I really love your expressions here; the title in particular effectively captures the longing and frustration of seeing a loved one go through hard times and wondering when things will get better.
One thing I will say is that sometimes it feels like you're forcing yourself and your piece to rhyme and stay in a meter...maybe try writing it with no form or rhyme scheme whatsoever, and see what happens?
Beautiful write!

=D
Beautimous!
Ah, how happy I've been
Not even realizing that
An hour or more has passed
Not even caring, just
Arranging those letters in
Great and glorious
Refrains, or simply making
A silly special
Mess of
Sounds...what endless fun!

Dang...I don't envy this person at allllll, and I share Nick's curiosity. But either way, whether you'd care to divulge said information or keep it to yourself, this is quite an excellent write.

I don't think any of us expected to be where we are now. Things are just so...I don't even know.
But it is life, and it is good. And this poem is very uplifting...it makes me happy. =) Thank you, you gorgeously wonderful person you.

i must say, i rather like the III's, although if there is a special significance behind them other than the fact that they make a cool style i'm afraid it's lost on me.
you're sure i won't know who it's about?

you have quite a knack for conveying deep sadness and longing through simple phrases and ideas, which makes your poetry so powerful.

i like how some of the lines continue on to the next one... "What will you do? I suppose you'll ignore/The feelings you had, you used once to care..." also like the way your questions throughout the text and the ellipses you use sort of suggest a sense of desperation. quite a good villanelle.

i am so apprehensive about how awkward i'll be
if these things you descirbe here [finally] happen to me...
(posting this will probably screw up the lines, but fourteen is too many syllables for a couplet anyway.)
excellent write, m'dear...tells a story that is quite easy to follow/envision. yay you.

| The Safe Choice (About Movies)
|
|
2008-08-25
i think i will take this as advice. the next time i'm in blockbuster, i will pick up a movie i know nothing about, read the back cover, decide that i like it, and give it a chance without thinking about the whole thing too much.

and yet the movie poem applies here...making the safe choice has caused him to miss out on more wonder and joy than he can comprehend. good use of repetition here.

this poem has a good message for me right now. i'm afraid i am a little too deep in my depression to see any sun, but i'll take your word for it that it's worth waiting for it to come back. thank you so much for your words.

This song really hits home with me, as I have gone through something similar this summer. It's beautiful. And I agree, poetry can be best when tears come with it.

Kathy, this is lovely both in style and sentiment. My favorite parts:
That havens be left as havens
Where doves and lilies grow.
Where thoughts are expressed in comfort.
And where hearts beating flow
and
So let us lift up our silent voices
And sing out through the wriiten word
All of our thoughts and feelings.
This is our Haven, our place to be heard.
Absolutely stunning.
