treading through waters

of chronic indifference

truth peeks through

a tiny keyhole of lies

held self evident

making me realize

i miss your kisses

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Not sure I am reading this crisp, flowing verse right Lydi but it made me think of the way in which we try to distance ourselves from the hurt of broken love by being detached and indifferent when in reality we still have deep feelings which come to the surface from time to time.

[Lydia Shutter]

You were reading it perfectly, John. Thanks for the review. Lydi**

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Then I relate in aces!

Bittersweet...some days are like that...but how they hang heavy, lovely to read you Lydi xo

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks, Poppy. Have a good day. Lydi**

[Rita L. Sev]

Oh, those crazy days when we know that all we need is an embrace by that one person - who is no longer there. Bitter reality, sweet memory...

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Rita. Lydi**

[Tom]

Yes indeed, it's especially during busy times that a comforting, reassuring hand and a tender kiss help to alleviate all that worry and stress !

A beautifully penned, soulful soliloquy Lydia !

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Tom. Hope you enjoy the weekend. Lydi**

exquisite phrasing as usual ma'am.. I admit the title had me singing a certain song in my head.. "wish it were a sunday, cuz that's my fun day."... ha.. can't help it... wahooo! so glad it is Friday, but hey.. those Mondays are needed to make us appreciate the fun days.. I like the short, condensed lines that give us a little sweet with the harsh reality... well balanced... I enjoyed :)

[Lydia Shutter]

Yup, the Bangles sang it so well. Thank you so much, April. Have a great weekend. Lydi**

[AprilRN1210]

it was my pleasure.. and yes they did... likewise girl:)

I believe a make up day would be in order. How about 'two for Tuesdays'? This was great fun to read and certainly sums up Monday morning in a nutshell :-)

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much. Lydi**

Interference is the curse of our manic society.
It is everything to be seen and appreciated...
I get this!
Great write Lydi.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you, David. Lydi**

[David Scott]

I meant to say indifference... auto spell got me again. :)

[Lydia Shutter]

I kinda sorta thought that......spell check is a monster! :)

[David Scott]

Ha... Yes. You are up early! or very late...

[Lydia Shutter]

I have been up since 5:30....my norm.

[David Scott]

I thought you were a West coast gal... :)
Anyhow, it was nice to read you poetry yesterday. I hope you have a great day!

[Lydia Shutter]

Nope, in South Florida for 45 years now. From Joisey originally. You have a good day too, David.

Your recollections drift back over sweet times... from bitter days now... holding onto what was such joy... such music... and now it's only the sorrow in the missing flow...

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks for stopping by, Craig. Lydi**
