Michael: you should "love" more often because the feeling is palpable in your poetry. There is a softness, relaxed, everything will be o.k. side of you that almost shows, have to look quickly, but there it is. Precious piece. The softest Thunder.

Comment from RGstar
Hi, Micheal. Missed this one,would never have seen it except for the entry.
It seems all these attributes are directed to one...because of the words, I love you.
Is she all of those things because of the love for her? And if you stopped loving, would she still be, or does love take them away.
I think this, because you said ''because I said, ''I love you''
Does she keep some of the attribute if love is no longer?
Good usage of that cryptic style I have come to love about your poetry my friend. One of my favorites. Its got mine.

Comment from jlsavell
Hello again Michael,
Hell, I think I am reviewing more these days than any other time' I can tell you are feeling hopeful and relaxed.. so you just breathe and beauty flows from your heart.
Love is certainly an anomaly;
My take is this on love....
We are all on a journey of awakening, and intimate relationships provide us with a powerful opportunity to see ourselves and our psychological and spiritual lessons more clearly. We can hide from ourselves, from our therapists, from our bodies, from our spiritual teachers and from our friends, but we cannot hide from the one we love and who loves us. All of our stuff will eventually come to light through this mysterious and wonderful process we call love. And when it does, we can choose to defend, judge, attack and run away. Or we can choose to be present, to look inside with acceptance and love for ourselves, and to feel gratitude that this aspect of ourselves has revealed itself. Then can we clearly see that any part of ourselves that hurts others is simply a part of ourselves that needs more love. From this perspective, we hurt the one we love so that we can learn to love ourselves and others more unconditionally, more deeply, and more completely. And by loving and healing ourselves, we ultimately heal our partners' wounds as well, because we make it safer for them to fully be who they are, and to experience the deeper Oneness and magic that only love can bring to our lives.
Well, I could also pull out my son's Psychology books 101 and tell you why we hurt the ones we love so.. okay so here I go and I know you hate this in me....
One if I can remember is Unconscious re-creation of emotional trauma - we all experience various degrees of emotional hurt and trauma growing up. Unfortunately,, we form part of our identities around whatever we experience, be it love, distance,drama,or verbal or physical abuse. As adults, we may feel most alive or most like ourselves when we are feeling the same way we did as children, and so we may do things unconsciously to get our partner to trigger those feelings. For example, a person who grew up with a lot of distance may feel uncomfortable with closeness,and may sabotage it by picking fights or avoiding intimacy. Or a person who grew up in a chaotic, dramatic home may be uncomfortable with harmony and quiet and always seem to trigger chaos or drama in their relationships.
Also, as adults, our fantasy is that we will find a person who will finally give us the love we never got as children. If we can't get the love from our original parent or caretaker, the next best thing is to get the love from someone who has a very similar personality to the person we originally feel wounded by. We'll generally feel a lot of attraction, chemistry and intensity in our love with such adult partners, due to the interlocking nature of our emotional baggage.
But what we may not realize though, is that this person that we fall in love has the perfect tools and personality to emotionally re-create our childhood hurts. After the initial infatuation wears off and we are in a deeper, committed relationship, their fears (and ours) often get activated. And when they get afraid, they will strike out in exactly the same way that our parents or caretakers did. The result? We get wounded again. Only now it's worse, because the very person who we hoped could give us the love we never got, is hurting us. Not because they love us most of all, but because they are unaware of their own unconscious defenses.
Now I am sure you did not want this review, but this is what your poem has evoked in me. We have certainly had our moments and who knows one day, we will be able to talk about it.
Your poem is haunting and can be interpreted many ways, but love is one of the greatest gift our Creator has ever bestowed on the animal kingdom. without it, life is just simply, simply existing. We a spiritually and emotionally and physically impoverished without.
okay enough said, probably tooooo much.. take care dear man.. Jimi

all that stuff you said...that they teach in college, you learn it anyway...life experience teaches everybody, some sooner but always later.
Do you remember the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"...what is beauty...beautiful....? we are trained to see it a "certain" way....but life, she teaches....hard.
do you want to know what beautiful is....it is one human seeing another, other than apparent...but knowing differently...and making it visible. You will never see more beauty then in the face of one gifted love...it changes everything....the pure gratitude of being loved in such manner turns a Peter into a rock and Mary into Madonna. I kiss you on the cheek my friend...love Bug-

Better said than I ever could. Life is a friggin big classroom and at times not a pretty one.
No it doesn't take a degree to gain lifes knowledge. But knowledge is no goid without understanding. Such priceless acquired knowledge should be the impetus of understanding which culminates in the catalyst of valuable wisdom.
My Emma once said " the purpose of the heart runs in deep waters. It is only the wise who know how to draw it out." I never rwally appreciated those words of wisdom until just recently.
Okay well I guess a kiss on the cheek will have to suffice. Take care dear man Jim

The sudden down pour / on top of her// I cover the water sparkle awe- beautiful lines that speak both of sensuality and pure love. Halo crowned gold her head because you let the walls fall and declared "I Love". six worthy, but I spent my last one not ten minutes ago.
