LadyCarrie Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Thank you, Simon, for your heart-felt, and lovely poetry. Regardless of age, or number of years together, the loss of our soulmate rips one heart in two. The very old are never ready either, and are often at their weakest and neediest, physically and emotionally, when their greatest hurt comes. You are right in saying that the sadness is the same. I hurt for each of you, and for all of us here. May God hold us all gently and tenderly. Carrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jame57 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Hi Smudgie, I love Bath and have some good friends there. I particularly like the area around Monkton Combe and Midford....such lovely scenery. I'll never leave here though, so many memories of better times. I'm so glad you're writing poetry and expressing yourself. I still can't summon up the interest to do my hobbies but it will come in time. Keep sharing your poetry though please as it's really good and as you see, much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudgie Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Thanks for the message Jame. Your comment regarding not leaving your location was poignant for me as it would probably be better for me to return to England but all my memories with my wife are here so I am torn. Just procrastinating waiting to see if something comes along to make the decision for me. Hope you get your muse back. Here is my favorite Pearl Jam song "Pendulum" Can't know what's high 'Til you've been down so low The future's bright, Lit up with nowhere to go, To and fro the pendulum throws We are here and then we go My shadow left me long ago Understand what we don't know This might pass This might last This may grow Easy come and easy go Easy left me a long time ago I'm in the fire but I'm still cold Nothing works works for me anymore Ah ah ah ah ah To and fro the pendulum throws To and fro the pendulum throws To and fro To and fro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1D1uZbhdQY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 That speaks to how I felt on the beginning of my journey. Thanks for sharing it with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudgie Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 When I have had a particularly bad day I feel the need to vent, today was one such as I went to see my wife's Psychiatrist who was more like a friend really, this is for the first time since her passing and I used to take her there every two weeks for 12 years. As you all know these triggers are always hard to deal with so I cope in my own way although it seems to be a little narcissistic. The Black Hole I slip over the event horizon into the infinite abyss The darkness devours my spirit The cold soaks into the core of my being Struggling against the futility of my own sentience I ponder what I am now become There could yet be some unknown task to complete Only fate can say and fate does not speak.

enna Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I continue to enjoy your poetry, Smudgie. As you have said, the triggers will keep coming. How could they not when there has been great love. I hope you are keeping them all together. Some day there just might be a Poetry book to share with others.

Smudgie Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 feralfae, Thank you for your kind thoughts, I have been busy surviving. Although my poems are gloomy, as they only appear from out of my dark muse, I am still here. My friend and I at college made a pact that we would be the exception that proves the rule and would live forever, Well, I am still on course although I don't know about my friend as sadly I lost touch with him in the general chaos of life. The only problem with this , of course, is that I want to see my soulmate again so... The Path to Immortality There are many different trails many different tales we follow but one where this leads we only guess some choose well for some their luck is less there is no return no going back I can only follow what I know so little time before I go XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX My best wishes for the future to all.
