I believe in love … always have, always will. So when I’m moved to write about the highs and lows that love brings, I do it in hopes that it will in turn inspire others to do the same.  A piece that I wrote entitled, “You’ll Miss Me When I’m Gone” (click here to read), triggered a very poignant response from an extremely talented writer that I wanted to share. Check it out.

Written by PoeticHaze

Beyond the torrid horizons of my soul
Lie deep waters of internal anguish
A whirlpool of bitter thoughts that makes me whole
That simple love or tears cannot tarnish

My soul hungers for something much more real, ill tell you ill give you all of me, & yet you held back still
Who are you, & why are you here, its just my conscious.. reflecting my fear..

I’m carried away with the inconsequential tale
My heart yearns to hear and say
But tales are for story books with childish detail
So my true feelings are suppressed yet another day.

Amidst the ebb and flow of my hidden emotions
And between the crashes of my internal wave
I find myself yearning to let go of my inhibitions
And indulge in love, which I so do crave

I may be a child to certain unmoving eyes
But i partake not in child like things

My heart has held many potent lies
And dwells in the feeling that love alone brings
But like the deep, unknown waters of the farthest oceans

Such is loves face as it eludes me so
Nothingness in a mix of passionate commotions
With nowhere to run, I let myself go

And as I see my heart on my sleeve I ponder…
I want to be known to love, without consequence.

But consequential outcomes makes one wonder
Is love a real emotion, or a mechanism of defense..
