Affairs of the Heart By: Owen Rodgers on 12/9/2002; 3:37 AM What did you do to me? You woke me from my comfort, and made me feel alive. You made me feel sexy, interesting, and young. I became dissatisfied with myself, And sought to become something more. You gave me thrills and excitement, and love. You made me long for more than I had. I wondered at what I might be missing before, then you gave me words to say it And love belonged to me. Then you left me with my newly opened heart, returning home for the sake of right. Im not sexy, interesting, or young anymore. Now Im only dissatisfied with myself. And not worthy of anything more. You took the thrills, excitement, and love, with you, but I still long for more than I have. You were what I missed before, and now again. Forever empty at the loss of you - And loves no longer mine.
RE: Affairs of the Heart By: Michelle on 12/10/2002; 1:36 AM Oh wow. What can I say? You said it all. Very good writing. Your words are so true, an affair of the heart leaves you so alive, and then sooo dead when it ends. "You took the thrills, excitement, and love, with you, but I still long for more than I have. You were what I missed before, and now again. Forever empty at the loss of you - And love’s no longer mine." I wish I could write what some of you are writing here. I read your posts and say.."wow..that is just how I feel!"
RE: Affairs of the Heart By: Chie Theresa Fujioka on 12/11/2002; 6:27 AM I know I barely get on anymore, but in one of my ever so brief visits... I like your poem a lot. It's very strong in relaying the feeling that one get's when in love, and when you lose it... Your use of parallelism is excellent in eccentuating the contrast. Your poem is very retinal.
RE: Affairs of the Heart By: Mark Morgan on 12/19/2002; 4:24 PM We miss you, Chie!
RE: Affairs of the Heart By: Evan on 12/24/2002; 5:22 PM The poem is retinal? I looked the word up and it seemed to mean what I thought it meant, of or pertaining to the retina of the eye. Its a very interesting poem but I don't undesrtand what you meant by retinal Chie.
RE: Affairs of the Heart By: Owen Rodgers on 12/24/2002; 9:53 PM Perhaps she meant 'renal', as in pertaining to the kidneys, as a bootful of... you get the idea. Chie seems very supportive of others' writings here, so I doubt that was her meaning, but you never know. :-)
RE: Affairs of the Heart By: Ben C on 3/4/2003; 11:37 PM WHATEVER. RENAL. THIS POEM ROOLS, AND THAT'S FINAL. I DEEM IT SO :ben
RE: Affairs of the Heart By: Owen Rodgers on 3/9/2003; 4:16 AM Thanks, Ben. Wish I hadn't had to feel it to write it. :-)
RE: Affairs of the Heart By: Ben C on 3/10/2003; 1:05 AM yeahhhh....... true. that must've been seriously rough. i'm sorry man. some girls aren't smart. that's all. 'night
RE: Affairs of the Heart By: McCarthy on 1/20/2004; 8:41 PM The question I have, Owen...would you do it all again?
RE: Affairs of the Heart By: Jeff Moore on 4/2/2004; 2:34 AM I wish I could say no. I really do. With her, though? yeah.
RE: Affairs of the Heart By: Gene Santos on 4/2/2004; 4:53 AM The depths are compelling and indeed eternal...Oh,the blackhole of emotions would never take its toll...Nice piece...
RE: Affairs of the Heart By: McCarthy on 4/13/2004; 2:51 AM How, then, do we stay in the place of great love while the waves of ordinary "consequence" crash around us? And, how do we keep hearts open to the current of love that is possible?
RE: Affairs of the Heart By: McCarthy on 4/14/2004; 5:02 PM Ashes On Good Friday I burnt the prunings. Lilac buds all green and ripe that will never flower now. Piles of them. I reduced them to ash and the boy raked the ash over the garden. I look out my window today watching the pouring rain blend the ashes into the earth. Nutrients for some future growth. But the lilac bushes are bare and in shock. With not a bud to be seen. McCarthy/April 14, 2004
RE: Affairs of the Heart By: Mark Morgan on 4/14/2004; 5:45 PM McCarthy, I'm guessing you meant to post this as a new poem, not as a reply?
RE: Affairs of the Heart By: McCarthy on 4/14/2004; 8:34 PM Okay... Jeeze "voices of unreason" and we still have rules. No wonder I get into trouble... Not to worry I posted on poems. Thanks.
RE: Affairs of the Heart By: ghj on 2/9/2005; 11:06 PM mate what you seriously needed to do, at the time, was to pull you head out of your ass... it would have been better if you had done this when she was being nice to you... but then by the sounds of things she gave up on you and left, you have learnt the hard way, or at least i hope you have - good patient girls like that are few and far between. I hope you get another chance.. but there's no point in being dissatisfied with yourself.. you only get one life, regret, what a huge waste of time that is, what good is it going to do you? just accept you were being an asshole, move on and quit whining
RE: Affairs of the Heart By: jazzgrl on 12/21/2006; 1:54 AM I had the same experience recently. I get what you write fully. You were what I missed before, and now again. Forever empty at the loss of you. Exactly what i feel. i just joined this site tonight. Look for my poems.... Gliding into the New Year. Modern Pandoras recent rain J
