SOMEWHERE (Thursday Poets Rally Week 26)
Somewhere
oceans are
cold and dark
Somewhere
rain flags
silver drops
Somewhere
your voice
lost in space
Somewhere
only me
just a dream
Somewhere
my soul
torn apart
because
you
are
not
here
Somewhere

well,
it is so quiet…
thanks for the excellent job.
you always do amazing contribution!
🙂
August 13, 2010 at 3:21 pm
It is not quiet anymore Jingle…(You made me laugh) It is so much fun taking part in the rally, I enjoy it very much and love reading new poets work. Thanks for your lovely comment my friend…let’s Rally ON!!!!
August 12, 2010 at 1:16 pm
Gosh.. How can something be so sad and beautiful at the same time?!?!?!! Heart wrenching… but lovely!
The pain and the deep emotions surfaced on this one, Amanda… Reading it makes me SO thankful for what I have… phhheewww
Really brought a tear my eye… it was just so delicate and tender…
Girl, you are so talented !! Your words can work a charm over the readers… I swear!!!
Keep it up, sweets… Luvv ya!!!
And Happy Rallying too!! (maaaannnnny hugs!) 😀
August 12, 2010 at 1:32 pm
Funny thing is that with the “birth” of every poem, I find myself almost in tears too…I guess it’s just the romantic soul in me that brings all of this out!! I am so very happy that you liked it and sometimes I think people think that I’m lonely and unhappy…I am not, I think that whatever happens in our lives, happens for a reason and it makes us stronger inside. I think in my previous life I have been some other “Guinevere” and awaits my Lancelot….LOL….see, there I daydream again!! Thanks baby, you make me happy with your comments…always look forward to you coming here. Send regards to your hubby….Happy Rally to you too :):):) {{{Hugs}}}
August 12, 2010 at 5:41 pm
you ? lonely?? phhheewwww … joke!!! 🙂 You have the ability to show pain via your poems! But I am sure you are surrounded by your favorite people … and when not, you love and savor that “me” time by indulging in cooking and writing poems? Am I too off the mark in my presumptions??!! 😉
mannnny hugs, girl.. I am yet to complete my rally poem…. GOSH!!! I was watching some amazing talent competition on TV, and got carried away with all the singing and all.. now back to “versing” !!!
Hope you are having a great day!!!
August 12, 2010 at 5:59 pm
You have nailed it girlfriend…oh and forgot to add, painting (art)!!!! Not a bored or lonely moment!! Happy versing and happy rally dear one…Lovies from me to you!!!!!!!! xoxoxox
August 12, 2010 at 1:24 pm
Such a lovely ode to one’s missing love! I think your long thin form works well for this– ending like the finger of the hand of the person reaching out for what’s not there. Nicely done!

August 12, 2010 at 1:32 pm
I actually had a look at what you said and you’re right!!! Thanks my friend, Happy Rally and many Hugs to you xxx
August 12, 2010 at 1:28 pm
So beautiful and sad all at once… I am in the market for the mending of souls torn apart… when do I start? Smiles to you…sending you joy across the miles. 🙂 xxxx
August 12, 2010 at 1:38 pm
LOL…I was just thinking that I must have been some sort of a Guinevere in my previous life, always the sentiment and romantic soul when I start writing!!!! Where in the here and now I am quite content and happy….just have this “fantacy” going in my mind….that’s a good thing right?:):) 😦
Oh…just caught and felt your joy my dear friend xxx …right back at you!! oxoxox
August 12, 2010 at 1:47 pm

August 12, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Yes, sometimes when I’m feeling lonely, I’d rather be anywhere but here with me. You captured this beautifully, Amanda.
August 12, 2010 at 2:08 pm

August 12, 2010 at 2:56 pm
:):):)….thanks dear one…always happy to see you here and Happy Rally xx
August 12, 2010 at 2:37 pm
This is what “Somewhere” evoked in me 🙂
Whoever it is… I’m sure she’s somewhere and someday if fate were to have it, then we shall meet… if she’s someone I’ve known and we’ve remained friends, let that friendship remain though hearts may bloom… If she’s someone unknown, then let her fill my cup of longing and make me whole… but till we meet, the bittersweet of longing I hold, wrapped around my heart in hope
August 12, 2010 at 2:38 pm
And for some odd reason, its making me listen to “Always Somewhere” by Scorpions 🙂
August 12, 2010 at 2:58 pm
I will go and listen too, have not heard that one before….chills down my spine !! Hugs my friend xx
August 12, 2010 at 2:57 pm
You have said it so very well!! You should actually write a poem about this as well…awesome writing my friend x
August 12, 2010 at 2:52 pm

Thanks so much, I truly appreciate your support and visit so very much….sending you hugs xxx
August 13, 2010 at 6:58 am
Ohh hunny. It was like you were calling the universe into your loneliness. Summoning the ends of the earth to fill a void that can’t be filled. It was beautiful Amanda. Really top of my favorites list. With my over thinking I tend to over write so when I see a talent as yours capture so many things in so little words I’m left in awe.
August 13, 2010 at 7:39 am
I so appreciate you beautiful comment and am glad that you liked it…your support means so much to me my friend…thanks so very much xxx
August 13, 2010 at 7:49 am
That’s a cool form you’re using. The line length and spacing really give emphasis to the final “somewhere.” I like it!
August 13, 2010 at 9:12 am

This one’s a bit too close for comfort – can relate to the tides of sadness that still roll in from Somewhere … Sometimes

Thanks Ji, I have nominated already on your page. Hugs x
August 14, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Amanda:
Eloquent and a nice sense of depth — you have a unique gift in that you are able to tap into the human heart and express what so many feel but are not able to say it. People can long for some thing or rather be somewhere else at times in our life. There are moments when we just do not feel comfortable in our own skin. Nicely done.
Joanny
August 15, 2010 at 8:08 am
Thanks so much my dear friend, you have summed it up so beautifully. Sending you love across the universe xx
August 14, 2010 at 10:01 pm
