Your words no longer
have their play on me.
What use to wrap around
and drown me in the safety of its grip,
its strength of feel overwhelming,
has become commonplace,
a collection of trite, so obvious
that the rareness once thought
has become the see-through glass
on my other side.

I look for the freshness of another,
original in feel, each touch garnering
a piece of a puzzle.
One day he shall have it all,
the final patch of me, to comfort him
a quilt of time, patience, caring
obtained through mutuality...
a loving respect, one thing
you have yet to conquer.

Each of our experiences contributes to Who we Are... I hope your friend learns and grows from your friendship as you have...

Actually, while this was intended, I believe, for a love affair, it also speaks well of any relationship of man to man, woman to woman, when friendships go awry...

I have a friend who needs to look at this.

I think I shall send it to her...

Thank you...

thank you all...this was not meant for a love affair but was intended just to express a feeling that arises when one believes in a once stated unconditional friendship but realizes that it was one sided after all...
whether online or in real.

I appreciate your responses

Alice darling girl this is utterly utterly wonderful. I love I love it utterly utterly. That questing thought, that uncovering of deceit when respect is lost through not understanding someone’s motives. This is exquisitely written darling heart, absolutely exquisite.

I had a relationship like this once, where I believed everything I was told and then discovered that I’d been fed on misdirection and falsehood, it leaves a very strange taste in your soul. And what is worse makes you doubt not just others but yourself. Luckily I found faith and hope again but many don’t. truly this is excellent writing

You know I love this don’t you? Of course you do. Absolutely perfect writing


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

(big huggsssssss) Oh Alice, this is wonderfully said, sweet friend, I think many experiences and relationships are all successfully determined on this element of trust and contribution and the heart to respect mutually! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Alice, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

The first stanza and the last line of the second stanza were my favorite parts.

Enjoyed.
