Attachment when we first meet is the happiest time of life
detachment when it all ends is miserable for us all.
So why do we keep going back with the chance of suffering more
perhaps it’s what happens in between when we are totally enthralled
maybe it’s the enticement of some fresh and new
maybe it’s the first time they start kissing you
maybe it’s the first time when you cuddle up or spoon
or maybe it’s the first time of making love like you have nothing to lose.
The time we spend when sharing, caring walking hand in hand
and experiencing special moments and jokes no one else will understand
maybe it’s because we laugh and feel totally in bliss
and because we can not imagine and end to all of this.
But when it does it is so painful and you feel that your heartbreaks
when you lying in you bed alone going over things wide awake
when wine or ice cream does not cut and your life’s full of sad love songs
when you wonder if this will ever change or could you ever be so strong
as to get yourself back together like a jigsaw piece by piece
Just longing for that moment when the pain will be released.
This is the trouble with attachment in world of duality and love
there is two side to relationships not simply love and lust
bad sadness pain and loneliness but what else can we do
it’s not like we have no choice because in the end we prove
that experiencing being human means experiencing life
and you can not hope to do this is you don’t experience both sides.

I love all of your posts; I feel completely attuned to your thoughts. Perhaps it’s a kind of – yes, I’ve been there and done that – sort of feeling. And now what?
I’ve found some relief in insight meditation but, as you pointed out, we are here to live this life and part of the package is learning how to deal with painful situations and negative emotions. It’s really tough but I’m sure there’s a purpose for us for being here so… hang in there knowing that you are not the only one going through whatever you are going through now!
A big hug and a smile.

Thank you and I am touched that it resonates with you and that we share similar life experiences.

Fauxcroft, I agree with you. To experience life fully you must experience life in all its aspects. I would never change a thing, it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all, so we have heard manys times in general conversations.

The yogic principle of “aparigraha” speaks to this…non-attachment, non-grasping, non-clinging. A lot of my poetry has this theme, because I live it as best I can, but it’s always a conscious effort. In the moment is where to be, but the mind often of has other ideas. 😊 Mindfulness is key.

Can I say something? I don’t believe we have no choice whether to feel pain or love. In fact, in this world of duality we have more choices that being attached to a world of oneness without love. If there is raining outside I may decide to dance in the rain or not to get wet and run inside. If the sun is burning my skin I may decide to enjoy it while jumping into the pool and swim or may just go inside in the shade. I find the duality and love to be working perfectly for me. I decide whether I want to feel sad or happy, because I constantly change my perspective and use the situation to benefit me. I love being a human with no complications in my heart, no matter how restricted the real life may become sometimes.

Totally agree. We always have a choice and to state differently is to try and abdicate responsibility for those choice. I appreciate your views and comments as always so no need to ask if you can comment. Love is awesome and to live a life never having experienced it is a truly sad life.
