Danae



How much have we grown?

What is it we knew yesterday

That now we don’t know ?

Where was it gone

When it left

And we knew

It was forever

But denied to accept?

Why did we insist

On having

Which was not created,

Expected to be ours?

I am dying

I am crying

I am dining

You are

Wherever you are

Doubting

Whether

It does affect Me

Why- or maybe you are just asleep

Please leave me alone

Only gives me

More of that crying

Dying

Flying

Sighing

Dining

Smiling

At those jokes I find funny

No more…

Miming or lying.

My real feelings

Keep on hiding.

Beautiful deep poem

The last four lines sounds like a revelation to me. Isn't it how it is with almost all of us? - Our "real feelings keep on hiding."

Beautiful poem!

your words remind me that i'm in this marriage for the long haul and the trip just isn't that fun right now...the jokes most assuredly aren't funny any more and i, keep on hiding. how is it that you can write so eloquently, as if it were your own, yet so many of us are written into it?dulce, this is marvelous but so painful!

Dulce, you took the words from my heart!

it's okay to want to shut down and escape the world. We need to do that in order to heal.
And keep on writing and letting those emotions flow...

I wish you a great weekend Twin and so much love~ xxoo

Reading u is a perfect excuse to escape for a while!

Tk-u!
PS: footnotes make reference to Klint ... I suppose you mean Gustav "Klimt", Austrian painter and author of "The Kiss".

no rhyme for the reason... yet you seemed to have found it. :)

The up and down, the ride of a roller coaster of emotions. I find it fascinating and heart-wrenching all wrapped in one special little sick package. It is a bit of cruelty, isn't it?

More of that crying Something I know all too well. Love this one, Dulce.

it might be wonderful to uncover our real feelings...or it might be disastrous! poems tell the truth, but are also mysteries

Sweeter Dulce.
Is it not true that if "my real feelings keep on hiding", one day I may not be able to find them anywhere?

I must know myself (and I'm still learning) before I can know another. I must be true to myself before I can be true to another. **Actually, these are just food for thought. NOT axioms, OK?**

You will feel better tomorrow...

Ya know, I look for deeper meanings, of which there may or may not be.
So I neglect to say this: Your writing has progressed SO must throughout this past year, for the good--it IS GooooD! The written word in the hands of an expert, describes (betrays?) our feeling better than our speaking. And as one above said...there is STILL the mystery.

You're becoming a master of that "mystery"! Thank You, Dulce.

Conjured up feelings frm previous marriage. Great expression of feelings that most choose not to reveal. Great Post!
