T O P I C R E V I E WAyeletGulliverWhy won't you cryin my lap, Gulliver,and tell me stories I'd storein my mind, Gulliver.I am empty inside and quite yearning,like a womb in a rush,Needing to touchyour hand,feel your aura surroundingmy midget of a heart,know I need not fear,all storm and collapse would detachfrom this frailty,and I'd be restoredin your arms, mighty legend,an artist in the makingof your lifeSwift FreezeAre you okay?I find your pieces very touching, and recently in a melancholy way. I love experiencing every spectrum of emotion, so please understand I am not asking you to stop, or to change.I'm just asking, if you're okay. =)------------------Learn lots. Don't judge. Laugh for no reason. Be nice. Seek Happiness. Follow your dreams.AyeletThank you for appreaciating what I write. I am and I ain't, haven't realised it showed so much. Thanks for your concern.AyeletI am sorry I cannot elaborate, it is too personal. I have elaborated before and kind of regretted it, even though I received warm responses.PearltyLike your last poem "what you did" I found this one soulful as well, but more sadness written into it. It's helpful no matter how uneasy it may feel, to bring it up, out, and keep writing. If you need anything Ayelet my email can be found by clicking on my name above...just so you know. mirage29{{ }} ... AyeletPearlty, I appreciate your offer. I may accept it, but just so you'll understand, I really wish to be positive and to exude the "good sport" kind of attitude. Rambling over my woes is something that at the moment is hard for me to do. I hope my poetry will take an optimistic turn, but I see that I fail to do that somehow. I write what I feel like writing, what comes into my mind, and I would rather it to be brighter. Nevertheless, it's like you wrote, one needs to take things off the system, and writing is a way of doing just that. Yet, I believe writing need be alchemy, that through it one can transform the feelings and thoughts towards a higher dimension, where magic can happen and turn the tide into a clearer, cleaner wave. I don't know whether I succeed in doing that.Mirage, a hug to you too Randall PearltyAyelet,Thanks for your response. I find optimism is a two way street, and it's okay not be optimistic at times, in fact it's darn right healthy to mull over a situation and dissect both the positive and negative aspects. I wouldn't think of it as 'rambling woes' I would think of it as being more on the lines of working through- overcoming and little by little disassembling those hindering-bothersome walls. Toward that 'higher dimension' as you mentioned or feeling situated contently in a good place. Took me forever, or what seemed like forever, to finally have that coursing through my life regularly, along with the tribulations which still come and go, naturally. Writing has been a great benefactor- Past, present, and future and I hope it is for you too. The downside or the other side of the street with happy go lucky optimism for me...the reading world or as I see it, is backwards! When the internet was fairly new to me, I had started my first blog. It was some poetry, personal happenings, journaling..etc. Being how I am- I would test a little bit, out of curiosity and to also gain a sense of exactly what/who was out there in the vast blankness. When things were good and or positive- I would write as such each day..I would have my usual visitors, close friends, my mom, a few acquaintances I had a met over the wires. However; as life does, when an occasional curve ball would come my way, something problematic for instance- my tongue (writing) would get sharper, undeniably bitter, with the atmosphere more situational driven and destitute collapsing around me. My! I would have aunt so and so, a long lost cousin, various strangers, distant friends I hadn't talked to in years..sniffing around. I swear some live for and can pick up a scent of drama a mile away. It was my own preference thereafter not to waste my creative writing in return for chaos and for their entertainment purposes. It was more important for me to stay true to myself, than having numbers. That experience of course had to do with creative-freely writing/blogging. Poetry is another medium all together. One in which is a beautiful source for clearing the system..saying as little or as much as one desires. I have many sad poems...dark and chilly- tucked away, written previously. I'm glad they make up the body of my work too, they have their place, as do those deeply personal emotions. For me it's a strong reminder to appreciate when things are on the upswing and going well.As for you, I can definitely think of something you could feel optimistic about. You have a wonderful poetry gift. Your writing is eloquent, poised, soft, and real. and we are all the better for having you share here as you do. Sometimes we don't realize just how much we learn from the tender and vulnerable side of human nature via another's poetry.. mirage29Very well said, my Pearlty!! omygodifeelahugcomingonAyelettttt!!!ahhhhhhhhwhoahhhh running, **body-pounce** {{{{{{{ }}}}}}}(I gotch you!~ heh~ heh ~heh) . . . AyeletThank you so much, Pearlty, for the warm words... Yes, I can understand how writing about the negativity outside poetry (or prose or any other close medium) can simply create drama and entertainment, and I naturally back off from such performance.Did you ever publish your sad poems, or are they "tucked away", as you said, for good?

LF DXA very poignant one, emotional, great one Aye.And speaking of the things of writing negative material, In my experience I can't help it, more or less because it's the only way I can express what I have inside of me, and most of my life I only wrote negative things, because I was a very depressive kid, pessimistic and stuff. Only these past two years I started to write more positive things for having more life experiences and learning to enjoy myself and people more. But I still am kinda pessimistic, hahaha.It's impossible to keep repressed what's inside, it'll kill you, you don't need to post those dark emotions transformed in verses if you don't want to, but you should never question the utility of writing in the darkest time, without that I would be dead or insane.Keep up going.Cheers.mirage29Okay Pearlty {{{{{{{ }}}}}}}Ayelet Here is a poem I left here about three years ago now. <edit>AyeletPearlty, I'm glad that I've seen the positivity coming out from you.

I'm glad things have developed for the better for you.I agree repression is the wrong strategy.
