My Rose Pendant

You came into my life When I was struggling with the storms, My eyes were shut, My breathing was slow, My lungs were dusty, There was no glow, But you, My heart, You, you, you, You embroidered something in my soul, Something beautiful more than my eyes can speak, Something dangerous more than my words can decipher, I thought there was no love until It was just You, you, you, On the tip of my tongue Like honey flowing from a dipped soulless rose, I haven't even kissed you, I wish I could just hold you, Your hands entwined with my hands Like blooming ivy sprinkled with crimson roses, Holding your hand Is my heaven, my redemption, my sanctuary, my oasis, My, my, my, But you are not mine, My first love, A rose pendant That you gave me It shows my soul But it doesn't belong to me It's somebody else's , I can't adorn it on my neck, My fluttering fragile fingers Unlocked the aureate chain, My eyes captured it one last time, My mouth whispered ‘I love you’ to The core of the rose to Keep my words sealed sacredly for eternity, My eyes started raining ragged, rolling tears, And I threw it away from me, Far, far away, In the endless sky, Into the sea, It's gone, It's gone, But my heart still whispers your name, I can feel it in my breath, In my bones, Like a gush of blood, Metallic, mesmerizing muse smell That comes out of a letter written By blood by a miserable lover Longing to exist in the lover's breathing And dreams and hopes, My mind is a museum full of you, I wish my heart was a necklace too.

Sorry I missed it Anne! I used to make it a religion to read them! But I see winners wiith low liffe poetry, meaning words that are pornographic and we know it. Stupid..I am not interested in suggestive poetry. I only speak for myself. It seems a lot of people like that kind of poetry and I know for myself I wont write nor read it. Using pornographic words and just filling in blanks, I think you know what I mean. So that’s why I don’t read them. I wouldn’t you know. I doubt you would like any trash to get a thrill or to be funny.. I do know which poet will pornography disguise under innocent words. That’s OK that’s their choice.. i cgguse poets that have a sense of decency. When I did stand up comedy in Chicago, we were not allowed use to any pornographic words at all ever or we were not allowed back on the stage there is no point in them… unless you are 12 years old!

Dearest Anne, that transformation, that sudden burst of life and hope, is something only real love can do. And yet, you capture so perfectly the pain of not being able to claim it, of having to let go of something that feels like it was made just for you. The rose pendant, a gift that holds your soul but doesn’t belong to you, is just devastating and gorgeous. There’s something so courageous in the way you let go throwing it into the endless sky, into the sea. So Titanic like! And that ending… “My mind is a museum full of you, I wish my heart was a necklace too.” Summer Blessings, My Dearest, Anne, Daniel

Dearest Daniel, I think that letting go is the hardest thing to do because my silly heart can't let go. But someday or one day my heart won't be silly anymore. For now, I'm just enjoying the silliness while it lasts even though it's a rollercoaster of emotions. It does remind me of Titanic the way I've written the poem haha. With love and respect always, Anne
