I sigh
Shrug my shoulders
Someone's taken those
Words out of me
Myself?
I myself
Have saved my work
No need to
Make the effort
To write today
But I must restate
And clearly
Utter again
Because of you
I love you
Because of you
I love myself
Well, I know...
Love is the same old story-
I won't take that
Wishes I'll keep still-
No fights
That's vain
I've run out of ideas
Repeated sights
The sea
The mountain
The sky
And then
Myself
I've run out of ideas
It's the same old story
Dry rains
And drizzles
No out ways
It's invalid
It's obscene
Run out of ideas
my friends-
not crazy
not lazy
Just tired
Could make the effort
Or better, go to bed.
Run out of ideas...
And no time for myself
But I must restate
And clearly
Utter again:
Because of you
I love you
Because of you
I love myself.

There comes a time when we need to have a break. Mine could take a few days or a few weeks. One never knows.
This blog is a big part of my life, so I couldn’t say.
Some people did not get to understand my previous poem… I cannot , I don’t like to explain , but one thing’s for sure, it has nothing to do with my holiday, or my going on holiday. In fact, quite the opposite, these days I am busier than ever at work, and I’ll be so for another five or six weeks.
That’s the reason why I am leaving for as long as I need.
I’ll see you soon. I love you all, and YES because of you I’ve learnt to love myself so much better.
Thanks for being there.
Hugs
Dulce

I hear ya! The great thing about knowing yourself is knowing when to pull back and when to rush forward...
:)
I think you say it well here.
DULCE! You, TOO? Hey, I am beginning, just beginning to believe that stress is one of my enemies.
Without most of stress, I have energy to battle some others: Pride, procrastination, (eating?), Peep-pleaser, a perfectionist most sloppy, HERSHEY BARS!--and etc., on and ON.
So I backed away yesterday, and here commenting today, SEE? That's ANOTHER enemy, obsessive behavior. Oh well, I'll just take a nap (Siesta?).
"Nap" sounds like, so lazy. "Siesta" sounds like performing a necessary job function, or so I hear it. Bye, see you when you return.
Take Care...Dulce!
What I can say? Just let me tell you that you're a lovely person, full of emotions and feelings, I hope everyone looks a bit like you. I fully understand your words, and I hope during this summer break you find everything you expect. We talked last week about some things, but believe me when I say that you're special for many reasons. Really, I hope that life will give you so much love and affection, the same that you give us without expecting anything in return.
You know where I'm and also know that if you need something (except money), I'm for anything.
Try to enjoy the summer and rest a lot. See you soon!!

A beautiful poem. And I know exactly how you feel. My blog
time has slowed down and it is
a good thing. There is time to
think and tinker and write more
poetry for publishing.
...for just a moment let me hold your face in my hands and tell you 'thank you'...for coloring my world with your love, your passion and your depth of soul. dulce, enjoy every moment of your rest, my dear friend :)
dear Dulce..
even i felt this way few days ago..tried to get it right,still the words haunt me.i know i am nobody but myself so in a way we are all driven to where we finally belong to.the words only last and with such powerful wings they fly where mere bodies can't :) come back when you are ready to fly higher :)
will keep rereading you all the way..:)
big hug.
Thank you for your poems.
There is a time to take up something and a time to let it go - albeit not necessarily forever.
Take good care of youself.
i loved the flow of your poem; how you didn't seem to have put much thought into it but simply, let your heart speak. Having some time-out is a good idea to renew yourself and your thoughts, but don't be away for too long, we'll miss you!
You'll be missed, but I hear ya. I break is sometimes needed :)
A break is good. To learn to love oneself through loving others. Be well and look after yourself XX
I totally get this Dulce...I'll miss you...you've become a part of me...of my life...and your words has really helped me to not be afraid...to trust...to love...to be open. Take gentle care of you ok. Sarah
Dulce, I gotta tell you, these words are of the highest of human love; the noun, the fact, after the action of the verb:
For (because of) you, I love you.
For you, I love myself.
However COULD love on earth be better worded? Sounds like, "What you SAY, what you DO, how you THINK, who you ARE--these are why I love. And because of those same attributes, qualities in you, I can now love myself". I say "How Sweet!" Is that why you are named "Sweeter Poetry"?
OTOH, love for GOD means emptying myself completely, giving up, surrendering ALL what I have, ALL what I desire, only to inhabit God, and Him me. That is near perfect love--I am a long way from there.
Sorry for using your blog as mine, but I have left blogging for awhile, and find no place else to publish my thoughts this day. Of course, you can "REJECT"!!
--grin!
Take Care...Dulce!

Es bueno y necesario descansar, amiga mía. Te echaremos de menos!!!
Besos mil!!!
Writer's block, tiredness, stress - we have all been its victims at some point. And we all need breaks. I hope yours is relaxing, refreshing and fulfilling, I shall eagerly await your return to blogging, but always remember to take as long as you need in finding you way once more.
Touching words as you leave us...for a day, a week or longer, but you made us stronger, Chica...and know that we love you too, primita!
Descansa, goza...vive tu vida pero no nos olvide, ok?? Besos, Ily
We all need a break from time to time. Enjoy yours!
You must be really tired, Sweetie...
Take a break, breathe deeply and please, DO NOT STRAY TOO FAR FROM US, NOT TOO FAR FROM ME.
You know where I am, and the way to reach me.
Please find and save a few minutes to share a cup of coffee.
Greetings from near,
Toni
I love you back dear Dulce :)
Joy always,
Susan
