the love i wanted......Poetry Pantry # 97

“I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, 
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.”
Pablo Neruda
❤

can you hear 
me where you are?
“the love”
i 
wanted
so bad
it hurt
the only
love
i
wanted
and 
was 
denied
our love
was a
secret
actually
there
was a
shadow
for real
and 
we had
a love
between
the shadow
and
the 
soul
i’m wondering
can you 
think
of 
me 
now



“i wrote this and it was fun.”

Oh, yes. Beautifully said and I know I wont be the only one who says, oh, yes, that's just how it was.

I am sure the writing was fun. Feels so. I am also sure the loving described was not. Feels so. You did a good job.

Love and roses - what could be more beautiful?

We had a love between the shadow and the soul... I love that.

Wow! I'm glad you wrote this ~ and it was fun! I've also wondered, "can you think of me now".
