In love and or its loss, the heart
bleeds profusely, like a river
while drifting mindlessly alone
There came times we’ve opined
In our own antithetical banter
Love and wisdom fashionably
have their own unique craving
Yet codependent, on one another
But there also comes those times
when a divorce is all that is left
and the incompatible couple split
Yet, it is a love I can’t easily dismiss
and for me, logic has its frail limits
So I decided to follow logic’s lead
in my own mannerism, sort to speak
I rent from myself as loves dissenter
I’m sure at times, I will miss…my mind

We share very similar views about “writing from the heart, POL Perhaps the only difference of any interest is I myself think of it as writing from both the heart and mind at once. The idea of speaking authentically, true to ourselves, has been on my mind quite a bit these past 30 or so days. What a coincidence to stumble across your blog!
Also, it’s possible “Tide’s Out” is about to inspire a blog post. Maybe, maybe not. I’ll link back to it if and when it does.

Thank you for your read and comment. Perhaps you’re right and that’s where our similarity juxtaposition diverges ?

I posted with a link back to your poem. Here’s the link because the pingback appears delayed:

I’m kind of excited to meet you, actually. The similarities are too important to make any differences matter to me.
Here’s my take on it: I don’t think anyone knows for certain they speak the truth. The best any of us can hope for is to speak the Honest truth — the truth as we honestly see it. None of us are really in a position to say, “You are right or wrong”. Not say that and literally mean we know for certain what we’re talking about. But all of us can speak the truth as we honestly see it.
That’s my take. What’s yours?

Interesting. All truth is honest…to someone. The only truth I know, is my ever-changing own. All else, in my humble opinion, is merely conjecture that I’m working at understanding, and know then how it may or may not relate to me.
btw, how can anything be “too (excessive)” anything instead of merely prevalent because it maybe lacking elsewhere? : )
