Moons and junes and ferris wheels

Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As ev'ry fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughin' when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's loves illusions I recall
I really dont know love at all. --Joni Mitchell

And me ... I'm a few years older every time I sit here heartbroken.

 

waht a poem!

 

how would you relate this to your sexuality or being gay in general, why have you choosen to put that here?

I was reading a lot of posts in this forum. The lyrics to this wonderful song came to mind, and I wanted to share. There are lots of posts by very young people struggling with their first feelings of love. I've been through a lot, wish I had some advice, but as Joni says, I really don't know love at all. My third four-year relationship has recently ended. I wish I had answers, but really only have questions I can't even put into words. And I do think being gay does make a lot of it more complicated and confusing.

Peace,

What a great tune!

If only I could find the version of it that I've been looking for.

 

That's one of my favorite songs. Thanks for reminding me Now it's in my head

 

Yeah? Which ... who? when?

I guess I'm largely partial to Judi Collins' first version.

Peace,
