I rambled city streets
wandered the countryside
I've slept in places you wouldn't believe
sown my seed and plundered
what I was missing
was the strength of a woman
a woman's touch
healing power
and eyes bore of history's liberation
for my lost soul
I needed
the feel of her comfort
the solace of her charm
and her true concerns like a quiet snowfall
and the springtime of her smile
would that she could have lead me
out of my despair
and into the consciousness of my soul
when I would have strayed
too far beyond
when the street life beat me down
and put my life in confusion
grant me the resolve of a woman

I feel this as a call to Mother. Your needs were so deeply rooted in your  sad young life.

You moved around so much as you searched, you did not give a woman the time to really know you.Just my thoughts upon reading this. best to you Jerry. Jo

Your thought are, as they say, "right on," Jo. You always seem to capture the moment with my poems, god knows you have read enough of them. Thank you.

"woman needs man and man must have his mate, that no one can deny"...

"People, People who need people..."

"When a man loves a woman...


...oh my, make me stop!


Everything is in a song somewhere.

Good introspective writing JerryPat. A little levity is also good for the soul. Try to find some wherever and whenever you can and play your best bluff with the cards you're dealt.

Me? I'm a chicken...I fold.
