Notes About The Poem

Photography by - Anastasia Scheglova

Kept Safe

Never knew the space between time and you
     Fractions divided, pulling us apart . . .
  This wasn't my desire, this point of view
Distraction, less connection of the heart

Perhaps the plan exceeds our existence
  With what happens next, the isolation
    Pulling us apart, with only a glance -
Starving we are, for communication

Give me one plus one, I know equals two
    I am kept safe in what’s logical . . .
 Aching for the space between time and you,
Without a new norm, anything special

   This wasn't my desire, this point of view
Give me one plus one, I know equals two

The longing within, especially this past year- with everything going on. It does hurt at times. Thank you Robert. You and your thoughts are appreciated. ~ Brandy

Almost sounds like love is entering a new era - but the heart will always send the same messages eternally. Great write Brandy, Jennifer.

We are told to stay safe, like precious objects stored in a glass jar...isolated, to be admired from the outside, yet lacking physical contact. I feel like an object displayed in a shop window...."look but don't touch!" Your lovely poem is a thought provoker, Brandy, as can be seen from the points raised in the comments below:) Best regards & Hugs // paul

Paul, I understand your thoughts completely. It seems like we are supposed to live in a bubble- waiting for the right moment to be set free. Being careful, we must be- however.. it is impossible to avoid germs at all times. We can't. Such is life. Thank you for your kind words, your support. You are appreciated. Hugs, Brandy

Thoughtfully penned Brandy - I pray this year presented us with not a new normal but a new temporary, as purgatory must not be infinite.

Hi Craig, so kind of you to stop by and read this little scribble of mine. This new normal seems to be our way of life now. I am praying too- as I know many are. Your thoughts are appreciated. ~ Brandy

Interesting sonnet..... For me there seems to be something or something that is preventing one add one being two.... Nice rhymes and flow.

Brandy Nicole

Thank you Silent One. This Sonnet holds moments that surround us (Especially now) being separated from those we love. I am doing good. Just reflecting on many who aren't. You and your thoughts are appreciated. ~ Brandy

Moments of isolation, separation, division, space. Desiring oneness in life lingers in the heart and mind. This is beautifully sad, romantic and moving, all at the same time. "Perhaps the plan exceeds our existence" is a gorgeous, poignant line. The photo adds a dimension of isolation. You've created another sonnet masterpiece, my dear friend, a fave for me. Keep pursuing love and oneness in every moment. Hugs ~ John

Brandy Nicole

Oh my!!! Thank you John. Your comment comes from the heart. I can tell. So many emotions lingering within. All of your kind words and compliments, about me and my poetry are appreciated. I am humbled. Thank you for placing this in your favorites. I will, my dear friend. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

I wouldn't let anyone dictate to me what is expected of me based on a lie. You are correct Brandy in their demands of us being apart. It has a negative affect on all of us because we are social creatures and separation is withdrawal. You have cleverly written a piece reflecting that. Wonderful expression of thought.

Brandy Nicole
Date: 6/21/2020 10:15:00 PM

Hi Michael. True, we are social creatures, so being apart- makes living very difficult. Especially now! You and your thoughts are appreciated. Thank you. So kind of you to read this little scribble of mine. ~ Brandy

You are right about that. Connection is important, in many circumstances. Thank you Joseph. Your thoughts are appreciated. ~ Brandy

Perhaps a departure from your usual sensuality, this one is more forlorn, very moody. One of your best, I think.

Many thoughts wrap around these moments that surround life. More so now, than ever. Thank you Lawrence. Such a wonderful thing to say. ~ Brandy

Thank you Janice. Emotions tangle a heart even more these days. What will happen next? Lingers in the mind. Seems many can relate. Your kind words are appreciated. ~ Brandy

Being apart is hard to bear Brandy, it's affected all mankind and you wonder what will be the new normal. Hope you are well. Tom

Brandy Nicole

You are right Tom. Seems being away from one another is what's best lately. Not very comforting to a heart. I appreciate you and your thoughts. I am doing well. I hope you are too. My best to you. ~ Brandy
