'Not Allowed'

Your poetry just gets better & better, Jjorge. I love these lines --

And I will make of me, a friend,
Then, clothed in friendship's proper dress

Piffka

Thank you, as usual you are too kind.

jjorge,

You wear your heart on your sleeve beautifully.
I like your poetry very much, and I sure relate to this one.
(especially, 'stilled yearnings speak, though not aloud'.)
Pray.... continue.

This is marvelous, jjorge. Once again, you have found words for feelings most people find too deep for expression.

I know the place where you find yourself now, too well in fact, and your words are simply...perfect.

In gratitude....

Eva

Jackie

Thank you. I will continue. I hope it doesn't sound pathetic but my affair-that-never-happened has left me with an overflowing reservoir of feelings that crave expression. (resupplied, I suppose by my continuing contacts with JD)


Eva,

Thank you too, for your kind words.
In recent days poems have become my self-therapy and the positive responses of you and Jackie, Piffka, Diane and a few others have have been very validating.

I like it, jjorge. I can really relate to being stuck in "The Friend Zone".

Snood,

Thanks.

Glad you liked it. I like your phrase about "...being stuck in the 'friend Zone' ".
That just about says it all.

'Not Allowed' is my seventh poem to/about JD* and there are at least three more that I've begun but haven't yet completed...
(Yep, I guess you could say I've got a 'thang' about her)
Anyway, I'll take her friendship, if that's all she can offer... I really like being around her.

best wishes jjorge


PS
Although we haven't communicated very much directly, I've read many of your posts on A2K and feel like I know you.



* If you're interested they're all here on A2K (I guess I'm using it as my heartbreak hotel )

I have not commented on your writings before, but, I read most of it and I truly enjoy what you bring us. Thanks.

Thank you Edgar, you're very kind.

I'm off now to peruse your gallery.

I just posted a piece begging help. I then read this wondwerful nay, mornful piece and am at first touched by the memories of my past it brings forth and am also tempted to retract my paltry attempt at prose.

I have enjoyed this series of poems very much!

Thank you Morganwood. ..but please don't denigrate your own efforts. I have read enough of your posts to see you as a sensitive and reflective person... a person of real feelings and ideas. I am not much more than a novice but I've learned that the way to improve on our writing is to KEEP ON writing, KEEP ON discussing your writing with others and KEEP ON reading what others write.

In friendship,
jjorge
