You humble me, sir.....thank you so very much.  I guess I am very much a romantic in many, many ways.....and then I turn around and my pragmatic nature causes many to stop and stare.  Of course, I don't see a conflict.....I wouldn't take for the good times that have come with the bad; it seems most of us can't have one without the other....at least not in real life.....perhaps I do need to try some fiction - just for a lark!  Thanks again, so much Hemlocker.

For gosh sakes, Krisles,

CunningLinguist is so right about you being the queen of romance.  Are you a noted romance novelist going incognito on Blogit?  If not, get to work, lady!  There's a lot of published stuff out there that doesn't approach your eloquence in this area~.  Hemlocker

Krisles--

This did look familiar--but the warm and sincere expressiveness has not waned.  Hemlocker

I love this--how beautifully expressed it was...and I like that it ends on a hopeful note instead of how mine would end, still in the despairing mood...lol...this was really, really good!!

I'm not familiar with that song I don't think. At least, not from those lyrics you wrote. I'm not an expert in love, but I am in love ;-)

The person who has the potential to hurt you the most is the one you give the most of You to. The alternative is to never experience that flying. It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing.

As so often, we are in accord in our thinking.....and I hadn't seen that take on the word intimacy....thanks for sharing that....I love it!  You know how often I evoke flying and swinging (as in real swinging!)....and they do so go with love, I think.  Now, have you heard that line from a wonderful song....I think I've got it as my favorite quote on my page...."One should never fall in love, but rise to the occasion"....  I see multiple meanings behind those words...besides the obvious noble one.  Too many folks seem to shy away from the potential of getting hurt, once they have been....such a shame....each time up to bat, your odds of really knockin'  it out of the park are better - well, that's my take on the situation anyway...

Love leaves us at our most vulnerable.

it's the ultimate risk, because you're investing the sum of your being into one person.  Intimacy, into-me-see, as the saying goes.  You don't fall in love, you fly in love.  And the higher you get, the scarier the potential fall is.  But you're 'in love' so you don't even recognize the possibility of a fall.  The greatest reward naturally requires the greatest amount of risk.  Love is worth it, and love gives you wings.

Thank you sooooo much.....you humble me.  Sometimes, the inspiration fairy whacks me over the head and it spills out.....others, I just sit.....I sit a lot.....

Thank you.....but, I don't really see it as sad....I wouldn't take for the experience, not one second of it.  Sure it hurt...hurt like hell....but I survived, and like I say, I was ready to go again...that's the nature of love; "every step I took.....". Like I just told Mike, I'm a firm believer in "no guts, no glory"....and the glory was WONDERFUL!!!!!

Ohhhh, sweetness.....come here and let me ((((hug)))).  I'm not at all surprised.....you're too adorable not to have broken some hearts and, karma being what it is, had it returned.  I've always thought that one of the great things about experience is that you learn you do survive; hopefully, that gives you the "no guts, no glory" confidence to keep goin' until you find the angel who will keep your heart in her hands.....along with all the other parts you like so much.... - glad you liked it!

i like it

this may surprise you, but i have had my heart broken by a few little fillies myself.  i remember almost being shocked to remember that i'm still the same me as i was before (albeit with a slightly battered ego).

Passion...ignore reference to swish...I was so excited to see you....

I forgot which post I was answering you in!!  You just made my day dropping in! Timmy came back today, too....his dad had surgery and he's been out awhile.  I'll go see if you've done an update post.  Dang!  I'm sooo excited to talk to you....

Didn't realize you were such a good poet.
