But …

That yearning for even just one line.
I so, so felt this.
To want everything, all of that person, and to settle for the least they can/will give…
Crushes can be so crushing (probably why they were given that name).

And your painting is SPECTACULAR as well!

The poem and painting say it all.
All I can say now is "I remain"

Thank you Mary
Appreciate  !!

A thousand words said  in the painting and words. Another masterpiece my General. Hugs and love, O

This is a very personal write.
I didn't want to say too much but maybe I did ...

BIG THANKS COLONEL ❤

My General never says too much.

Time has taught me...

That's why I'm your student. XO

Really striking combination of words and colours
Regards
James

It’s almost a discordant combo but that abstraction floats my sentiments I think …

Appreciate your comment James !

good morning dearest Poet beautiful 💕

Thanks so much Brenda ..

I love the line about wanting a lot but not needing much. You packed a lot of power into a few lines. Great painting too.

This was one of those writes where I sit on my hands whether to post it or not.  It was a hard decision.  In a sense I did it for myself and others who pine for a little piece of the pie ...

Appreciate your comment Pink ..

Spoken like a true Scorpio man!

While the art is entwined, the bands are holding on loosely. Nice depth.

Yes
There's a lot of Ying Yang ☯️ in this write.
Scorpio plays a major part in the intensity of yearning ...  

Appreciate your comment...
Thx

There's a lot said & lot unsaid in this piece. Intriguing & beautiful in its authenticity

You're correct in your assessment Willow.
It's amazing how one trains themselves ...
Thx

I dig the abstract polarity of the painting as it ties to the same in the poem. A powerful combination, well wielded mediums. Bravo.

I must have written this poem 100 times in my head and then got up the courage to post it.  I speak for myself but maybe for others too …

Thanks for the great comment T ..

Yeah
This is the BIG STUFF !!

Many thanks Philis !!

We need to let love in in order to recieve love.  Keep on writing.

Love is the answer...

There you go, showing your humanity my friend.

Looks good on you. You almost never let yourself be vulnerable -- I relate. But you look good with your defenses down.

The fuck!

Yeah
This was a tough one to let go public.
The thing about showing vulnerability is if you do it too much you get typecast as being weak so I pick my spots … ya know
Yeah you know
Ultimately I said Fuck it !!
You know that too

BIG THANKS B

How on earth did I miss this one?

This piece hits home, it's hard when it's just one line or you have to deal with silences.
...and still care about that person deeply.

Yeah, it's really hard...
I tried not to write it or post it but it got the better of me.
I have to accept the silence as I promised to not be greedy and I'm trying to live up to that promise ...

Thanks D

Dear PS,

We won’t tell anyone about your vulnerable side. But it does suit you 😘
I thought this write was really touching. It made me think how I can be edgy and sharp but there’s a scared side I’m protecting. Does this mean imma human? Ugh! Say it isn’t so!
I applaud your courage to share yourself with us (we did already know your sweet side but it’s still nice to see you write about it)
Great write! H🌷

Dear H,

As I've replied many times on this write, this one had to be written and posted.  It was really difficult to show this side of me.
Now I have to live up to accepting so little but the circumstances are complicated so I'm doing my best...  I'm capable of it.  I, good at suffering ... it's an art form almost !
I appreciate your comment H...
I almost deactivated for other reasons recently but I think I found a way to stay..

Thank you

Appreciate your comment 🙏

where intimacy has been established, caring never ends, whether communication continues or stops...well you wrote heart touching words... ❤

Dimpy is back !
Yeah even Poetspeak is known to pine ..
Poem wrote itself
I'm just the caretaker

Nice to see you again back in the heat

Thanks !!

a very deep n wet feeling which has been expressed in few words... one of the best poem of yours... thanks for sharing... N yea thanks artist for warm welcome...

It's strange how one pens a poem like this and it's seen as one of your best even though my heart is a little damaged by it.
I'll get through it somehow and I appreciate your kind words truly ....

Thanks for caring 💌

i think a little loss or damage often leads to a happiness...

Oh... yeah. You know I feel this one, deeply. Damn crushes.
This is one of your best. I'm glad you shared it.
❤️❤️k

Yeah
You know
BIG THANKS ❤

Love this...

BIG THANKS LDF

Appreciate the RL

Love the art, a lot going on there and those colors are awesome... But the words... yeah where to start... When you care about someone deeply I don't think that ever goes away; not with distance, not with silence... But those one lines can mean so much, that you aren't forgotten. That someone is thinking of you like you are of them. But even in those instances where those one lines are missing it doesn't mean you are forgotten or not thought about. It's just sometimes life has a way of consuming us in one way or another doesn't it?

Loved this too. :)

A lot of people think I have a hard shell but the truth is I’m an emotional guy who likes to speak his mind and pick his spots to say so.  The painting kind of reflects that kind of sentiment.  Lots of color but subdued at the same time.  I guess that’s me !!  But I feel a lot and I like to say it and then if I have to wait to get something back, so be it …

Appreciate your take on this write.
Women always know …

Thx  

You know we more than look at your pieces, we look for that match we think. Is there a pairing between the pic and the piece and we usually see one or find one. We look at the swirl at the bottom of the pic and think hurricanes maybe because of Debby, and we can't help but think of it throwing orange/self through out the pic/people sharing of itself. Tight dude  

I usually write the poem first and then find a painting to match my words.  But sometimes it’s not as as easy as it seems as I have hundreds of paintings to choose from …. I guess that’s a blessing also.
I’ve always appreciated your kindness and interest in what I write and paint.  I’m in a bit of a lull on both at the moment but hope to come roaring back soon.  Colors come to me and then the process begins again.

Many thanks ME 🤠👍

Minimalism goes a long way.
