well, as a construction man, i tend to admire bridges,
made of steel
and sometimes as with your words.

thanks Pretty,

my dame used to complain, 'i don't listen'
didn't quite understand it then.
your lines brought it all back.

i suppose your man got the chance to read your lines...?
must have tumbled.



all i see is
two very fine, gentle souls.

fantastic!!
really fantastic writing the pain out in a poem..

all i can say is from a man's perspective,
somewhere in the lines i sense he still trusts you ..



when men trust their woman, they expect the partner to speak out if something is troubling them.
(now they are thinking, that's strange.., she looks upset..)

then they expect their partner to repeat it a second time
(now they are thinking, it's not a joke, she is really upset)

then they expect their partner to ask what do you think?
(now they are thinking, oh yeah, this is serious. i got to do something)

most men 'marry' because they 'trust' a woman;
because they 'trust' their woman to love them and cook for them, etc.
to them 'love' is a funny word; unless its by parents hugging their child. Proof?
most man are comfortable responding with 'i love you too'
unless it's a letter.

'crush', 'trust' are nouns a man understands.
Love? yeah, it's there in the Bible.



true,
that's the way guys generally are; with all people,
even themselves,
'hey man, wha's up', [thump]

but try laughing your pain in front of him
and he will 'prick up' his ears..
'hey girl, that hurt so bad?'

it's all in the tone,
they become stone deaf when they sense a complaint, a nag in them
(i think)

--xx--
although i have attempted to give the other side
i think it's truly a poem every guy should read

also, i have heard about some wise women
who say there are no good guys in marriage
all 'work in progress'.
thank you.

i took the liberty of commenting not only because it talks of women when they get 'phosphorescent' sometimes; and men are obtuse to it

but also because fellow members expressed their 'wow'
- well worth taking your message one step further though may risk my repute

it's for SitkaRains and Jacksonne

and in response to Dolphin's comments.
really, she would be mad to throw out her guy.
just a different drift.

So this is your first write. I hope to read more. I think you have found your hidden talent. If nothing less I find it is a wonderful mode of expression and self therapy for ones self and all that read and relate. Well penned.

wow! beautiful one.
just wish we could change all these and make it better

that was interesting ... nice write ...
and what is not to get... so many play those games...
and then want respect ...

That sound scary ... Do I dare ask where the cobra comes into play???

LOL ! Stop rubbing it in.

I am making strawberry margaritas right now and some barbecue nachos.

I am thinking about how good that mexican food I just devoured was !

I am thinking I should apologize for the older and "mature" guys on here.....and I do....sorry about that ...
