Understanding

A never ending search into emotions deep mysteries

Understanding
me
is not so easy
not as easy as say being free

Understanding
is
the one thing you said
you needed to take from me

Understanding
I
thought you did
but the knife in your hand bit deep

Understanding
was
all you wanted to do
then you did, and now were through

Understanding
how
you entwined your thoughts
into my sinews, muscles and heart

Understanding
that
we are now somehow far apart
even so you hold my soul

Understanding
I knew nothing at all
that I still love you

Just Not Understanding
is the mystery
that longing inside

Author's Note

Nothing special here

These thoughts are certainly special - each stanza is a concentration of ideas and a focal point of attention.

Understanding
me
is not so easy
not as easy as say being free...

I love the musicality of the opening stanza as well as the meaning of the words. Good stuff.

I seemingly understand that you delivered justice in this piece when tackling the subject matter. Nice write.

[Coyote Poetry]

Understanding of people is very important. Each of us are different. Need to find a place where words and desires are express without fear or revenge. Understanding is a under-rated word. If we understood each other in this world. World would be a better place. Thank your for a amazing poem. Made me think this morning.

Great contents of imagery! Many of us can relate to this well written poem! Is too a special poem!

[Poetic Beauty]

Sometimes it takes many many years to get over a deep love sometimes we have to make ourselves let go and move past. That is easier said than done and this poem clearly describes all of that.

This IS something special to read. It is very well written and easy to relate to. Something that's actually quite close to my own heart.

Oh yes something very special here and it show the longing of the lonely soul as it goes on without the one it needs...love hun

This poem cuts the core of understanding how heart became so broken. Where did things go so sour when they once tasted so sweet. Lovely!

I liked the repetition of understanding, it really brought this poem home for me. I understand this completely.
