The Object and Outcome of Dreaming Alone
She dreams of forget-me-nots,
fresh fruit
and making out on lush green
forest floors,
all against a backdrop
of sunflowers and of course
rainbows ..
While he dreams of the hunt,
of sushi, red meat
and of course warm rice wine ..
She is desperate
to take a gap year, to travel
and get married ..
While he wants nothing more
than a pay rise,
a quick divorce and to get laid ..

Ah the differences in males and females. So nicely expressed in short poetic lines. The difficulty of expressing these differences in a condensed form you have distilled ina few lines. Lovely!!
Sometimes it pays to keep ones ears and eyes open and a pen handy .. Cheers sorenbarrett 🙂
KP says to me each night 'Happy botox dreams'. lol.
I imagine that's where the origin of sleep tight stems from ..
You've done quite a good job differentiating between the male and female ego. And yet, with all the differences, they still manage to find amicable relationships, well most of the time. A very interesting and illuminating write my friend.
written on behalf of a friend I hasten to add .. 🙂
Cracked it, haven't you...What one is left to wonder is how a man and woman ever get it together for any length of time......
it does make you wonder doesn't it .. cheers D .. N
Ah, the selfish male rises again. It's a wonder anyone finds the time for marriage. Especially these days.
Yeah, this is poetry. It has only one objective. - Phil A.
I would like to say its a sign of the times, but it isn't, is it .. I reckon it must be a Y chromosome thing .. thanks for calling upon my little scribble Phil .. Neville
Interesting words Neville, men and women do have differing dreams but in life they can be composite partners.
Andy
absolutely ..
And you wonder how relationships last as long as they do, and they often do. The female and male of our species. I haven’t met a male yet who doesn’t like his home comforts while his eyes wander, even if his heart doesn’t. Let’s celebrate the positives while acknowkedging the differences. It’s all in the genes. I doubt if it will ever change:). So poetically penned Neville. I love forget me nots but I also have loved his pay rises too lol.
I hope you realise this was me just being a little bit tongue in cheeky .. 🙂
Of course …. as if 🙂 Have a lovely evening Neville.🙂
But when the pay raise comes in the form of her heart smiling for him it all evens out. 🌹
You bet'cha .. 🙂
A fine write, Neville. Different people have different dreams. Nicely done. The lines did remind me of a line in a Raymond Chandler novel. "I needed a drink, I needed a lot of life insurance, I needed a vacation, I needed a home in the country. What I had was a coat, a hat and a gun."
Don't ever be blue Tom I can see from here you are well read ..
