Does it disappear

I’m tired of this burning

very nice...that no mans land...falling in and out, empty and full...history so hot it's memory smolders beneath the ashes of today, keeping the promise of heat alive. Many long term relationships know this song. well written - thank you

I like this one, I think the rhyme works better than some of your rhymed poems, and I have read it several times and can't quite figure out why. Usually when rhyme are put on the ends of irregular length lines and the pattern of rhyming is an irregular pattern, or non-pattern, I don't care for it. But this one simply works for me. I thought the pain was love-sickness and for this the healing is just time, I guess. Nothing at all like the pain in the other poem, in my opinion.

A strong poem; but a bit too many 'of's' for my liking. You show the loss and the innocence but you don't offer the reader the revelation that one can actually heal themselves. I like your other poem on the same subject better because it does offer the concept of moving beyond what was done through a healing process. This is a very difficult kind of poem to write. a poet friend RH Peat

Starting with a poignant oxymoron, you relate more in what you don't say than some have said in volumes. Impressive, succinct - leaves the same feeling as if you had revealed all.

Very emotional and deep Sonya. I am sure others can relate to your honesty and this makes for a heartfelt poem. 'with the passing of time does it heal the wound in my heart? ' I really like the Empty Fill title too! Well done! 10 love Karin

The paradoxical title is wonderful andthe poem is littered with pain, remorse and heartfelt regret - exactly the sort of love poem I can readily relate to! S :)

this is hot and arousing...how could you bring out this much sensation in the end in an otherwise harmless looking write? ...lovely and clever...10

no sonya, emptiness does not Disappear even after the best of efforts (i too have experienced it...) .... it seems to be the silent beckoning by the Almighty to tread towards Him...try it dear, to see it for yourself....

Sonya, when I read your sad and very romantic words I am back in the balcony seat at the theatre... the name of the musical, Miss Saigon... I see Kim, this beautiful vietnamese girl... singing with a voice filled with so much pain and sorrow... though years have gone, she has never forgotten that single night... I don ´t have to add that I liked your poem a lot, do I?

'Tired of waiting for nothing to come true 'Tired of waiting for nothing to come true Tired of waiting for nothing from you' what a forlorn refrain. What lovely, sad thoughts, and really intense imagery. Your own brand of love poetry is beginning to be the one which sticks with me forever, and is not ever to be replaced with any other kind because that would just leave me hungrier and hungrier with nothing else that could ever satisfy in quite the same way as yours did.
