- Lovers -

        ~ the one who fears love...painful experiences must be included ~
                                               my quote

                             Who twisted the strings on the guitar?
                                 A fading sound from a noisy bar
                               As the wind from the bare window
                                barn swallows fly low, you know
                                     His emotions blown away
                                    recyclable, but will not stay

                                      The parchment cracks
                                  from bird's eye view a climax
                                the night charmer in camouflage
                            she is waiting for his following barrage
                                 Her love was never reciprocated
                                     being loved is complicated

Paul Bell Date: 7/17/2023 5:53:00 AM Some see love as a one-night stand, which obviously brings it own problems. It keeps us going though, so we pursue it. Login to Reply

Joe Dimino Date: 7/16/2023 2:23:00 PM For most of the world it is complicated...but I think you would only need be yourself, Lise. A rolling stone...gone with the first wind, a slight breeze enough for many to depart these days. Excellent writing. Login to Reply

Regina Mcintosh Date: 7/16/2023 11:02:00 AM It's sad, yet - yes, complicated - yes, sometimes that is the way it is and oftentimes, so confusing and disconcerting. Wonderful writing. A winner for sure. Alive with emotion and meaning. God bless you my friend, Love, Gina Login to Reply

Frederic Parker Date: 7/15/2023 7:12:00 PM the disarray of the world's confusion pictured in your poem is stunning, it reads like life, not knowing what's coming next...good luck Login to Reply Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 7/16/2023 3:30:00 AM - You're right that it's about life, Fredric... life and love... not the true love...but, the cold unfeeling one - Thank you for your comment :) - hugs

Speaks Volumes Date: 7/15/2023 6:32:00 PM OK this will sound wrong, because I liked it as I read it, and I cant say why. Its disjointed to me but that ads to the mystery. Then I saw the toss of the dice, and your poem told me she is waiting for him to come to her. This is unusual Anne-Lise, and being unique is what makes it special. Login to Reply Speaks Volumes Date: 7/19/2023 2:14:00 AM ahhh I see you have changed the words and the dice throw is changed. Sorry Anne-Lise its like you lifted a veil. Well done. Now this dummy understands perfectly. Sorry that you had to change it for me, I bet every one else understood. Great poem. BOL Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 7/16/2023 3:23:00 AM - I see I've created a bit of confusion ... trying to clear this up ... thanks for reading, Wendy:) - hugs

Have a good weekend, my friend, Bill Login to Reply Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 7/16/2023 3:21:00 AM - The photo was not supposed to tell my poem ... this has been changed ... thanks for reading, Bill :) - hugs

Lin Lane Date: 7/15/2023 3:03:00 PM Anne-Lise, I'm not sure if I'm discerning your meaning in this one, and if not, I still appreciate the mood you've set with the ominous words and photo you've chosen. Login to Reply Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 7/16/2023 3:38:00 AM - Thanks for coming back and giving it another chance, Lin :) - hugs Lin Lane Date: 7/16/2023 3:26:00 AM You are amazing to me in so many ways.
