on the precipice

at the edge of something ...

On the precipice
yielding
body
soul
slippery
trying to keep
itself
anchored
within my
skin
I feel
it begin
sliding
becoming
wanting
to be
free --
come back
I can't
lose
my heart
not again
just when
it came
back
to me.

Powerful - I felt this - so hard to contain the heart, it is a force unto itself, brilliant x

[Coyote Poetry]

I could feel the struggle in the poem. Dancing on edges not knowing to give in or run from the possibility of love. Very nice use of words and thoughts. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

For something to seem outstanding to you, one whose work transports me to romantic neverlands, I am truly touched.

[Madalyn Beck]

This one hit me hard. You are spot on with this. The heart wants what the heart wants, whether you feel you are ready or not. It's almost a beautiful torture. Great write! xo (:

[Lyn Anderson]

a beautiful torture indeed.

You know cat there is no way to protect the darn thing it has a mind of its own.

[Lyn Anderson]

Ahh, this I think must be true, for the angel says it is so.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Lol....you know the angel has been wrong on very few occasions :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Hmmmm… Love waits for nothing including the healing of the heart, actually it can help it mend faster.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much, I think.:)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Oh yes it was a good thing. Any poem that makes me think is good :)

i felt this one time, for 20 years...and i held on to it too hard...missed so much during that time...was glad when i let it go again...yes, there was more pain in store...but i had forgotten what it was like to feel...and safe isn't always the best thing.

nicely penned.

[Lyn Anderson]

safe isn't better, but it's safe, isn't that it? :)
