I remember the song called Sweet Surrender by Bread. I think your description is beautiful. Surrendering to a feeling is a scary thing. Takes all of your trust. Great poem. Gretchen

Some relationships are so strong that no matter how hard we try we simply can't stay away. It may be toxic, but the pull is so strong that we can't resist. I enjoyed reading this poem and the entire presentation.

The picture is superb. The writing matches breath for breath. You are the queen. Why some big publishing house hasn't snatched you up is beyond me. I enjoy all your writing even when I don't have time to review it all, rest assured I read it. Karen :-)

That's sad if the couple are not good for one another because one has an addiction problem or personality disorder. Those reasons to stay away should not be washed by the rain.

    It was fun. We took two of the grandkids and three of the neighbor kids for frozen yogurt. It was so fun to see them chatting away and enjoying themselves!

    ah... yes, the sound of girls chatting and laughing is endearing. I remember mine. I am happy you all had a fun time.

    I miss my family, I am glad they are coming back today. I was in a weird mood last night, crying watching movies ... lol. sometimes it's good to have a good cry out for no reason. I don't get to do it when they are around, I don't want to scare them.

    love,

Hello Gypsy, this is what I call an ooh-la-la poem. Attraction and anticipation are powerful feelings--be it right, or be it wrong. It just there, and it exists. Of note:

let the rain cleanse off
the reasons to stay away

Beautiful presentation. Well done. Xo. M
