Under a lovers gaze stoic and stubborn
I fight for you,
in watchful waiting the power of my mind
spurs me on…
The tiredness of these determined efforts for you,
to strive is hard to do.
With strength needed as not to succumb
I walk on and on,
for there can never be amongst this pain
nothing left for you ?
Don’t ever think I do not clearly see
for if only my eyes could shut out all,
to mar, inflict distress, destroy the purity of,
impair, fatally ruin – All this !
Through my smiles, the anguish of my heart,
flows in time with this wretched beast
as it continues it’s wicked path.
Under my lovers gaze, I fight for you.
*“There is freedom within
There is freedom without
try to catch the deluge in a paper cup,
there’s a battle ahead, many battles are lostâ€

Your words exude such sadness this morning, Susie. They overwhelm me, and yet I understand. “Under my lovers gaze, I fight for you” … yes, indeed. You and Hamada are in my thoughts and prayers. ♥
I do not think all will understand this latest verse as you will Dianne, but I must be accurate to my feelings about this latest blow. I promised only truthful words, feelings that also overwhelm me at times. Love to you X
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!

Susie,
How my heart aches for you.. I check often for some good news, a turn in the curve.. your poetry captures such emotions and the journey.. seek comfort in knowing that we are all out here.. hoping, praying, wanting it all to be better.

Thank you, I have recently been searching for information about this topic for ages and yours is the best I have discovered so far.
great stuff. Do you have a RSS feed? And will it be cool if I added in your feed to a blog of mine? I have a website which pulls content by RSS feeds through a couple of sites and I would like to add yours, a lot of folks do not mind since I link back and everything but I like to get approval 1st. Anyhow let me know if you can, thank you.
I truly enjoy reading on this site, it has wonderful articles . “I have a new philosophy. I’m only going to dread one day at a time.” by Charles M. Schulz.
