Twisted Notions
A twisted notion is no excuse
To continue on the quest
To seek a common ground
That never will exist.
Is loneliness the driving force?
Which leads to such a stoop?
A nonsense course, towards no end.
Denying any hope?
Friendship? No! It never was.
Delusions in the brine.
The sweetest days, blue like chaff
Of anguish, yet to find.
Friendships slip and friendships fall
In truth, they will return.
No need to tauter or delay
If cherished is the friend.
Friendships fail and friendships grow
Tempered in the fire.
But friendships fade, when one perceives
No friend was ever there.
So, continue on, with open heart
Without bitter beat.
No loss can close an open doorÂ…
Relief shall fill the void.
Welcome Guadalupe. Are you near New Mexico?
Lovely words Guadalupe107.
Guadalupe, lovely thoughts. Hope to hear more.
More words tossed your way!
hello to those who posted....
does this group of words speak to you in any way?
what is it saying?
can someone remind me.....
that is, if I knew...
Hi Guadalupe. I really like what you wrote. It makes me think of my former marriage.
G.
Is it about the need for friendship?, ... & discovering who is a real, lasting friend & whose friendship was an illusion? The disappointments, the hopes ... when one wants to connect with others.
And having the grace to appreciate a real friend, & allowing the time for a friendship that needs time to grow ... & sadly, letting go of those "friends" who weren't really there at all? Maybe they weren't what they appeared to be, or else have out-grown the friendship?
Msolga!
You reminded me where I when I wrote that.
Well over 10 years ago.
And...who it was about.
Sometimes we already know, don't we: addressing your comments.
Oops....
Where I WAS when .......
That is beautiful! Your poem speaks to me of shattered illusions, of trust borne out of loneliness and despair. I hear of a relationship that appeared to be, but really never was. I also perceive a note of hope, the realization that one may grow from disappointment, and become open to new, more solid relationships.
Chatoyant....
Chatoyant,
If you related to your former marriage to those words, at first the void isa relief. Hopefully, a lesson learned. For me, I have headed such relationships off at the pass.
"BEGIN AS YOU INTEND TO PROCEED."
Like me, my wish for you is that your life is richer, even for that experience. To appreciate the light, one must go through the darkness.
Msolga, you nailed it, in MY particular circumstance. but words are meant to speak to each individual, usually in a different way...hopefully! Phoenix, too. It *was* dramatic at the time. Now, I can not believe I was so accepting, in a manner that was not positive.
Next group of words will be more upbeat. {AS IF......]
