I confess of failings Falling for flattery Taken to heart… With hope I might Dare believe A dream Realized… That my Inner conversations Were meant for More than just me… I wasn’t alone Muttering Nonsense To the dark… Calling out For kindred Of my own Who understood My words... Written in Mother tongue LGR©11/14/10 |

I think we all would like to think someone hears and understands, Lori. ~~ All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand ~~ |

Sad isn't it that flattery is really insincere cause it sounds so nice at the time. Great confession kid! More to all of us than we'd like to admit sometimes. I enjoyed this very much. Eric in a relationship the me becomes we. |

As you so beautifully and succinctly say, Lori, the reason why we sometimes fall for flattery, is that it is the poor cousin of admiration and understanding, something that we all seek, whether we admit it or not – and it is very healthy to seek it, for “no man is an island” and harmony in the world can only be achieved if we actively and positively seek deep this communication and interaction with each other. The lack thereof, in my humble opinion, is the greatest core reason for fall-outs especially in marriages. The first step to achieving this, is, as you have done, to admit that you want it. So bravo for having the courage and perspicacity to do so, and bravo for having the art and skill to create a(nother) beautiful poem, Lori. I especially love the last two stanzas. Owl |
