Period


Time of period

And periods of time

Influence

To such an extent

This body and mind


Tears out of control

And thoughts of the gone ones

And tears of joy

And mood out of its orbit

Mixing in this

Body and mind


Knowing they’ll leave

And come again

These periods of time

This time of period


eventually always

also moving

my soul...

Wow. This rings so true. The up and down roller coaster we go on when we are greiving. Great Post!

Dulce, you might guess that I have never had a "period"--grin! But I have heard enough about them from Peeps who HAVE. And...no thanks...

Even during this period, you express perfectly what half of us know already, and half of us do not.

SO much talent, so well-used. YOURS!

Love,
Florida Peep

Sweeter Poet Dulce--
I did not know...are you grieving? Possibly I misunderstood terribly. If so, I apologize...no bad intention from me, WHATSOEVER--EVER! I hope you realize that.

Steveroni, I also perceived it as you saw it.

Beautiful.

Lovely Dulce,
Because of "this time of period, these periods of time", and because of our moods, all of us can feel we are ALIVE.
To show our tears and smiles is what make us realize that we are more than a body...we have "something" that guards our feelings, which some people call "SOUL". Let's say, in other words: our "SPARK".
In my opinion, that is what make different each and everyone of us.
It's clear that not only I loved your poem, but also it was thought provoking!
Hugs,
YFFP

Sheri said...

you certainly captured the attention of many of us with your latest post! which of us hasn't struggled with this 'time'? i honestly wished i could spend that time more introspective instead of crying and wanting to go to bed!
you've written so beautifully about a subject that not many want to touch, dulce...good for you!

Nevine Sultan said...

Down down down... that's how it feels, yeah? I know. I hope you are resting easy, Dulce.

What's beautiful about this poem is that is can be understood and enjoyed on so many levels, as illustrated in the above comments. An exploration of female fertility, maybe a blessing and a curse, or perhaps a poignant reflection on the transient nature of time, or even a despairing chronicle of grief...or all three, that's how I read it. Either way, a great poem, elegantly written by an equally elegant poet.

Dulçe ♥ said...

All comments... so very especial. I love writing and what you, my beloved readers, get out of it.
But, please, allow me to choose the one which gets better and so much nearer and clearer to what I've meant here, today...> YOURS, SAM dear!

This female thing is not just like going to the toilet every day. It involves so many other things... together with the moon, and the sea and how it influences our sacred female nature- for good or better...

I've never read anything about it... as far as I am concerned.(So youa re right Sheri) In fact, I am thinking about writing another, maybe more serious, more deeply one on this subject.

Thanks to you my dear ones...

I liked this,Dulce.

Periods of time are like times being put under spells of memories.It is up to us to live them wisely.

And you Dulce dear-write them well ;)

GYPSYWOMAN said...

El tiempo que nos arrastra, que nos envuelve en minutos, en ese periodo de tiempo en que los sentimientos giran y se recomponen, y se mueven y sienten... abrazos

Ileana said...

Our bodies and minds experience both extreme pleasure and pain and nothing ever stays the same. We are full of emotions, Chica!

Que escape son tus poemas, primita. Que bendición.

Te deseo un buen fin de semana gozando en lo tuyo. xo

Man Named Kim said...

powerful words and a state worth creating around - it is about the preparation for creation after all... the passing of one opportunity and the promise of the next... it seems this poem is at once about a grief and bio-chemical period...
