Poem: My love is in knowing
My love is in knowing...
I can read those thoughts
That cruise through your mind
I can see the hurt
That I have left behind
*
I know the way your eyes
Fill up when I am mean
You always hurt in silence
You never make a scene
*
I can sense your heart
And its dreams and pride
I knew who you are
As I came along for the ride
*
I'm not always perfect
I end up hurting you
I sometimes leave your pride
Bruised black and blue
*
But remember my love
Even when you dont show
I'll heal all those wounds
For I'll always know
*
My love is caring, sharing
My love is being, showing
But most of all my darling
My love is in knowing.

Thanks for reading.. and the thumbs up!
Beautiful sentiments expressed so well. Simple and effective use of language. I just wonder how we hurt those whom we love the most, unthinkingly and we seem to take their forgiveness for granted .. please do not take it as a judgement of your attitude but more as a general outlook on life. I really loved this poem.

Thank you for your comments. I agree with the fact that we may hurt people unthinkingly but more importantly sometimes unknowingly as one may not always know what words,actions and sentiments hurt others until you are well into a relationship. I wrote this some years ago, when I realised it is not always possible to navigate the paths of a loving relationship without unwittingly treading on a sensitive spot- the key is in reflection, retraction, empathy and 'knowing', understanding and constant communication and as you say not taking the forgiveness for granted. A strong relationship is based on these foundations and not assumptions and an instant expectation of forgiveness, I am sure you will agree. Really appreciate your visit and taking the time to read my work!
wow...simply lovely. Life is so very complicated. We love someone dearly and at the same time end up hurting the same person badly but again.....love heals and thus it blossoms!

Wise words, sonia05.. love hurts, heals and blossoms. Is that why the Rose is always born with a thorn? Thanks for dropping by.
That's what it's like in a relationship, Docmo.....you've captured it well!
It's beautiful, Docmo! Voted up and beautiful and I love your photo. :)
Mohan (Docmo),
I enjoyed reading this beautifully expressive poem. Someimes we do something without realizing at the time what the initial consequences will be. In the end, though, love heals.
Wow. beautiful. this really hit home. i have been that girl. blindsided when a dumb guy has said something cruel and i keep it inside so i dont look like a baby, or just to be childish. and then the light goes off in his thick head and he comes back and apologizes. those are the feelings your words brought up. bittersweet.
you never cease to amaze me with your insight and the beauty of your words.
It is said we hurt the ones we love the most! I don't know why this is but your poem acknowledges the hurt and makes amends. Lovely words, Docmo, my votes to you. I love your image also, is that a pink bouganvillia?

Daisy- you are right, we can hurt the ones closest to us unwittingly and it scars much deeper. thanks for reading.

Dana, Iam glad this captured the difficulties of relationships. Even 'non' dumb partners can hurt each other. I think having the emotional intelligence to appreciate this and attempting to remedy this is the key. Thanks for reading!

Even when you dont show
