Someplace He's Never Found

Smiles:) Barbara This was truly great write. I enjoyed this immensely. The opposite of this in a man can also be damaging to a marriage when pride gets in the way. Just a observation I experience. unimportant. Your title sums it for me some men or women for that matter never find that place where they connect in understanding what the other really tries to express, need or is going through. But still we were meant to be together, so we try again. It was wonderful, but I have one tiny suggestion; she is not there nomore, may sounds better with anymore. All in all it was well written and I really felt his distress. It made me want to give him a hug just knowing his heart was with her, but she couldn't know it. Sad outcome.

Smiles:) Barbara Thanks for considering my suggestions. I was raised that way and in this day and time it is a lonely world and hard one to survive. Being fragile with a strong mind tend to keep me in hot water.

Walks away? Other than that this is a beautiful write, of the proud man, and his desire for love coexisting with his need to protect his heart. Superb write, Mark

I know the feeling. I have wrecked many a relationship precisely because of this. It is really painful when communication breaks down and one has to suffer all alone. Art in general and poetry in particular makes people realise that there really arn't many differences among them. No matter what you feel and how alone you are in that feeling, there is always someone somewhere who feels the same way. Cheers ... Leonard

You hit the nail on the head and your description of the differences was right on, nicely done!

piece. Historically boys (who later became men) were taught---by both home and other environments---to keep their emotional straitjackets on 24/7. As well way too many experience this still in present times. I like your comment re background/prompter for this piece. Added a bit of flesh, a bit of provenance. Contributed to its reality. Thanx, Chuck

And I have found a woman who just said "get some f**king help counselling. anger management or get the hell out of here because I cant help you on my own anymore!!!! pack your bags or pick up the phone Right Now!!!" I was tired of running I ran from four relationships kicked out of two lived for six years total on my own and its a drag sobbing and falling in your own puke or remembering putting a fist through a wall for what occasion Cause I didnt get my point across?? Mom taught us not to be beaters but lovers but we got problems and I did my time one summer and still am talking it was easier to lift the phone then pack the bag and I love this woman just something sensitive and not too judgemental I still got lots of problems but Im here working struggling to make this work because there is nothing more soul wrenching then waking up alone when your heart is breaking and you've lost hope Yah and all my freind got the crap beat out of them Strong stuff and I read books and poetry

of a child, left out in the cold, even if his choice...or not, bestowes upon him certain things, only one on the streets can learn and they have quite a pratical worth if he overcomes, his trials. He will truly become a well chisled soul and the simple childhood home just kinda goes away, never really missed, never really known...but the scales remain balanced with the steadfastness and his will to carry on. Your fellow traveler on that lonely road, Mark

U unegoistically reveals the nature of us, men. we tends to hide our feelings, our cries, our tears for the sake of our pride, ego and integrity. Though i am a teen and still unmarried, but i do agree that diz hideous nature of men do wreck the marriage. last of all, it is a great poem

"She leaves him with his loneliness and doesn’t hear his cries As he screams out his frustration to the dark and endless skies." Great write, Rett!

I upgraded this to five stars. It is like reading it for the first time. Understanding a man. I enjoyed reading this again. ~~~~~~~~~ Be whoever you are At all times, and Remember that Because of this, people will Always Respect, and Admire you ©2008Leonard Respectfully Yours, Barbara
