Third Eye

What is a third eye, what does it see

mine own eyes have played tricks on me 

I see your lips move but the words don't agree

your brash behavior speaks volumes prolifically

your tepid incessant spewing leaves me listless

if I were but wiser I'd not envision this for me

the heart decidedly wants what the mind entangles

Caught up in the Ecstasy of sheer abandonment

the body responds and the eyes close their view

spiritually you've wounded all that we could be

enlighten me with your path of least resistance

the murkiness of heart's desire won't set me free

If love and rapture were insanity I'd be locked away

surely you've never tested the waters long enough to see

Interesting..... is this a love conflict? i am little lost here :O

[jamal]

oh! nvm i got it now >.< sorry i am a slow ...... this was real deep,

"if I were but wiser I'd not envision this for me
the heart decidedly wants what the mind entangles" we learn as we walk :)

An overwhelming dose of imagery and wordplay...and thematically it can go so many ways...great work Frieda :)

[Frieda P]

Thanks, seems that's how my brain works too! ;)

[kublakhan27]

And a great job it does ;) I intend to work through more of your catalogue when time permits^^

[Frieda P]

haha, not so much if you're in there! Thanks, anytime, I'm not going anywhere....

[kublakhan27]

lol I would say the same about myself :P

[quinfinn]

all kidding aside, your "soft underbelly" is truly showing but, this is an appealing attribute to a romantic...so, this poem touches me in places few have ventured without becoming the object of my affection. very nice.

[Frieda P]

That's some praise, thanks so much quinn, do hate when that raw part is exposed though....

[quinfinn]

ahhh, it'll heal soon enough....put on your long handled undies and weather through!

[Frieda P]

LOL long handled undies?!

[quinfinn]

longjohns (or longjanes)...hehehe!!!!

[Frieda P]

I'm still laughing ;D

[Frieda P]

I won't even go there......

Nicely done, Frieda. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

Good one

The third eye sees all unfortunately or fortunately...pain and lingering sorrow of what could have been is always a shudder to the intuition from an enlightened perspective xox

I love this poem so much, it hits to close to home. I have been in a abusive relationship and it was all verbal until the end, but no one really understood when I hinted at what was going on. Abuse is when the person puts there hands on you, and that is not true. There are so many woman out there that is being verbally abused it is heart breaking. I have been there and it was so hard to be with him and go through it, then it was hard to get away.
Thank you so much for sharing this piece with us, it was very well written and I just love it.

thanks kimmy, I know exactly what you mean, I'm on a different survivor site and you can't imagine how many women like yourself are stuck in that situation, I'm glad you're one of the one's that got out....

[kimmy]

You are so welcome, it was very hard and I dealt with this for a long time. I didn't know what to do and I was embarrassed I let someone use me like he did and you know, but I stayed for a long time. Now that I am out I am scared to death and to be honest I think I truly let anyone close to me like that, even if I date. I keep everyone on the other side of the wall :(

[Tarry Franck]

Excellent job. It flowed very well. Loved it :)

[khalid]

very nicely penned and expressed. there is always something behind what we can really see. this thing maybe seen by the third eye which we dont usually have. i think that ladies do really have a third eye or what is called the sixth sense..
i liked it really
