Timeless...

...its amazing how love can transcend time, distance, age and sometimes even gender...

i wait for the ocean wave
to whisper your message
washed up on the shore
buried deep in the sand
for centuries
unknown

Brokeback Mountain said it all..it doesn't matter whether love happens to be between two people of the same-sex; in its truest sense it is between two hearts, which feel and care and hurt. It can happen at the most unexpected times in life, in the most unexpected of places and in the most unexpected of ways, and survive against all odds.

i listen to
the song
of raindrops
on window panes
pining and painful strains of
melodies lost

What is love, after all ?!! I suspect it means different things to different people but the fact remains that it is powerful and painful. Break it down to its chemicals, analyse it all you want but I doubt we will ever understand it or be cured of it but sometimes I almost wish we could be!

days, months, years
what are they!
in an eternity
of life-times
spent
waiting,wanting, waiting......

waiting, wanting, waiting...these three words in this same order express the pain and power of love so well.
it's ironical that love can be such a frustrating experience at times.

Without the pain we could never have all the pleasure and as you say such a small word for so many different feelings, when we greave we want to escape from it but when we are ten feet tall with the wonder of it, who could swap that?

I've missed lots cause I've been busy essaying, but I don't think genuine feelings for your friend and the horror that he/she and those around are suffering are a clicha (can't spell that) unless all feelings are and then there would be nothing left to write about

Pins, what a coincidence. After 3 + months, I just went to see Brokeback Mountain today!

Love cannot be defined. What struck me most about the film was its tenderness for both sides of the story, between two men and the reactions of the women who married them.

I would also say that maybe love is perhaps best understood by those caught in its embrace.

Beautiful words (as usual).

Yes Cushion...Love transcends time, space, age or any other barrier.And it hurts. But does that stop one from loving?
This painting of words was remarkable.:):)

Illusion-You put it just right..it IS so ironical! and i love your name illusion :)

CJ-ahhh! u'd have disappointed me had you not said 'never'! ;)

Sue-I guess we wouldn't! :))..I hope all your essaying went well! Its good to have you back here :)

Mermaid-I agree, the betrayal experienced is as much a part of the reality of love as love itself..very perceptive (as usual)!

Anamika-Alas! It doesn't! As almost everybody here as pointed out, nobody wants to be cured of it! :)..its what makes the world beautiful!

I love the form of this post..as if its a juggle between reality(prose) and fantasy(poem)..both filled with same emotion..wanting(love) and wanting to get rid of it(love) at same time..very esoteric!

And so easy when it entails friends or memories of lost loves, but for the present...

the closest i've come to love came from an unexpected place and the experience helped me to see that love is blind and that it does transcend gender. it was the best experience i've yet to have and it opened up my world and i embraced the whole experience. i loved the film as well.

your poetry in between your thoughts in this post was breath-taking. i also wait, and waiting hurts sometimes especially when you are so ready to give your love away.

beautiful thoughts pincushion :)
