much you helped me grow.
If I haven't said it enough, I appreciate you. Even when I don't. OMG... You know I am kidding, you little Diva boy... You still have to be my BFF. There is no getting out of that one.

I appreciate you. Even when I don't, too. Oh yes, dear ;) Say, you cannot call me Diva boy in public OMG lol!!! Well did you make your BFF payment though.. Oh yes actually you did so we are all good. All kidding aside, that is what the last F in BFF is meant to mean, even if you are the largest Diva girl of all time - Oh My Gawd!

Just let the words come out, your writing is beautiful. U&R :-)
You are always so kind. Thank you so much! So, @keithboone, I may have taken your name in vain over at the old man's place. I can't remember the whole thing, but, I tagged you so you wouldn't think I was sneaking it. :)
You are always fun to play with.
Tag!!! You're it!!!!
And thank you for the upvote and resteem and lovely words!

Yes, I saw your video with the old guy and I was blown away, thank you! I liked your comments about the haunted golf course beside "the lake". That lake is sometimes known as the Pacific Ocean, LOL! I think you mentioned being a little frightened of the ghosts? Something like that. In any case, I tagged you in my most recent post, and I hope it doesn't scare you! :-)
Oh, no!!! I wasn't talking about the video. Pfft! I don't blow my own horn (I never did learn how to do that darn trumpet) It was a post of a different color. No worries. You will come across it.
No harm, no foul. You tagged me!!! Oh, no!!! I ain't afraid of no ghosts!!!

Hehe! Yes! You noticed! LOL
Very artistic photographs.
Poetry is mind of the Universe speaking healing to our pain and song to our joys.
Thank you. I love to play with the words of poetry. Sometimes they speak loud and other times they don't want to say a word.
Poetry makes sense. Develop and release writing. You are the best example.
I have a problem and I ask: poetry is a goal? Do you vibrate every verse or become a routine?
Anyway, the first photo is my favorite for a long time.
I like the first photo also. I am not sure what you mean I have a problem and I ask: poetry is a goal? Do you vibrate every verse or become a routine?
I want to understand it. Write it in Romanian so I can translate better the meaning. Thanks! I don't want to misunderstand!
I wanted to ask if writing poetry is technical, respecting some rules or feeling every verse, so you see life and everything that surrounds you, with great sensitivity.
In Romana: Poezia se simte? or Poezia este un fel de a scrie si transmite ceva folosind o tehnica speciala?
It depends honestly. There are different forms of poetry such as a haiku, that follow exact rules. See here
The kind of poetry I write is actually very simple in that it can be something I am feeling, that sensitivity that you talk about or it can be something I perceive, knowing how it feels and describing what I think it feels like. There are no real rules to respect as far as I am concerned except for one: It must flow somehow.
If it is prose, it is more like me talking to you, discussing something, so much like a ramble. See here
I personally like prose, it gives me the freedom I need! :) I hope this helps in some way. If not, come back and readdress it to me. I don't mind!
In fact, I know what poetry is. I wanted to see how you perceived it. You perceive it correctly and you write beautiful and sensual poems ... a bit of exaltation, but I know you know that.
Yes... sometimes over the top! Yes! But, they come from the heart, so, I guess that will be okay.
I'm sure of this!
Excellent writing friend
