Reviewed on August 24, 2006

Superb Fee!!
So much said in the silences, the pauses, the gaps. Oh Honesty, so precious, ... so wonderful to be liberated by the truth; painful as it is!!
Your poems speak to the heart Felix. Revealing humanity: 'Just a simple broken man once more'.
Tender message xox
Love, Suzie :-D

though honesty can appear to be painful, at least its motives are real and its nature hopeful ...

wise pen, Felix ...

The worst thing one can hear is Hesitation..it's like the unspoken "ah what did you say, you who are invading my brain space right now" ach it's horrible and know it quite well.
Still the upside to this is, indifference is safer than war :) and sometimes indifference can care, more than it cares to admit.
You know, don't care was made to care.....
Enticing Fee, hey don't turn up on my door down and out will yah, I might be forced to take you in and look out for yah lolol.

Felix,
Your questions themselves are painful, hard to ask, but
piercing questions that must be answered. You are
wise to ask them, and if you seek wisdom and tread
carefully, the answers will come. Even if unspoken,
you will know. Many people rush into relationships so
carelessly! They need to take time to learn to know
each other first. Love = committment.
Excellent poem!
Connie

Fee,

You'd be "In like Flint" with this woman. You may be stripped bare but unto your heart your purity is priceless.

Blimey... we must be in each other's heads tonight with all these ??????????????????????????????????????????s :)) But this has all that quiver in the liver of wanting to have things plain-spoken when perhaps plain-speakin ain't yet even formulated in the brain - know what I mean?? Perhaps both parties aren't quite THERE yet... otherwise things might become self-evident. What am I like?? I ain't no Kounsellor Kate and here's me commiting the cardinal sin of personalisin your poetry. Just shows how much from the heart you appear to write, Pops, and how you draw us into the build of emotions EVERY time. Applause, applause, not just for the honesty sought and expressed, but for captivating our attention and emotion, which is what great poetry is all about. VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... outta here!! LOL K xx :))

I believe most of us would hope that we would be quick to answer... but the hesitation to me is more honest. Nice work here.

Though honesty spoke sometimes cruel
Yet your honesty shows at least you care

I agree with you although at times that honesty may be hard to swallow.
