Say Quill
Write

women these women
are one in the same

fragmented illusions
that left reason
dead on the floor

emotional promotional
actions elusive

words pervade
and
disappear

all the same
reason writing
different names

logic truth
tongue and cheek

emotional protection
leaves an ill effect

never left longing...

for their affect


(women, gotta love 'em)

I don't really understand your poem.
But then again sometimes I have to be hit over the head to get it.
Yes, I'm the guy that just doesn't get it.
I like your poem even though I don't get it.

thats the point, I don't get them either, just fragments of different things that sometimes just dont make sense, but in the end, got to love 'em

Hmmm, the same goes for men! lol

But I still love them!

Thanks for sharing the 'guy perspective'! As they say, "Women are from Venus and man are from Mars"! ~ and vivre la difference! lol

Love 'n a hug,

A Woman

Mystery, dear Brad, is one of the main ingredients of women's potions of charms!

Enjoy the path that leads to the unraveling!

Good job!

Love,
Margherita

Maybe I was generalizing too much, I am actually referencing 3 different women in this one. But yeah a mystery to be sure and why I love 'em or at least drawn to them. Beyond all logic, men convey facts, women convey emotion for the most part. Now that I look at this, I could write an essay on this piece, just on the literalisms and metaphors used in just the 1st 3 lines :P needless to say I was referencing not only the cold medicene I was under the influence of at the moment, trying to clear my head and telling myself to write and that's all what came out
