In the Sunday supplement I believe I read a great truth I read a Doctor’s column of advice I'll paraphrase his wisdom As my memory is not precise He basically said loving Will be great without pot If there’s a great love And unlikely if there’s not He spoke too of those Who are ‘fetish’ bound Tied to tying, tied to trying New tricks – bored easily. New things to try Menages in garages That’s not the best love In his eyes I had a marriage And some freedom in between Retrospect frees my ego I don’t think much I haven’t seen My talent not that great or varied But my subjective view with the love felt Must be compared, contrasted Mutually expressed with the rapport built Then the mundane Becomes celestial Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes. ~ Chinese Proverb ~ |

Wilfred, there's nothing mundane about your writing it's always celestial, and as for loving... ahhh there's a wonder! write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Seymour- there is liberal poetic liscense - but I don't think the good Dr. would be offended - Thank you Karilea- We males - (perhaps some of the gentler sex as well) tend to think somehow we've done something extra at times - when objectively - we should know better - I like and believe the Dr's perspective. Kethry - blushing here - thank you Martie- Thank you  Paula - I firmly believe it - thank you |
