Held In Pockets Of The Heart
I am haunted
Withdrawn love
and banishments
always the curse
And yet,
there is always a sliver of love
that resides for those
who let me go
My spirit
craves to hold them,
just one last time
These loves of the past,
my history and distraction
from my own purpose
I hope someday
I can learn,
to love myself
as I once felt loved
And my guarded present,
can slowly be unclothed
and I can be a disciple
to its universal power
But for now,
I can only view it
through a fictional lens,
and appreciate it
from a safe distance.

What a pondering reflection of past loves, recollected memories, whereas, it coincides with, I can only assume in good faith, your present stance. I may venture off here in accordance, but the poet behind the words is so much more in displayed character, and I say that with the most reverent respect..
I hope someday
I can learn,
to love myself
as I once felt loved
True words of the wise my tender poet.. and I hope you shall... one day at a time is always a great start to learn and to accept the rewarding givings along the journey of self-discovery
Enjoy this day and planned festivals...

Yes, it is the type of thing to be taken in stride. Day by day. And your assessment would be quite spot on. Thank you for the kind, uplifting words.
