bereft of...

Dear BV,

Are we talking about a chocolate fix and we forgot we ate the last cookie, grabbed the last handful of the m&m’s and scarfed down the final scoop of ice cream? Because that is truly a scenario to be bereft over! Now I’m hungry and I need a hit of fudge brownie. So help me if I forgot to buy them today! Totally get this write as I’m always manipulated and tempted and ruled by sugar. 😊 any other meaning will escape me as I’m now fixated on my lust for sweets.  
H🌷

I'm kinda with Francisco and I'm craving a fried snickers, too.... hahaha... actually having tried it (yes, I have!) I prefer a fried Oreo... lmao!!

You and your sugar..... mmm... I am addicted to dark chocolate, so I really get it... Completely. Whenever I go into a Walgreens I have to check to see if they have dark chocolate KitKats...Omg.. They're incredible!

I thank you for reading and making me think of all the yummy things that I could be snacking on.... 💭
Ohh the dreams!!.. I am so happy you enjoyed reading and your comments made me smile like a little girl getting ready to dump her Halloween candy on the floor to partake!!!  
I appreciate the list add and all your loveliness, dear lady!

We only see sexual in this, our very own maddening hunger at times. That constant ache to be satiated, to be pushed over the edge and broken. Yes bereft is a great word, as that desire is ripped away. Tight piece Lady

Hey there, Me ;)  
I kinda do as well... perhaps love or relationships in general but yes, in my mind's eye, mostly sex. I agree with you... I don't know what it was about that word bereft but I knew that I was had to write something... it was gnawing away.... I adore your comments and feel similarly, my friend 🙏🏻.
I appreciate you stopping by and I'm smiling widely with your kind compliment... tight comments. *wink

Thanks for stopping by, Francisco

Dearest, Baby Bunny,
This is beautiful in its poignancy. You capture so well the pain of longing in this piece.  And wow I just love this passage...the physiology is so vivid. Bravissima, goddess BB🐻💞🐰

What passage?. (I assume the copy /paste didn't paste??)  
hahaha 😂  
I adore you, BB
💙  
Thank you so very much for reading, the generous list add and your attempt to highlight... I am giggling and so wholly grateful for your thoughtfulness, my lovely friend 🙏🏻  

Your comments are fuel for my fire!!  
(really!)  
Much love and oodles of respect,

DOH! First off. I love this passage,
"An ache that relishes
it's own incessant-ness"

And this one describes so well the physicality of longing.
"To throb in full twenty-four
and to ache
every. single.
of each of the seven."
🐻💞🐰

Hee hee hee hee hee
giggles 🤭





Thanks, I like that one too and I'm glad you enjoyed it, my dear BB.

Wads that the one you thought I would like?

Yep!
I knew it.

I lived this as I read this. Pain is God's gift to let us know we're alive. Well, I'm certainly alive. Delicious pain, I'm in your debt.

I really do just submerge myself in delicious pain... Mmmm ... Damn, I think that's where my inspiration's inspiration lays .... ;)
Your lovely comments are true gold my dear.
I thank you from the bottom and beyond for your generous list add and all the wonderful sentiments you shower... I am humbly grateful

Just the longing ache, just the one thing to complete you. That missing piece
Love this beautiful. Shame we do not write about a abundance of our needs instead of a lack of them
Love and light

Dear Ron,  
I think it's because that particular person doesn't write poetry.. lol.. ....Even when it's a beautifully crafted love poem.... it's still the ache of it that gets written.... hahahaha...

I get what you're saying but I think that abundance is still something you want more of... I know I would!!... You are extremely kind and lovely, my dear knight... I'm grateful for the list add and all the kindness, shown.  

Much love from across the pond ✨ 🌊 ✨

Someone give me a big bomb lollipop...
This write makes me wanna dive deep into my cravings.....


Great ink

Gosh, Dear Susan! 😔  
  It seems such a sad situation where one so deserving gets virtually none of that which they seek, yearn, and ache for  … no wonder they feel so downtrodden and bereft.  
    You truly made me feel sadly sympathetic for this oppressed person, inspiring me to want to reach out a hand filled with joy for them to partake; for, I know I'm so very-very lucky to have so much, while others have so little, and need so little more to make them happy. Where is the balance and justice in this? 😒  
   Again, cherished, respected, and admired poetess, your vibrantly poetical virtuosity captivates my more sensitive side and pulls me with you, into your moment.  
   A stunning and stirring of starkness that even those of us bereft of humankind can't help but shed a tear, or in the least, bow a humble head.  
 
Kudos, our truly inspirationally revered, wondrously talented Poetess.  
With my most grateful hug of thanks to you for sharing You with Us, Susan ⁓ Richard 🍃

I am rapt by these comments you leave for me, Richard. They leave me left flushed and wondering how ever did my luck turn this good?? How can I be enough? ... to be the one that catches such glorious attentions.... I am so grateful and appreciative of your visit and the unbelievable kindnesses you continue to shower....

All my warmest affections,
🌹-💙

S

Susan Dear,
  You asked, "How can I be enough? ... to be the one that catches such glorious attentions....?"
  As you write so openly, passionately, and honestly as yourself, I read equally as openly, passionately, and honestly as myself; then, respond accordingly.

Simple, eh? 😊

Lol... *huge grin*
Yeah, that simple..
*wink

The ache for fulfillment can be overwhelming. The pain to grow and then expand can be excruciating. Your poem expressed something Anaius Nin said but with your own unique and incredible poetic power. Loved how you wrote this feeling of bereft. You speak for humanity in turmoil. It takes talent to speak for all humanity.

Xo
John

lt is  nice when you have the giggles it good for the mind and soul xx

I agree!
The best medicine indeed!

Could be one is bereft of a husk attached to a soul that can quench the internal ache. : )
