I would like to take a moment of time to say that I love to write here at Destee’s place. There is a feeling of family here, but, most of all… I can be whoever I want to be here.
Sometime awhile back, I wrote some poetry and someone asked if this was about my husband, I indignantly replied that it was not. The poem was about my husband, in fact, the whole 'series of trees' had him in mind. I was embarrassed to say that it was about him because I wrote some pretty heartbreaking stuff about him and didn’t want to admit that I still loved him. I am sorry to mislead anyone. I have been with my husband off and on for 18 years and have hope that one day our marriage will not be so rocky.
I explained to my husband that my poetry is ‘creative writing’ and that he should not count every word to be my innermost feelings, especially when I need to vent or times that we have split up and I have sat up late just writing whatever whim came into my head. Mostly, he was upset at my response to a particular piece where I denied him and said that I had someone new... and that was just my selfish attempt not to look dumb to everyone by still loving him.
I must apologize again, I never meant to mislead or hurt anyone, my husband has always and will be first in my heart.
There are people here that I consider good friends, although we have never met… I relate to their writing that well. Then there is blakverb who, after a 'good conversation' on the page about his poetry, we decided to be related/family - ‘brother’ and ‘sister’ (we are all family here at Destee’s, anyway, thanks to Destee).
Well, I just needed to get this off my chest. At times, my marriage has given me a multitude of emotions that pour out in all types of ways so I needed to make clear who I am...
Thank you all for being supportive and patient with me.
Cindy
