I can relate so much to this Leanne, when I've been single it's a matter of just let the love come and devour me, such a simple idea, great writing.

Tomorrow always brings hope to an aching heart.

Pure consciousness elevating poetry, Leanne. It sings the soul electric! You sure are one wise poetess ... read the comment of "a great poem ..." Such depth of thought/simplicity of expression you muse-speak. I could wax on poetically, but I'll let your words speak my thoughts ... You say you're ok in blythe denial of all that’s past that’s ok, write it all away. Not this time my talented pen-mate. Your own words will cleanse my poetic malaise away. Love the taste of your ink. Love and hugs.

This poem is about "beginning" to look for LOVE...and it is very pure in the ideal of looking for LOVE. Romantic Love. Take it as you will. A valentine for all "True" Valentines. x

"A great poem is a poem with substance, but a poem with substance is not a wordy poem,it is a poem that alludes to something behind,a poem with depth. A great poet is the one who accepts his limits,the limits of his language, and lets his poem take a life of its own, acquiring meaning he didn't intend for it to. He will know what he had in mind when writing the poem,but will also understand the many other meanings it can take,and will discover its true sense only later. The great poet is the one who knows when to stop clarifying, and the ones who choose difficult words and complicated techniques are the bad poets,those who deceive and whose futility is soon revealed. A poem is or is not,it is not built, it reveals itself,but existed before being written. There is no other poetry than spontaneous poetry,which does not mean there are no artifice and no technique involved. Only that this artifice and this technique must inspire and fashion the poem,not be put to work on it."

Many people will hide behind words, some who do are not able to express themselves, some do not want to show others their true feelings... so in essence so much is lost in confusion..
