“Hey, how’re you?”
“I am fine, everything’s well.”
....
Beneath those eyes I sense all miseries, tears and agony she has been hiding,
Hiding from the world,she thinks doesn’t deserve to know what she actually feels;

Feels, yes, she feels alot, each action,each reaction,

Reaction she has been avoiding to give, however, she knows what she seeks!,

Seeks, seeks truth, but show lies,

Lies, yes, she lies well.
...
Let’s start this again, shall we?

“Hey,how’re you?”
“I am good, everything’s well.”


Isn’t she too much for your malevolent heart?!

Through the last few years in Hello poetry I met your tender caring comments becoming engraved in my heart giving me strength as I grew butterfly wings writing about my innermost feelings my truth.

I have grown more since then fond of most of you your tender grace.
I apologize if anyone of you ever felt neglected
unattended the truth is I am like you are kind of sellective
I too learned from all of your writing;
basically, your style simple, direct, and unadorned as well as the intricate mind drilling metaphorical styles
this is the beauty of HP
we simple express our inner cores
many write like myself
truth as the basis

I might not have much in common but as people I love you all regardless of being afluent or not on here.

I sincearely mean it you made my life worthwhile meaningful
and I am eternally greatful to all who crossed my lonely path
all of your ink was my teaching guide.
Before I got here I never knew I had ability of courage or strength to dig in for treassures lost and found triumph and defit a soul purifying tool.

I saw your grace your courage and jumped into the awesome pool and swam transforming by Cimi me
white as you swans gracefully swimming in rhyme with truth
swinging the ball of ink writing
and I found support intrigue
allarm and criticism competition
as well as kindness direction from the best of gifted famous poets.

I even crossed roads with my old twin soul.
indeed a blessing fullfilled.

I love you all because you are the only family I now have.
I need your tender grace kindness and understanding
stay please let's swim swinging our tennis inky rockets cheering one another
continuing infused united in gold ink
Lets praise one another awarding
Emmy statues as we remain in gold ink
entwined.

on April 16 is my birthday
I have had only one birthday party to celebrate my birthday
in all my life but I love
and honor myself just the same.
Peace.

Maybe
I am a story
Like you

Hello

Mind thoughts
All night around

Hard breathing
Tears falling down

Hands closed
Heart beating fast

Morning came
DESPITE... !
the sky
still looks dark

no wrong love
no more harm
no more... anymore
Goodbye ♥

It starts with HI! or HELLO!
a timid eagerness slowly rises...and implodes,
then, comes a wary handshake...lo and behold,
both smile shyly, as sweet conversation follows,

they move on, naively basking in the novelty
of, "us,"...tasting sweet waters of "you and me,"
expecting things to turn out well...eventually...
a seemingly inane anesthaetic created by love, allows
heart to be pricked by thorns...painful, deep, slow...

for some couples, the magic wanes and dies,
damning...dimming, love's bright sunlight...
the hurting one, rather than cringe,
struggles.....copes with sharp fringes
...............................of GOODBYE...

yet, there are lovers who strive,
they give their all, and determinedly survive,
day by day, they rise from the wrong and right,
and are able to laugh in their years of twilight,

recalling first Hellos, when love was a sweet lullaby,
combining efforts, to never ever sing "goodbye."


Sally
