M Very Own Greek Philosophy 

Teddy.15


Notice of absence from Teddy.15
I'm currently on a beautiful island with the ghost of Napoleon see you all soon, when I return from my annual holidays. So take care and I'll see you all soon. 💜
 

There was a time in my life

that I smashed every single dinner plate

in my loveless kitchen

for the bad love I was receiving

the palpitations of grief

never knowing what I ever did 

to deserve such love?

I broke every last plate

and it felt really good 

 

and now?

 

I'd give anything in the world 

to glue those beautiful priceless plates back together

serving up a warm home cooked meal 

For the one I love, and who loves me back

 

see the price for bad love

didn't come cheap

 

classic handmade plates 

don't come cheap

and neither does bad love 

It's the most expensive lesson

I've ever had to learn

just to understand my own self-value

and instead of thinking about

what a waste of time and money

 

I have instead come to learn

that it's the greatest investment 

I could have ever made

because, now I know love’s true value

 

everyone deserves real love

that's simply, unlimited, endless

and without bounds.

    All things in life have two sides and it is our choice which side we wish to focus on. A lovely write that makes its point well.

    • Teddy.15

      I've seen them both, thank you dearest sorrenbarret 🌹

      A fine write, Teddy. You are, absolutely, correct. Jim got a cat I got a dog. Humans are as tricky as a monkey in a mile of grapevine.

      • Teddy.15

        Aren't we just, thank you dearest Jerry. 🌹

        This poem immediately gave me the image of Kintsugi. A wonderful metaphor for relationships...and yes, even the bad ones can be good if it leads us to realize our own self-worth and empowers us to find true love. Very wise, my friend. A wonderful poem that spoke to me in my current season of life. Brava, Teddy. 🌹👏

          I hope that where you are now is on the fixing plates side dearest Tristan.
          🌹 Thank you 🌹

            Indeed, I am. Though, some days that project is harder than others, it is the project I am undertaking. Here's to emotional Kintsugi! 🍻 You are most welcome, my friend!

            Powerful and poignant, sweet Teddy. Excellent work.

            • Teddy.15

              Thank you dear Thomas. 🌹

              So very true Teddy, love cures so many problems, it is such a pity that love does not rule our world.
