Good morning my dear Sinome! I was quite taken by your comment at my blog regarding writing poetry in form. If I saw you trying to write in form poetry I might run to Florida and take your keyboard away from you. lol Seriously, the reason you have no desire to write in form, although I am going to let you know you do write a form of poetry, is because you are a lyric poet. There are not that many around. The reason it flies off the top of you head is because it is the poets thoughts that are revealed. In essence it is your voice in the poem or first person.

I don't know how much you have studied poetry, not of significance except I would not want to inadvertently offend, but you use a lot of literary devices that enhance the dreamy imagery. I see similes, metaphors, and analogies in the presentation of the imagery. Although I know your work quite well I can see the ocean when I read it, the raindrops become magical when they hit the windows in your poetry, love is strong and compassionate whether it is beginning or ending; remarkably your imagery gives great hope when it is in its glory and sweet departure in ending. I purposely come later to read your poems because I want to see what others see as well. Each time you pick up a new reader I smile with pride because they are immediately affected by the imagery, on all senses. I still am. You can also throw down the gauntlet, isn't that the living end as a poet, the finality is shrieking but I have a sneer that bodes dramatic imagery too! Ah, the pen!

So my dear, not to worry about form! You have the great gift a poet could hope to have, from the heart and in first person radiating the depth of your soul.

Have a wonderful day my dear friend! Sam

How sad for both parties my friend

but unfortunately love is something that cannot be given, sold or bought so your way is the only honest way; very touching poem Sinome; many blessings and thanks

Funny how a poem written by one person, personal and private to

their own life, resonates like lived experience when someone else reads it. In my situation I'm not sorry I can't love the person. I'm sorry I haven't had the will power to tell him to shove off. Sometimes kindness is misunderstood.

It is a hard journey to the rise above the endless hole

all to often when love is supposed to be equally nurturing in mind, body and spirit, one finds oneself in an endless,sucking black hole of energy and love becomes a state of self survival. Depending on the cause of the failure of the other to return love in equal measure, one either loves unconditionally and learns to block any lose of energy from self to the other or forgive and move on for the survivial of self.

True love is never returned or found until one can radiate that love from within.

sometimes whether young or old, we can't love because love is a burden at

times.........I believe that I can love, but once I know that I love someone, I get scared and want to wipe my mind away from that feeling...

Sinome, There is nothing that I can say that will make you feel better, or worse,
nothing I can say to make pain go away. I can only say that I've been there and that I understand.
