Somewhere in the middle
of discomfort
lies peace
waiting to be embraced
again
soon.
The thunder pounds outside,
inside,
drumming against my chest
as I wait for sleep.
The rain whips the windows
with heaviness
as my emotions
run down,
trickling to the pond
and I
find dreams moving
further and further away
while thoughts of you move
closer & closer.
Tonight I miss you
through this torrential excess
that perfectly sets
the backdrop for
what we do best…
love one
another
endlessly
without
a beginning_______ line
or
an end.
“Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.” – Bob Marley

very sweet and nostalgic!

Thank you, sweetness

I love this piece… especially the placement of the ‘further and further away’ … I have felt this piece … been there a lot.

Thank you but I am disappointed because I had added specific fonts in “word” as I was typing it. They were bold and had different shapes creating more of a cascade. But as always, when I copy and past on WordPress it goes away. It is what it is.
Love is like that.. Comes and goes depending on the thoughts.

I totally understand what u mean about the fonts and stuff… I have poems that have specific placements on the page … then I put them in WordPress and it’s all left justified. booo hisss…. totally feel you, hun. But great write regardless!

Likewise. Have a blessed day.

You are so good with words I almost felt it was my own thoughts..
Jan 30, 2013 @ 22:17:05
You are very kind. Thank you.
Jan 30, 2013 @ 22:18:32
Its not kindness its just what comes into my mind
Jan 30, 2013 @ 22:21:39
Well then I thank you for sharing.
Jan 30, 2013 @ 22:28:29
I have similar thoughts and it feels good, not being alone..
There is a magic in words, they are able to pull out your emotions and the context, so you can come out of yourself and into yourself, but by a different door…
Jan 30, 2013 @ 22:32:02
Your words and form of expression are magical. I don’t (I can’t) take credit for what comes through on paper or computer. The words just flow out whenever they are ready. Sometimes when time passes I re-read a poem I don’t know how it was created. I rarely remember any of the poems or essays once I write them. That’s how I know they are not for me. Thank you.

Im a foreigner so I dont know your common expressions I form my own. What I tell you is, I truly like your relation to yourself and whats hidden beyond. To me language is just a facilitator, true meaning and power is in your presence to your coherence. And thus the muses whispers in your ear..
Jan 30, 2013 @ 23:08:37
Thank you! Where are you from?
Jan 30, 2013 @ 23:12:43
Please forgive me, I cant tell you in public, because I want to be at least slightly anonymous. You may say Im a mixed north European.

I understand. Your language skills are incredible. You manipulate the English language like an expert. Kudos.
Jan 30, 2013 @ 23:20:20
You are too kind
I guess I should live in an English speaking country. The words comes likes whispers like a said, but it is sometimes difficult to interpret. If I read Shakespeare I almost feel his presence, talking to me without words.
Jan 30, 2013 @ 23:21:52
😄absolutely. There is nothing like words
Jan 30, 2013 @ 23:24:10
I understand you have some kind of burden, I hope you can handle it?
Jan 30, 2013 @ 23:22:47
It sounds pretentious but it really isn’t..
Jan 30, 2013 @ 23:23:38
I didn’t take it like that. I take it just like you…
Jan 30, 2013 @ 23:24:59
I know you are a kin of mine
Jan 30, 2013 @ 23:29:51
Good night I have to go to sleep now, Ive had fever for couple of days and tomorrow I have get up. Thank You for your time, Take Care!

Bob Marley actually has a lot of cool quotes.
Great poem, per usual, Millie.
