Another Somewhere

I thought that SOMEWHERE
At some point along life’s line
Our hearts would find each other

Somewhere’s out of reach
You’re entrenched in yesterday
Another SOMEWHERE awaits…

I keep being drawn back to this piece. I must confess I don’t remember which poem it inspired me to write. Do you remember?

A heartbeat's distraction, irregular to the other halves' smile. Deep, deep inside a romantic conundrum. Damn. Fine job.

We are all looking for that some one, some in the future, others in the present, and most in the past! Someday that love will come and join you with another! A powerful and lovely write! I enjoyed it my Persian Queen! :) xoxoxo Have a good day!

Yes, Nette....This is a poem about bridges to forgiveness....It's so sad when someone isn't able to let go of a past grievance and give a second chance...sometimes...you just have to realize that it's not meant to be and...MOVE ON. Thanks for the visit. Hugs

Somewhere is reachable with our imaginations. Within our minds us poets live many lives.

Richard....this is like your poem....I see this post reflected in your poem...Absolutely awesome! :) Thank you....I can't live without my poems...Sometimes...I just want to throw in the towel...It feels like I'm not going anywhere...not improving....but...my poetry is my soul, my dreams, my aspirations....Me...living many lives.

I've written one or two using this form. I find it effective when I don't want to belabor a point! ;) Thanks for the visit, my dear.

Sometimes, Mr Seal....things are just not meant to be...In that last line lies the secret....Another somewhere awaits. Another point along the line will perhaps reveal a truer heart. It's hard to make amends when hearts break....Sometimes...you can only move on....thanks for your visit....I so love having you pass by here. It makes me happy. So....Keep visiting...Will have something sweet to offer you!
