KISMET (One-Shot Wednesday)
I want to get lost
in the mazes
of your heart
in sacred corners
to cure my
solitude
within your hands
my hunger lies
poems you write
the tears
it brings
I stagger
through walkways
of your soul
and swim
in the pools
of your eyes
with all that’s
within me
to live
to breathe
to cry
I wish
it was
so ….
KISMET

I have to be honest, I have a hard time reading your poetry. Not because it’s bad, but because it is wonderfully full of emotion and love. That simply has not been my experience and I find your poems almost painful at times. That lets me know how good you really are.
I’m not going to stop reading though! One day, I hope my experiences have changed enough that they don’t hurt.
August 4, 2010 at 7:33 am
Aww Jhannet, I always so look forward to your comments and you say the nicest things which I so appreciate!! I know exactly where you’re coming from, I write these and it helps to get rid of all the overwhelming emotions…which we can’t always talk about!! I am very happy you like reading them. Sending you lots of love my dear frind. ~ xxx
August 4, 2010 at 7:38 am
Exactly!
BTW, I’m sending friendship awards your way … http://randomthoughtsandmusings.wordpress.com/2010/08/02/friendship-awards/
