Beautiful thick love
So much love waiting for release
seeking to find a way to give
So much unopened love walking around in circles
hear the sound of my love hitting the wall around my heart
I built that wall with my own fear of feelings to stop feeling
The thud competes with the beat of my blood rush
I know now blood is not as thick as this love in me
A beautiful thick love that I sin against
A love that does not see the black and white of life
I just want to give
And I can’t
All our talking is done
The one seam is split
The picture has been reframed in a grain not of my choosing
Choices run rampantly out of my reach
sending a cause and affect
effecting emotions that quake
I am the shaking lover who didn’t dive in to take the plunge
The worst in the world is less a crime
I turn away and each step the length of my goodbye
My shadow looks away ashamed to be seen colluding with this departing
Wrong so very wrong for no happy ending
I breathe out of my spine
my lungs heavy in the drown
Such is life they say
I want to cut out their tongues
So much love waiting for release
I am the worst in my heart with so much love in my heart
seeking to find a way to give

The recipients of that love are going to be well and truly soaked :)

‘so much unopened lovewalking round in circles..’
you speak of heart matters so well..
I hear you and empathise closely knowing the point of bursting,
may it be with love very soon, your waiting over.

Thanks Del….your warm words and love reach across the seas….
I was inspired to write this thinking on how some people keep so much love inside not finding a way to show it to the world ….And it does not have to be in a romantic sense….Some people we see show their love for humanity by doing deeds for their fellow man…
It has always inspired me to learn of an individual who gives without the need of return….I just have always imagined that they have had soooo much love inside of them…xxx

Oh…I am telling you…everyone is on a roll today with their poetry..If I can just take this poem and hide it right underneath my skin I would be content. I would be content holding these words forever…I loved this.
It must be something in the magic of being in this red bubble ….we bounce off each other perhaps :O)x

Loving ya right back xoxoxo

such a plight… love becomes unable to make choices-but seeks to give w/out measure. well written…
Hi MM …thank you for reading this and your insightful thoughts…
a restlessness of wanting to love can be a conundrum me thinks :)

Wonderful – I won’t comment on which are my favourite lines, because there are so many! And I really like the concept of ‘thick love’ – you’ve made me view love in a new way – thank you :)
Hi Susan
So pleased to see you drop and leave some words on this….thick love…Yeh…it can be too thick somedays….x

A beautiful thick love that I sin against
You write this even though you have given so much of your loving self to so many here on RB. No doubt, you have such a deep well of love that you can still write this and/or you see again so clearly our well of poverty as well.
Hi Linda
That line was my cryptic implication that thick love in need of giving can be given in many forms….
not just the romantic type but if we cannot give there….we shelve it when it could maybe be channeled into life in another constructive and loving way ..xxx

I can so identify with so many lines in this poem, as a builder of walls myself, I know this all too well
it is through this knowledge, the burden of too much love, but it is, for love itself cannot consume love is, not to carry, it just is, as air is. As people have written before, you are blessed to be strong enough to love, so thickly
Thickly love does have two sides and one side is smooth and the other is well…you can fill in the gaps..
Thank you reading this and I appreciate your insight, you think on that third level me thinks…x
– Arcadia Tempest
strong write, I’m speechless…
Thank you for reading and your thoughts Elle….appreciate that you did stop by and left me these words :)
