unfulfilled love - unrequited love - love relinquished - life unlived...

we all are gypsies of a sort wandering traveling through this life other lives space and time here there and yon on roads less traveled - this is a written and visual journal of my own travels - imagined and/or real - come along with me - we'll dance among the stars under the sun and over the moon - we'll share our stories of love around the campfire - come along -

poetry from the heart...


POETRY FROM THE HEART - my own words dedicated to all the words left unspoken, the acts left undone - the love unlived unfulfilled -

i dance with you...only in dreams...

tweet me, but tweet me gently, please!

silent words...


i cannot say aloud the words
that fill my heart
yet rip my soul apart
that if I said
would leave us both dissolved instead

i cannot speak
in voices heard my love for you
yet in my silent screams I do
of life within our stolen time
for we both know you are not mine

Whoever it is, he is definitely missing out on a treat.

Who is it that you write these words for, they have a depth that reaches inward, digging deeply into the closed compartments of slummbering hearts....

I always wonder too, who these words are for. so touching, so achingly heartfelt. Is it a memory of the past or the present? Love, unrequited. Never allowed into the light of day always to live in the shadows. yes, he is definitely missing out. Silly man.

gemel - .....they have a depth that reaches inward, digging deeply into the closed compartments of slummbering hearts.....
thank you for such kind words - it is true that, for me, anyway, they do go deeply into those compartments of my heart - however, neither closed nor slumbering in my own case - well, actually, perhaps closed - in the sense that there is virtually no room available in the "heart chamber" for anyone else - but never slumbering - maybe easier it sleep could come to the heart, yes?

and deb - no, not love unrequited - that might actually be less painful - but one which is relegated to the ways of these words "unspoken" for a number of reasons - don't know if that makes any sense at all - not even sure myself! ;)
