Will Hope be Shattered by Loss?By: Annette Thomas
I can’t be with her anymore;As a friend, lover, or otherwiseIt is not worth my sanity and heart.It hurts each time she walks away.
The first time, I completely gaveHer my soul, everything I had;And she walked away, leavingMe broken and trampled on.
The second time, we agreed onlyTo friendship. Once more, I gaveIt all that I had; opening myselfUp yet again, only to have her leave.
And this third time, she spoke ofMaking it work together and toSpeak if I had concerns or wasWorried about something.
At first, I was taken to theDepths of doubt. I questionedWhat could go wrong and allThat was good in the relationship.
But still, I held onto hope.Hope for a life together.Hope for happiness again.Hope for love’s resurrection.
She claimed I was trying tooHard. Is that not what peopleDo in relationships? Try andStrive to give it your best shot.
Well, you know the drill.She left, asking me to stopCalling and “enjoy” my day.What the hell?
“I’m over it,” I said, butIt still hurts as I had givenMyself to her completely,Only to have her vanish.
Despite it all, I was Hopeful. I gave it my all.I tried with everything in me.Will hope be shattered by loss?
Yesterday, when I was at Unity of Fort Collins (after meeting with the folks at Heart Talks), I found my answer. It was sitting on the shelf of freebies in the Community Corner. There was a blue bracelet calling to me. It had one single word on it: Hope. There is love out there for me (so everyone says). Will I find it? Will I have to wait a year and a half to go out on another date? I don't know, but I do know this: I will hope. My hope will not be shattered by loss. So, I'm taking this to my blog and I will share my story with you as a confessional poet. I simply ask that you, too, hope. Don't let anyone take that from you. Long live hope!

Today, I find myself needing to hug my heart and tell myself that it is ok to love again. It is ok to let the love flow again regardless of the outcome. So today I write...
Hug Your HeartBy Annette Thomas(February 11, 2017)
Sometimes the feeling of Love takes over your mindAnd there is nothing elseThat you can think about.
The longing to be held in Someone’s arms, especially THAT someone, can be An inextinguishable desire.
However, if you have been Hurt before the thoughts Don’t stop there. No, Fear and doubt creep in.
The questions start toParalyze you: Why?How? What if this? What if that? When…
Don’t let this overpowerYou. Let the love flowFreely from your beingAnd hug your heart.

Today I am grateful for having experienced love. I am glad that I had that. Not everyone gets to experience being completely embraced. Long live love!
Completely Embracedby Annette Thomas
The beauty and tenderness of love embraces my heart,as the yearning desireand unrestrained passionembraces my body and the magic euphoria of romance embraces my mind...but more thananything it's theaffection and connectionthat completely embraces my soul.

Today I am grateful for the smiles and encouragement of others. I am going to figure this out and get through this. Long live love, friendship and family!
The Most Beautiful Smile
by Annette Thomas
Yours is the
Most beautiful smile
That I have ever seen.
It can brighten
Up a room with
Just a simple look.
It tempts even
The pessimist
To return a smile.
Yours is the
Most beautiful smile
That I have ever seen.

21 Days of Gratitude for Love: Day 16
Today I am grateful for the control beyond that which I have. The kind where you breathe and let go of all that is because there is nothing else you can do. Today I am grateful that I can breathe and do that. Today I am also grateful for people with listening ears and words of encouragement. Thank you all. I love you. Long live love, friendship and family!

21 Days of Gratitude for Love: Day 14
I was told that my writing says a lot about what I am feeling at the present moment. This is somewhat true, yet I have to confess not completely accurate, as I do not post everything that I feel. I do not reveal my innermost feelings here on this public forum regardless of what you think you are "reading" into what I am writing. Some of what I have posted is from years ago. Poems I wrote back in 2009 about a whirlwind love with someone that shall remain nameless (but you know who you are). As a result of this discussion, I am posting today's poem. Long live love!

If I were fearless,
I’d tell you whatMy lips have longedTo speak.
I’d take the risk.
I’d express the wordsThat are caught inMy throat.
If only I were brave.
I’d take the risk.
