“I love you”…… when you smile i feel complete.
When our fingers interlock, we become one.
but tell me my love…..is it fair that you do not confess your warmth for me.
get off your high horse and say your truth.
What is it with men and their masculinity.
is it manly to be coy?
is it manly to care about the white noise around you, and not the noise beating from your heart?
to be a man, means to find the strength in your vulnerability.
to be a man, means to treat your woman with respect.
to be a man, means to be vocal about the feelings you feel inside.
so…..my love……be a ‘Man’ and let your soul flow through your words.
Time waits for no one……but those close to your heart will…..just don’t ask them to.
otherwise we might miss our chance.
so, lets start again, “i love you”…….
Poetry

I Iike it very much as well as feel its part of my life, in the sense that I was and did and spoke my truth only to find there are people who will take those truths and use them against you! I have found – in the years hence – many bright snippets of thread … so I know the Silver Lining is just waiting around the corner for me, when I finally get there and really need it!
Thank you, it was my intent to illustrate the frustration, both women and men feel in a committed relationship. Women, for the most part, are more vocal and independent in displaying their emotions, where as man, again for the most part, are not. The frustration is released from both party’s, as the man feels afraid about being honest on how he feels. He has this fear looming around his heart, that once he confesses his soul to another being, that person would eventually leave him and he would end up being alone at the end. He feels that confessing would allow him to lose his power in the relationship, but in reality, with the right person, it enforces both the power of the man and woman. The woman feels frustrated, as she feels that she displayed her soul to quick to her partner, she begins to doubt herself, her thoughts, her emotions, thinking if she’s good enough, when in reality her partner loves her to bits, but is to afraid to lay his emotions bear in front of her. The issue lays for both partners, a woman’s issue is, she begins to define her own self based on a relationship, without it she does not even know who she is. The issue with the Man is that, he does not put enough in the relationship, emotionally speaking, he is always waiting for the other ball to drop. But if the Man never takes the risk of being emotionally invested in another being, he’ll miss the chance of actually finding the right person.
