After my marriage of 15 years ended I became involved with a man whom I thought was forthright and honest, an honorable type and fell head over heels in Love. (STUPID) During the course of that relationship I began to write poetry - It just began to flow out of me like someone had opened the flood gates. All of the poetry on this site was written during the period of time spent with this individual.
Those 5 years were the most eye awakening years of my life. I learned more about Love, Hate, Lies, Lust, Honesty, Truth, Pride, Dignity, Pain and Sorrow then I ever really wanted to know. I learned that the nature of mankind is such that no matter how well you think you know someone you should never have "Blind Trust" in anyone. And that the only person you can truly have faith and trust in is yourself.
It's been 5 years since that relationship ended. How I got through the first 2 years after it ended I'm still not quite sure. It wasn't until I began a relationship with a man who was a friend of mine (and my Ex-husbands)who I'd known for about 25 years that I began to really enjoy life. He and I are Great Friends as well as Lovers and for the first time in my Life I feel content with my relationship. I am finally happy and the problems I deal with are every day things and have nothing to do with my feelings for him or vice-versa.
As Such, I have begun to write poetry again. I still write about thing that motivate me with strong emotion but, I've found that the subject matter has expanded and is no longer isolated to such a personal level as Love and Hate.
My horizons have expanded!
I'll be updating soon....
Enjoy VP
