Tattered Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 (edited) Certainly has been a long time since I felt loves' inspire The warmth of the touch the swift passing of time All life has brought to me is sweat from the heat of the fire I throw myself in the ring just to occupy my mind I often wonder with deep rooted fear, if love of my own will ever be here Too many troubles to work out a useful solution So many days seem to mimic the days before This life is a Labryinth with out a resolution I give so much of myself, yet I still come up short I have a tendancy to muddle the blessings Gods sweet mercy so charitably sends me If only I could find the pathway to peace and love I would embrace love's face never turn away again Steadily I've fallen only to cry to the heavens above Please love find me, forgive my past sin Knock once more Lord I'll open that door Just reveal the key Lord I'm quite ready for more.

Peredhil Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Quite a bit to put into so few lines! In my experience... Doing right isn't ever a feeling up front, it's a choice that usually is contradictory to feelings, wants... desires. The payoff is on the other side. In my experience... Many women want intimacy and touch, and are willing to pay the fantasy of sex up front to be held all night. Being what I am, I'm afraid I'm an unnatural male I guess - I've always skipped the sex and just gone for the cuddling. Isn't it an interesting trap? I'm only attracted to women I know, not strangers, but I usually end up not wanting them physically at all, because it wouldn't be best for either of us. In my experience... Most people need to remember what it was like to learn to walk. Walking is leaning forward and falling - and trusting you'll get a foot out there in time to not fall on your face. Or over-correcting and having to sit down. In either case, unless you continue to get up and try again and again, you'll never develop the skills to move forward into life. Babies don't waste time beating themselves up about falling and sitting, although they occasionally cry in frustration. Instead, they learn what they can, stay focused on their goal, and practice until they're walking, jumping, running. Don't beat yourself for failures, instead become like a child - and persist until you succeed. Hug -Peredhil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merelas Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Who could follow a reply like Peredhil's? Bah. I'll give a go at the impossible. I really liked your work. It was filled with emotion, and it really drew me in until I was gobbling up the words, and had read it too fast and missed the substance. I had to read it again, and force myself to go slowly... this is really good. My favorite stanza: Too many troubles to work out a useful solution So many days seem to mimic the days before This life is a Labryinth with out a resolution I give so much of myself, yet I still come up short So many days feel like there's no progress. I can't tell you how many days I feel like I'm stuck in limbo, between going on and falling back. Those, my friend, are the days ice cream was invented for. Tosses Tattered a spoon So... there's my two bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
