A Man\'s Gaze
Doggerel Dave said:
You give no indication in your Public Profile of an identity at all.
I must therefore make the assumption that I am addressing a young woman who I as a mature (and then some) heterosexual male would find attractive. And I would gaze, not for too long if we were passing in the street. But gaze I would as men throughout the ages have gazed. Go to any art gallery where, if it contains paintings of any antiquity, you will find examples of rich men’s erotica, now called art. It is deep in my being and at this late stage there is nothing, I can do, even if I wanted to change.
I half wondered if this was about rape, which is a different matter entirely.

I hope you can find peace in yourself and have love that you deserve. Accepting love is just as hard as loving.

Fault Line

A sad poem of not accepting oneself and feeling that others notice it or proj3cting ones own insecurities onto otheres and then withdrawing out of fear. Well written. We all are different and until we can accept our differences we can not expect others to do so as well.

There\'s more here than just the gaze, isn\'t there?
Just what is gothic about all that?

This sounds like a poem of setting limits that are difficult to set. A great read

Damn… masterpiece of a poem… I understand the harmful effects of objectification… I still don’t know how to balance lust and love though. This poem definitely helps me understand and reflect.

Almost Believing
Friendship said:
Nicely said. Your poem \"Almost Believing\" explores the complex interplay between love, self-doubt, and the fear of inadequacy. It captures the struggle to embrace happiness while grappling with feelings of unworthiness and the haunting presence of past experiences.

Self-Loathing

A poem of self deprecation where what is seen as bad is amplified and expanded into a cancer that devours that entire being. Dark and well painted

That is the epitome of being ignored when the mirror won\'t even acknowledge you. A poem of being ostracized. Well done

Sudden Shifts
Paul Bell said:
It seems the human way, we get knocked down, we get back up.
Sure, there\'s a song there.
Though when I watch my football team, we never get back up.

Hollow Inside
Paul Bell said:
Death is a mere crack in the ceiling, waiting to be fixed, but not really waiting.
I died and no one noticed.
A fitting epitaph.
Great write.

Can\'t Delete Myself
Paul Bell said:
I think at some point we would all like to be deleted, or maybe the words deleted before we send them.
No doubt in the future the technology will be there.

Can\'t Delete Myself
sorenbarrett said:
A most interesting metaphor cast in modern technology it emphasizes that as long as one thinks the self can not be deleted or erased. An operating system can be uninstalled but if it can not be deleted one has to ask how much of it is hardware not software. A good read

Sometimes you have to say thank-you to people who come into your life and change it.
It gives you power to be like them and the confidence to get out and find another.
