.
always,
there has been
this longing —
(siren’s song
from far away)
pulling me
to paths untraveled
beyond the boundaries
of today
a voice
so sweet
that I must follow
through the night
on winds I ride
passions race
as heart beats thunder
love’s true song
can’t be denied
…

Hi Loujen, I’ve always liked sirens in mythology. I enjoyed your poem “Stoa Attalou”. It gives me the same feeling of antiquity. ~ Dennis

Sent it last night! I am stuck on how far into detail to go because you can see there is many little escapades just to the point of enlisting. After that my life was a roller coaster ride everyday journey of some kind of calamity or urgency. That is why I stopped.

Thanks so much for your kind words. I read your post “The Verbal Sword: Words Hurt”. This is a very powerful poem. I have known many women in similar circumstance. If this is your situation I pray that you will get help from a women’s shelter, or the police. What begins as verbal abuse, escalates into physical abuse. My heart goes out to you. ~ Dennis

Dennis, I couldn’t agree with you more. Thank-you, i’m glad you liked it. “It’s a lie to think you’re not good enough, it’s a lie to think you’re not worth anything” It is sad that we think this. Such wisdom he has!
Also, sorry for my slow follow back. Glad Belinda posted one of your poems to remind me. Enjoy the day.

Hi Benjamin, thanks for your kind words. I enjoyed your post Taboo In Songs? … “When You Were Mine” by Prince. The only limits in love should be those already regulated by law; incest and pedophilia. Anything between consenting adults, done behind closed doors, is private and confidential. Why would anyone want to intrude in another’s bedroom? ~ Dennis
