Shell Unarmed



She hides in her shell

Supertramp sounding

Some way behind

Whose lyrics..


She hides

Once more

In the shell

Last time, thought

Would never happen again

But she succeeded once more

In letting herself go and be

Charmed up

By another’s ….

Let’s see, this makes…

Which number? Oh

But this one sent you roses!


What difference does it make?


This familiarity

With the old stuff

The old routine


Determined not to leave

The foetal position

For the rest of her life

She hides in the dark shell

Which still smells

So well of the last scent.


Since the last time

She left

To have, say

Why not

Another try.

For some One

Must be different…


You fool

Still believing

They cannot all be

Exactly the same?


She knows the string so well

Yet, something she’s learnt

She’ll fall in again

And out, as if cursed

With all its bloody consequences.

There's a deep heart in that shell.
No fool to be found.You believe in love..nothing wrong with that but the person you may have thought of at the time.But there's a right person somewhere out there and you won't find them if you stay in that shell.

Deep poem.

Thanks for sharing and I like this song too.

It's a vicious cycle, I hate it when life goes round and round and never moving on. People and events just come back to haunt you. :(

Stop reading my mail, Dulce!

Sweeter Dulce-Peep...your "man" is out there somewhere, maybe even far away. But you will find him. Rather HE will find you? Or maybe you will both just run smack-dab into each other!

Rich or Poor, Thin or not, Aged or Ageless, you will know he is yours, and he will know you belong to him:

If now, forever!
If not....never!

Such a deep meaning in that poem. Shells are comfortable, oh, I wish I had one for myself. Believing and daring is harder and harder. A moment in a sweet shell would give me some rest. But it's no time to hide. It's time to "stand up and fight!" Muchos besos.

Just beautiful... a longing heart, looking for love to fulfill the emptiness.

Hugs Dulce, my dear friend!

I have learned to never give up hoping, although that is one of a few struggles of mine.

I know I have to believe all things come to those who wait?

Or somethings we can keep forever, close in heart , touch once in awhile , smell the scent, but have to let go until next time.with consquences..

Deep breath.. SIGN.. such love yet sad. SMILES dearest sweetest Dulce

Ok this lady seems so sad... Like if I was there I would try to get her to say something like this...

There is probably not a connection but I keep thinking she sells seashells by the seashore...

I like your unique take on shell as a focal point of your work.

Someone will find that shell and this will open.
A special one, only He.

Hey
thank you everyone
I've been able to leave my shell
for as long as
I have something else to say.

I'll go and keep on selling seashells by the seashore...
Very appropriate tongue twister Tom, thank you.
