Guest guest Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 That's cool. What else can I say? Just impressed. Glad you shared. Walking Past Society My wakened eyes View the naked faces Of society passing me In the street. I comprehend with An emptiness, Mere flashes of blurred lives Passing me by. At times the people ibrate into my mind So for just that moment I'm filtered into the intricacies of their life; The one that passed me. Then when I walk slowly, With my head full, Confidence and serenity Surround my world in a bubble. Those faces liberate me And I become a... One in society.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Your not alone in those feelings. I to have had broken relationships more then the lifetime ones that I have always wished and prayed to God for. What helped me was to defuse from the thoughts of the past and the possibility of more failures in the furture. Of course, just staying in the moment. I found that I close my heart to myself and everyone thru these heartbrakes. Now I look for ways to open my heart up to whoever comes my way. It makes me feel better; I think I also made a few people smile too.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Lin, although I'm sure it was a typo, I found it eye-opening that you spelled heartbreaks as heartbrakes. Putting the brakes on your heart after experiencing heartbreaks - yep, that's what can happen. No one wants to expose themselves to such pain again, so instead we shut down and put the brrakes on our hearts. It is only when we can learn to love ourselves and find it OK to be with ourselves without HAVING to be in an intimate love relationship with anyone else that the possibility even exists for that to happen. Staying open, keeping our hearts open to give love (especially to ourselves) and to receive love - that's key - I would go so far to say that's what living a fulfilled life is all about (it is for me, anyway).

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Beautiful, Lou. I felt both sadness and hope while reading it. Re the last line, "And I become a...One in society." My mind finished it as "and I become ... one with society" - then I stopped and realized that you had written it differently - yet you felt liberated. Also, "Confidence and serenity surround my world in a bubble" - and I thought, but bubbles are fragile and they burst. Hmmmmm So full of hope, yet a sense of deep aloneness permeates the words. It's hard to know the thoughts and feelings that go into someone else's writings ... I guess that's one of the joys of poetry; we interpret the words subjectively even though it may not be the same interpretation the writer intended. If you want, I'd love to hear more about this poem and what it means to you. It really touched me.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Helena Conicidence maybe not, because that is exactly what I do when I am faced with the possibility of heartbreak- Put the breaks on that old heart. Too bad I dont put the brakes on the food. Very interesting catch. Where are you from? Lunch sounds better all the time.
