did you save anything, gain anything, learn anything? tell me about that part of it. tell me a sweet, sad story.

i find my truth anew each day. somepeople are surprised when they drag theirs out, and it doesn't fit them anymore. he may regret dousing the light; he may never look back. i suspect his blinders keep him going. to look around; well, is unsettling. one loses one's balance. sob away, ma soeur de la coeur.

yes. my parents lived a lie. i saw through it. to see the cycle continue heightens my sadness; to know what we could have given each other, and will never... enough. i have been crying at my desk again. i am true to me; funny thing is, for him to be true to himself, he would have had to be untrue.
one of life's little ironies.

'she wonders' is the only one (for him) that i have put here. it is not over for me; i still sift him out of my thoughts, when i catch the memories. more thoughts of him will be posted; they must be pared down first, and the core bared.

love song. it's my violin. it's him. it's how i'll make it this winter. your november foothills poem: i don't run to the hills, i drown. this winter, i will drown in her voice, instead of his.

she does indeed want to go there with him, and for him to leave all else behind, and be hers, even if only for the time they are together. she wants this very much, and would gladly pay the price; he cannot afford what i ask...all.

i will always love; i have never seen that fade. i differentiate between pride and dignity. for me, to hold myself up after the separation is all the dignity i can muster; pride never rears its head. i recognize that a man may choose to remain married, unhappily, if he feels that taking a mistress will harm his relationship with his children. i see that it would, for we began to posess each other. there would be not much left for them, if we had.... so, i allow him his choice, even though it is not mine. i love, i respect, i continue. maybe that is not at all what she meant when she wrote this; but it is what it meant to me when i read it.

i understood. i understand with every fibre. why are people threatened by a love like this? can love ever be wrong? i think, no. i think that actions can be misguided and selfish at times, or, they can be the opposite. but a love such as this, feeling that ethereal rope which connects your heart to his, regardless of all else, is pure. other things in life may prevent you from wrapping yourselves in each other; it is that way often enough. and to live with the dignity of loving from afar without soiling your own heart, that is heroic. thank you kthulah.

with that information, i like it much more. i wonder if the idea of telepathy needs to be made clearer, so that the poem is more accessible? perhaps i am too dense.

i like the imagery and ideas expressed, but feel like it would sing with a little editing. work on the last 2 lines a little more? they are not strong enough to close what you have opened.

this is sharp, by the way, the porn-star haikus. i started integral yoga this week, mostly to cope with that same stress. my diaphragm hurts from the breathing, but i do feel calmer...
fuck, august is hard for me too. you damn leos are my kryptonite.
