To know him Could be to love him, If one could get past Attitudes, melded with Archaic notions Yesterday would have been His milieu, he still lives in comfort there With eight-track and 21” Color Sony He never quite lets go Of his truths he keeps From her Expounds, he does For isn’t he the expert in all? On how things should be, Her attention no longer as rapt As once was For she is his only audience His mental tape always On instant rewind. This pedestal she keeps falling off of, The one he erected, so very high To keep the others away Keeping her from her roots, Preventing her from reach Of dreams. She now runs to the column of ivory Sometimes to hide For he made it so high Even he cannot touch her Any more. She recalls, she only wanted To ease his pain, Let him believe in some one true To enhance the world around him, some way Some how To give reason that he might smile toward life Toward love, And now admits To the adage of “sow’s ears and silk purses”. He will never know The full damage he did Even though from his distance He feels the cracks And sees the spill of tear He will always deny His only recourse being She could not be his truth. For he crowned her Mrs. |

"Expounds, he does For isn’t he the expert in all? On how things should be, Her attention no longer as rapt As once was For she is his only audience" "Keeping her from her roots, Preventing her from reach Of dreams." painful, deep, emotional.....honest..... my heart reaches out to yours  |

Deca, you have so accurately described a man whose only avenue is control...For change frightens and scares him away... Just as he has run you away.. |

 (big hugggsssssss) I guess many have never gotten to know exactly the original context of the pedestal, and should never be substituted in the virtues we hold dear! (sad sigh) Otherwise one could never see what's right below them and lose their hindsight! (sigh) This is so powerfully said, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Decaflame, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

He will never know The full damage he did Even though from his distance He feels the cracks And sees the spill of tear He will always deny His only recourse being She could not be his truth. For he crowned her Mrs. Deca, The man who crowned me the same did not care to know the depth and truth of my pain...made it easier to deny it all. Apathetic silence was his weapon of choice... A most deadly weapon...when the words stop, all hope stops. With each of your words, I felt your pain and could so relate to your feelings. I will be thinking of you, Patricia |
