I wrote this sort of as one of those letters you write, but don't necessairly intend to send. Just sharing and would appreciate any positive or negative comments.
************************************
Dear R-

I don’t quite know how to put this
So I’m writing it in a poem
Things I can’t say to your face
Or through Internet lines of phone

I long to have the daring
To candidly converse
But in relationships, I progress
From natural friendship first

I’m well aware that won’t,
Just “happen” if I hide
Behind my past excuses
I must let go of this guide

Perhaps you aren’t conscious
Of my innate outgoing ease
That emerges with strangers
But when you’re near, is seized

I become less restrained
As the night turns real late
Succumbing more to impulse
And less in fear of fate

The emotions and the hopes
You seem to stir
I can’t sort into categories
The way I usually prefer

In this private and revealing
Confession of dreams
I can pour out my soul
Without lost self-esteem

With you I want
To dance and feel casual
Illogically impossible
Cause you are so approachable

But at this time when I
Should truly send this your direction
I’ll find a route that won’t
Even reveal my affection

So now I close this dream world door
And lay down in my bed
Silently mourning, what could have been
If I wasn’t stuck in my paranoid head

Sincerely, Kat (the girl who draws)

Kat...that is an honest and heart felted letter. Whomever you are writing it to will feel the truth and emotions behind it.

Maybe just by posting it here, you are sending it into the ethers and somehow (on some level) they will get it

Thanks YIVY! I do hope that somehow he will recieve it. The Aries in me enjoys projecting the image that I don't need anyone or anything cause I am so sElf-sufficent, but then I end up feeling very lonely, and words on paper are always easier expressions. Maybe that ease with words is just my Mercury and Sun in Virgo showing through....(((grin)))

BTW, if I have his birthday right, the person who this letter is directed at is a Taurean, with a moon in Pisces, mercury in Aries, Venus in Gemini and Mars in Capricorn.
Not that it matters, but it was awfully interesting....

Kat,
That's lovely. I like the rhythm of your poem. It reminds me of Emily Dickenson's rhythm. Hers was somewhat like the old gospel songs because her father was a preacher. Reading hers was almost like singing a song. Your poem is like that too

Thanks everyone for all the encouraging comments. I think it might be best to get to know the person I wrote the poem/letter to better before I'd actually show it to him. Showing it to him first might scare him off cause of the intensity of my feelings. I fall for guys way too easily, getting mysElf overly involved too soon. Any one else have any comments or cristicism?

VAA...it's been my observation that most Aries are a lot of bluster with that -
'so what..you can't hurt me, I'm too independent to care'
attitude. Most Arieans are just soft marshmallows inside, needing perhaps more love than a lot of others....they are just too scared to let anyone know it.

Perhaps they think it will tarnish that MARS image, I don't know. But not once has all that bravado fooled me. I see the shy inner heart asking for someone to love them just as they are.

Maybe you need to let him see that little girl inside who really needs a hug???

Hello.

Do You Know ...
I Am in the same Way
I have these words written into My silent tongue
waiting to spill forth
not only through My Mouth
but through My Be-ing

I so naturally go to touch Him, or hold Him
And don't,
for Every reason, in all its Essence, as what You wrote.
I promise You, it Is like I wrote it.
I have written much like it too...
But what touched Me most, in its *Synchronicity*, is how I don't Know Really Him well, as You write. He lives in another state, and I see Him, have seen HIm, when I see Him, You know?
I had not seen Him for a year, until We met again. That was only two months ago, and I am still reeling in the Presence, even though He is home. I feel this Now, every day, and then I read Your words,
And I witness another Being who Is the same as I, in this Moment.

Thank You, very much for sharing .. with Me
and with Every One else here, who are touched.
If You want to send Your letter, Do it only when You KNOW it's time. Besides, You might write more since then

I Am, Now, like this:
I want to Know Him and allow Him to Know Me
before .. Every thing ...
If by living Our lives, walking Our Paths,
We meet somewhere in the middle
and it's Beautiful ...

then so Be it

Love to You,
Novalee

Novalee-
Thanks for your kind words. I am trying to build a relationship, even if it only turns out as a friendship, through conversations with the person I "wrote" the letter to. Slowly, but surely, I hope it will become something more, perhaps on a level where I feel comfortable sharing this. He seems receptive to talking, and that is a start. I have learned how important timing is from reading and observing other members on these boards...
How is your situation going? What has happened with your guy?

Not that it matters, but I did send this letter/poem, to the person it was written to, yesterday. He has not yet responded, and perhaps he never will, but a large burden of anxiety has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel so free!!!

At least he knows that he is not alone. Whether he chooses to accept, and deal with that fact is up to him....

Kat, I k-NOW it will touch him. Your poem is so beautiful and honest. Whatever he will do or not, it will always be with him. This is your gift to him.

If it's such a good thing that I sent it, why does it hurt so much that he doesn't bother to respond? I try to keep up a brave front for myself, but then I wonder what's the point of being brave...
I am very hurt that he continues to check his mail, send e-mail to the e-mail list we both belong to and still stay silent.

He responds in the astral--from his Heart to yours. If you listen, you can hear...

What do you mean, Randall?
How can someone respond "in the astral"?
I'm a little confused...

We are all connected, but a bond of Love (even if unreturned on this physical plane) creates a channel of communication that supersedes the physical. When we sleep, we visit the astral (which sometimes includes the near future). I have sometimes consciously contacted others in the astral (Ordained it before going to sleep), even though I can't recall the events upon awakening. In the astral, we are free from Ego and fear. All I'm really saying is that if he read your words and made an intentional effort not to respond, he will respond to you on a Soulular level when the two of you meet in the very real world of dreams. And your Heart will get its answer, whatever that answer is.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I have hope that I'll recieve some sort of response from him, whether it be in this plane or another. I can be patient. If this is not meant to be, I'd just like to put some closure on it...

To Roja,

Missing your the sunshine of your face for a long time...
Missing the breeze that was my breath for a long time...
Five days have crawled like years...
Please...
Let SOMETHING happen...
We are in Love...
We live in a dream which must turn real...
Please,
Listen to your heart and take the courage,
When will the day come when We would have each other in each other's arms,
in addition to the hearts?
When will the day come when we share not only hearts, but also lives?
When will the day come, when instead of living seas apart, we would cuddle each other?
It lies at a distance that is too close.
Too close.
Please...
Let SOMETHING happen...


The Locked Heart

The Aries in me is screaming.....I want him to respond!
idiot that he is...

To raj, I know it's hard waiting for people when you need to talk to them. Good luck. May your beloved feel the intensity of your feelings across the miles.

Maybe you should write him again and ask him what he thinks of it. A Taurus appreciates persistence. By the way, don't call him an idiot when you write.
