The concealed intercourse

Rough.
And yet detached.
And delicate were his hands,
smiling his eyes,
as disturbing was his heart.

Authentic, genuine, but not enough to pull her down.
Like a sexual intercourse where she is cold and frigid and he strives to make her come.

When she cannot stand the truth because she wants to believe to the tale she created, so bad.
She wants to believe those attentions were real,
she wants to believe that every morning-after those caresses were meant for her.

Idealist,
and wearing her best 'herself',
an elegant pain,
and an elegant half of a half love,
trying to believe that waht she saw through the crack on the wall
was the real her, the real him, the real them together.

when he was making love to her,
and yet he wasn't there,
when his hands were exploring her body
and a moment after he was forgetting all about her curves.

As if it never happened,
as if the two of them together that long forgotten day
had been a genuine forgetful moment of irrationality
after which the truth needs to be dismissed because useless,
because worthless.

Rough, again,
and authentic in his concealment.
No fuss, no forgiveness, no justification.


Simply the truth, that truth that words cannot convince nor change,
not as much as actions can.

And she remembers him
in that night, and his panting breathe,
his orgasm disguised and almost ashamed, because too true,
and his distant eyes afterwards,
his breathing on her neck holding on to pleasure,
holding on to the joy of the flesh, her flesh so warm next to him.

And she needs to remember how she felt,
allowing him there for the first time in a long time
for his authenticity, the same genuinity that had her falling in love in another life.

And tonight she needs to remember
in his roughness, his detachment,
and in the concealed truth,
that nothing is meant to be good,
nothing is meant to stay the same,
nothing is meant to progress either
as long as she keeps on hoping in fairytales,
as long as she wants to make a flower grow in aridity.

She will be transparent for him, for them,
making it so easy to go unnoticed at all.

I wonder if this is a real experience you had. And I wonder if the person you are talking about knows how you are feeling because of that detachment. I also wonder if you knew about that detachment already and if you accepted it nevertheless and why you did it.
Anyway, great post.

Thanks :)
Uhm.
This is a narration of a life experience I had yes and I don't really believe that the other person needs to know how I feel cause it's all about me and my sensations in this matter, as usual, I should add.
Why did I do that? For fun, to defeat boredom, to enjoy some moments out of my weird inner life at the moment. Is that enough to do somehting like this knowing no future whatsoever will ever come out of it? I don't know, but that is how I work lately.

I remembered you today. I was watching Fringe, don't know if know this series, it's science-fiction one, and there is a personage there called Olivia. There is two Olivias, actually. One in our reality and the other into another reality. The realities are very similar with each other, but not totally similar.
In our world, Olivia is a bit sad, "with a sad smile and joyless eyes", as they said there. But in the other world she is very happy.

Reading your words, I asked myself if in the other world the "alternative Anna" would have written different words here, today...

Oh...I missed your comments :)

Uhm, I guess the alternative Anna today would have written the same thing but with a different point of view 'Thank God for pushing away the prats from my life!' :)

its possible that this person was not able to express hiself (to himself oryou),and just seemed detached while inside he defaulted to an easy way out, just playing the role of the boy-man. What is intamacy but being able to have a conversation without hiding from yourself? There are people Ive known that were harer to know than others. All I can do is be myself and keep the fantasy to a minimum, but if you are not conflicted by fantasy, I think that can work too, as long as there is some awareness there, it should, in theory keep someone from feeling too disappointed ?

surely some people find harder than others, and usually harder than me, to express themselves. Intimacy is somehting scary and a lot of people non only are not able to be in it, but are also unwilling to even try and being intimate.
My fantasy are never concentrating on the person, usually on the situation and this is my mistake possibly, as for the easy way out in this case it's surely what happened.
The disappointment comes whenyou thought that that person could at least try and then you see him/her not even try and dismiss you.

Let me be your Muse

Breathing is just a rhythm. Let me help you create the music. Let me be your Muse, the one lightening you. Living is not believing. Let me help you believe in something more. Let me be the one driving your pen, kindling your inner language, pulling it all out. Let me speak your language, let me teach you my language. Do trust me, do let me enter. Do talk to me, as if I was a song to be written, Please, please, let me light your sun, the sun you are suffocating inside your dark soul. Let me be your Muse, that is all I've ever needed, all I've ever wanted. To be your Muse. Play my music, act my script, please, listen to my words, recite them, recite them all, but not as if they were cold and heartless, do take them in you, make them yours. Let them inspire you. Let my words inflame you. Let me inspire and inflame you. Don't ask me to be one among the others, Do not oblige me to remain silent and to hide who I am. Do not ask normality of me, Dare an...

Because He is the One

They say that when you meet the One you feel it, deep inside of you, something tingles. You try to suffocate  it because there is no way you can be right, after all the times you have been wrong. And certainly he is not the One. He can't be, he will try to escape, from you, from commitment, from intimacy, from proximity. They say that there is a moment, in everyone's life, when you know that you need to fight. And fight harder for a love, or something really similar to love, that is slipping away, that is not blossoming as it should. What happens, when do you know when is the right time to start fighting? Perhaps when do you feel that he is the One? Or when is it that you let it go instead and accept that it is over? They say that the more you grow up the more you learn to know what you like and what you will never like. They say that at some point you are bound to find people who seems to be the right ones and are not, just because of the circumstances. So...

Millennium Bridge

Mid Afternoon, with the Millennium Bridge embraced by such a weird sun, too powerful to be London, too bright. One never gets to appreciate how big is the bridge until one sees the people walking down it. Stories passing by. So humble. And suddenly I remember that night when I called him because some romantic musician was playing 'Let it be' on the bridge. And those lights...oh those lights on the Millennium bridge that night. In my eyes. Trapped in my heart. And I remember how he was touched by this gesture. One of my usual silly romantic gestures. I sit on some stone stairs which lead directly to the water of the Thames. Directly in the river. Dirty waters but smelling of summer, today, kissed by the sun, moved by the implacable wind. I stare at a couple sitting a bit before me. She is fat, he is bold., they kiss and they seem in love. They share the food. They probably found that compromise which allows every man and woman in love to accept the beloved one without getting ne...
