Love in Balance
The day is played
We battled and fought
So rare for us
Made up but those scars you talked about
I feel them
Distance rattles me
Beckoning you to curl into my shoulder
Holding you in twilight
Whispers in your silent thoughts
I’m here
I’ll always be here
Till I’m not
At least you knew
My love was always in the balance …

When I give you love, take it, don’t look back ….

Both the poem and your art are wonderful. The art is so sensual, makes me think of the curved line of a woman's hips as she is laying on her side...
Excellent, as always, Sir.

Lovely, tender write. 😍 The art looks like the shirt I'm wearing today! Serene, but with that necessary bit of red spice.

Defining the role of proximity in any relationship should never be minimized.

You're right about that Jazz
I keep trying to get closer but love has it own rulebook.
I have to listen more ...

Love the art (favorite yet I think- i find it very soothing), and love the poem. Love how they go together.

I did a whole series of these PD
In digital art you can do layering and linear designs in a sensual way. I'm drawn to that kind of art and thought process and putting them together...

Dear PS,
I love your poetic soft side. This one sings like bards of long ago. Romantic. Really lovely. Confessional almost. I keep reading it. Huge Dig! H🌷

Dear H,
In reality I'm a street dog. I wrote my first poem in Carl Shurz Park nine years ago while walking my dog Ginger. I had never written a poem before and the words just came to me. That's how the process works for me. I'll get a feeling or a phrase appear before me and the poem practically writes itself. That's what happened here.
I always said I was a poet and a thief of hearts. Love is an undeniable quotient. I'll never figure it out so I keep writing these poems hoping for a breakthrough...
Many thanks for your visit H, it's a gold star when you visit and comment.

I’ve been a little moody in the realm of love as of late. I’ve never been any good at it.
Always have been a fan of your softy side.
Kudos on the art. It’s always sublime.

I wanted to write a soft one.
I feel a lot of times my stuff is clumsy so writing soft is more of a challenge..
Glad you like, that makes me really happy E
Better days ahead

OB pills so funny!
Beautiful write, PS
It’s all about the unbroken connection no matter what. Having that security is everything along with trust of course.
The painting reinforces with the steady linear paths

Is Love ever truly in balance?
Well if it were, it would probably look like that painting.
So who won? huh? I bet she did... You know I would win.
But seriously,
This is so beautiful...
When you are very close to someone and you fight about something significant
it really can leave scars, and in the aftermath you see them. The damage.
And when you hurt someone you love like that, it's like cutting yourself deeper.
You just have to hold them and whisper that everything is okay.
That you will always be there for them.
I suppose you can read the "Till I'm not" in many ways. It could be
that I am going be there for you till death, or possibly if there comes
a point where you are no longer together that you will always love them.
Anyway, really lovely and heartfelt PS. You big softie.

Wow, this is an exceptional comment.
You're right, love is not always placid waters. It demands respect and grit to keep it rolling and tended like a fine garden. Sometimes things go astray but in the aftermath it's no so much what was said as it is what you did to get it back on track. You're kinda snarky so to receive a well thought out comment like this means a lot to me.
As to who won ? Men don't win those fights. The best we can hope for is hear something she said to help you understand more of who she is and how to love her better ....
Thanks Kx

Hi PS
Love all the lines in this.
The art and the poem.
Love in balance - sometimes it can get knocked off course when fighting - but
if you love someone you do find that common ground. Not always easy to do in the
heat of the moment. Sometimes we need to cool off a bit and reanalyze.
Love the curling into the shoulder - and the whispers too.
Loving scene you conjured with this piece.
Keep them coming!

Wow Adelphina
What a great loving comment !
Sometimes I feel too rough and tough in my writing so I used this experience to find a softer side again. From the looks of it I wasn’t wrong. It seems this kind of writing wins favor.
Thanks so much A, you made my night !!

If the Tao had a poet emeritus... I'm not really kidding, the balance, living within the moment, total understanding and acceptance here seem so spiritually pure. And it is so beautifully written. Quite empowering.

I am honored by your comment.
There are certain kinds of love that surpass all traditional coupling and in this case I have been fortunate to be graced by her fire and significant capacity. She is what I call Beyond Reason of beauty and eroticism …..
Thank you APPS
