Where are the words of women
Where are the feelings that fountain
from them, from the well
of youth and beauty

the deepest emotional beings on Earth
fill the vacant pages I stare

wondering wondering
where where
they hide

shame guilt
disinterest
to the impressive
enduring man

patient and kind
forlorn but forgiving
a beauty in his own right
rich in spirit, mind and heart

to start to start
from ashes from ruin
apart, a part
of true measure to embark

on the journey ahead

I like this and it certainly touches on something I find ironic.  Good men look for good women - good women look for good men - and, too often, they overlook each other.

Good point Alison! Lord knows I've been overlooked too many times. :P Oh well, I guess they just weren't good "enough" for me ;-) Good luck to you, m' dear

thanks for sharing a sensitive poem, soul mates are so rare, perhaps seeking is the wrong way and being natural can unveil good persons. Thanks for the poem.

best wishes

martiniat8 - this writing says a lot about good ones finding good ones. Yes, perhaps they overlook each other...

Oh, the journey of love ... we need to trust Universe and he/she will manifest.

Your ponderings are a first step to the realization of your dreams.

Well done!

Love,
Margherita
