Just my thoughts.
Realization

How can I show you
that I say what I mean? How can I cut though your created foggy screen? "I don't spend time, with co-workers, friends and neighbors out of policy. Then how can I get you to spend a little time with me? Would you consider the words and claims of a complete stranger? Because spending time with someone you know could become a danger? Things from the past, fears of the futures, thoughts present, that things anyway, wouldn't last. How about simply setting about enjoying the company of a friend, intrigued because you're you, caught in the net that you cast. Maybe you'll trap someone when you become the life of the party. Your little cricket in the cage, until you step on him or set him free. Or dismiss me before as, you think you know my motives. While you remain hopeful for the future as you light votives. Start with simply dedicated friendship and let things advance. But how can I prove myself, never being given a chance? With me, there are deeper reasons to being interested with you. Something that should be explored, before having to say adieu. Having to be fiercely independent, as we work in this hectic world. Maybe I am the one with the love and understanding that can make for a relationship to herald. I stand as a light to guide you through your self avective fog. Not a prince, just a nice man who you made feel like a frog. Perhaps if you look for a lover, that's all they would ever amount to being in the end. But enjoying the company of a friend, no matter what happens, will always remain a friend. Enjoying that time together, that you can allow to spend. |
avective- From avection, such as the fog that developes on the lakes in the mornings. Horizonal and encompassing.
After two years of people that do like me, but for their own host of reasons have to stay away. What I mention in this poem is to me, sort of like The Wall. The Wall is that area of sheer hell before you punch through the sound barrier. Just watch the, "Right Stuff."
The people in my life for the last two years inspired this, but it has been a barrier. I don't know about you, but I want to spend time with people that I know and trust. Yet in modern dating, there seems a desire to go after perfect strangers, use them and loose them. When I like someone, I have aready interogated myself and pretty sure that I will like you. The block is that there is always some stupid reason not to go out. Instead of treating people as individuals, they are treated like a block. The result is you deny yourself of people that care. Things don't always work out, but I feel it is the qualities of the two people that determine the outcome. You don't have to add anger on top of that. If I made it through my divorce without turning into a scourge, then it is a good bet that I won't. The word dating is always used, but I was just thinking of a get together. If it works out, we'll try it again. I think this is important to me as I just don't ask to spend time with too many people. In the last two years, the total has been four.
I think for so many people things can be better and I don't think that I would be doing my job as a writer, not to bring this up. The direct inspiration for this was I sent a Christmas card to a lady, mentioning the desire for me bring over a diner and wathcing a movie. This was the response.
"First let me apologize for not getting to you sooner but I have been extremely busy at work and I don???t have a computer at home. Thank you for your card. I did want to say thank you for asking me to the movies or dinner but I do have to decline. I don???t really date (per say) anymore and I???ve done that before with a neighbor and it just isn???t a good idea???almost like dating a co-worker. Not good policy. I appreciate the thought though and do hope you had a wonderful Holiday."
I know there are reasons behind this response, but I can't help my feelings that she is cheating herself. I guess I play a glass flute. lol
