Riposo

RiposoYou closed the door
And the silence
Left behind by that slam
Brought to me
A thousand thoughts
I would have never imagined
I’d have
As when that adrenalin
Told you it was the last second of your life
Such a short shot
Oh time!
You closed the door
And the attachment
Together with such freedom
Did not let me breathe
That silence and shock
Oh peace, please...
And I knew so well
There it would be
For me
To enjoy
To endure
To grow
Wiser
Self-reliant
Independent…
At long last
After a few cries
After all
The same old tears
No real fear
That’s given by the
Oh so many years
And the
Oh I knew
It would be over
All over
So soon
At long last
My sweet
Sweeter freedom…
On both sides
Welcome,
New lazy afternoons …

Relationships have a way of making you want to be single... and being single makes you want to in a relationship...
It depends on how long the silence will be liberating
This is a very good poem. I like the final lines. There is something to be said for the “Sweeter freedom.
Aha! The 'real' Dulce is back--with a winner, so well-written. This could only be posted after many months of enjoyment of your "sweet Sweeter freedom"...and those "New lazy afternoons!
Dear Dulce, this is good! Even I heard that door slam...BAMMM!
♥
the 'at long last' line was the heaviest for me...as it felt like it would just happen again...nice write...
Love the pic and love the OS. Excellent!
sometimes it's just the sound of the door, not the real absence that gives the tears.
Freedom only wanted when we felt prisioner.
Interesting...and yes freedom is always sweet!
Possibilities and the new road ahead after turning off a well-traveled lane.
Nice to meet you, glad to be blog surfing this night.
stupendo il quadro e stupenda la poesia
Dearest:
More than the actual 'act' of ending, it is the mind which runs and reruns the entire emotion making us feel despondent. But freedom from the thoughts is what makes it truly liberating. I think liberation itself has many degrees to it. we are the ones who define its limits, isn't it?
Joy and much love always,

what a roller coaster ride! this leaves much to the imagination, to intertwine with what you'e expressing and feeling... I felt almost a part of the piece.
Breaking up we go through all kinds of different emotions at different stages...You captured them here :) I know this feeling all too well...
loved this poem...was reading the comments...we all feel it at times but i could never be single...i need the company even if at times i want to walk away...what a mess emotions are...thanks for sharing with One Shot...pete
I could relate to this poem through the growth in my program. In early relationships when I heard the door slam I would run and quickly chase the person, try to salvage, to fix, to avoid a broken heart. I never took the time to walk through the pain and grow until I started working my program. Wonderful reminder......
ah, the bittersweet taste of freedom! just beautifully written, dear dulce! simply beautifully!
and while i am here, just as an aside, i'm afraid i missed a few of my dear blogfriends here recently in letting you know of some of my personal distractions taking me away from visiting - but my only living sibling was taken very critically ill several weeks ago - hospitalized for emergency surgery and then in icu before having been now moved to a rehab facility - in the midst of this, i was dealing with a bit of some sort of a bug that just refuses to leave and i am also planning a relocation half way cross country in two weeks - and in the meantime, i have two little ones several days/nights a week while my daughters are in class - so - my visiting has been more than limited - i tell you this just so you will know that it has not been by my own hand that i have been taken away at times ;) i know you will understand - as always, your visits do always bring such a breath of fresh air for which i am so so grateful!

funny how some relationships start with so much passion and then come to a place of needing to let go to feel free again...Great writing. I love that we all take away something so different...Have a great weekend ok....
interesting take on both the sides of life. end of one relationship doesn't mean that its the end of the world. you learn from each of them move on and yeah being single is not bad at all. both the sides of life are worth living if you know how to live them.really nice. keep writing.
Looking forward past the pain of loss is the best way to get there. You've described the journey so beautifully.

Sometimes it's necessary to close some doors in life... and what's more important: TO KEEP THEM LOCKED!!
Love this way of thinkin'
My favourite stanza of this piece is the first one. It has a passionate and powerful beauty to it, it immediately immerses one in the wonder of your poem. And I love the painting too.
hey lady - just dropping by to say hello - hope your world is treating you well!
The taste of freedom is heady and filled with sweet perfume...
The new lazy afternoons bit was my favorite part. Sometimes, when we make a responsibility out of someone's presence, that very desired presence becomes oppressive. I can feel these words... thumping... and banging... and taking their repose. Mmmmmmmm...
Hugs,

its nice to taste freedom, like finding creativity in solitude,but one always misses the one person!
Odio el sonido de una puerta al cerrarse... por eso, siempre las mantengo abiertas.
Besazos cielo!!!
