Like Tinka,I detest this editor,and have made my views known to Matt. I wish everyone would. It does not display my poems the way I paste them!


Poem Artwork


She contemplated his reason for
continuing their relationship
as well as pondering her own

She couldn't help but question
his motives,since he seemed to take
too lightly, her being 12 yrs older

He simply said he always liked older
women,but he was mid-fifties while
she was now a senior,and it troubled her

In appearance, age had been kind to her
but in subtle ways it showed, and it was
definitely felt 

She loved him unconditionally,and knew
it was forever, but he didn't use the love
word since he wasn't sure what it meant

However, he assured her he was completely
satisfied and happy with her in every way
which  in his opinion could be love

He was a procrastinator which added to her
unease,since he would often be late ,or worse not show up,and act indifferent about it

This made his motives suspect in her opinion
yet he made light of it saying that was just his way,and she should learn to accept it

She could not stop questioning his motives
since he was a very moody and often aloof
person who expected a lot of understanding
without explanation

She knew it wasn't money,she had little of it
and there was no reason  she could find for
not trusting him,it was just a nagging suspicion

She knew motives were a need or desire to act with a myriad of reasons that prompted them and wondered why she couldn't come up with at least one, so she let  it became lost in the wind

 

(still she knew there had to be a motive)

The first thing they look for after the murder. You've captured perfectly the eating suspicion of the insecure. Life would be much better without. Try to go with my gut instinct and not continue suspicious relationships.

Oh, oh, oh! I love this one! Is there a sequel?? :~)
I was completely drawn in by this and wanted to know why it was she didn't trust him completely. But then... I realized that maybe that is because I so often have the same questions with so many people in my life. This just perfectly captured those feelings! Well done!

Being out of the loop, can't comment just review.
It seems that a thorn has entered our collective hide, shouldn't we freeze that one until Hell also doeas?

Unsure, like the picture you walk toward a mist the unknown, sometimes you can fathom a sprinkle of it, and sometimes you get lost in the fog, but then we have instinct, and that's what to ues when all else fails, nice one Eileen! Hugs! Jasmin Horst

I have had the same problems with the editor; I just don't use it anymore ...
Maybe it was just a kernel of love trying to root. Maybe it was just a passing fancy in a midnight dream. Maybe she was afraid because he saw something in her that she didn't see in herself.

Nevertheless ... soul searching is always good (as is reflected admirably in this write), - we can avoid many pitfalls in so doing.

Eventually, it rears its head, doesn't it? A pity relationships cannot be perfect. I suppose they've never been, for that matter. This is one to puzzle over a while.

i question her "unconditional love"...when she seems to entertain "questioning his motives"...

Reviewed on April 2, 2008
I agree with George, when one begins to question motives they lose their confidence and individuality; not a good aspect for love.
Well told, Eileen.

Maybe love sometimes can't be explained. We just have to accept it and not question what it is. Great job, love, Bonnie
