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]

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks, Linda. Lydi**

[Linda alexander]

You welcome, take care, happy tuesday

[Frieda P]

Monday, Monday, can't trust that day, especially if it's manic...cool little ditty to start off the week even if it's tepid Tuesday Lydikey. :)

[Lydia Shutter]

never Tepid....always terrific, Frieda! :) Thanks for visiting. Lydi**

[Frieda P]

Nobody ever writes poetry about Tuesdays! ;) My pleasure always joisey...

[Lydia Shutter]

Come to think of it, you are right.....maybe I should one of these Tuesdays! :)

[Frieda P]

Looking forward to it, I'd love to see you make it terrific ;)

I have this fear of drowning in chronic indifference sometimes...and given what's been going on around here lately, I wonder if the keepers of the lies have discovered skeleton keys...I took a lot from this short piece, and felt a lot in the process...nicely done Lydi :)

[Lydia Shutter]

Hey Steve! There are times in our lives we fool ourselves into being indifferent....as a defense mechanism. Still, we do know the truth and it does come out. Yes, considering what has happened here lately, we all know that the truth eventually seeps through the lie. It's a good thing...at least I think so. Thanks for your review. Lydi**

[kublakhan27]

Yes, it is a good thing to be sure...always a pleasure my friend :)

[Cryingkate]

I missed whatever;s been happening.... part of me wants to know and part doesn't.. Guess I feel indifferent :-)

[Lydia Shutter]

:) I do understand, kate.

[Cryingkate]

:-).............. Have I hugged you today? (((((HUGS))))

[Lydia Shutter]

You are a sweetie. back at you!

[Cryingkate]

Encompassed in it. thank you:-)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

the pic looks like Rachel Nichols...is it?

[Lydia Shutter]

I really don't know....to be honest, not sure who Rachel Nichols is. I guess you could go to etsy.com to the tonymax shop and ask him! :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i could lie to myself that i don't miss you...but not on Manic Mondays...that's when the lies can't hide from the truth peeking through.

you do quite a job of making Mondays poetic.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you very much, Jacob.

[Sami Khalil]

I miss your poetry on manic Mondays...I think realization on things make it longer and stronger. Excellent...:)................

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much, Sami. Lydi**

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome muchly...:)............................

I usually miss the weekends the most on Mondays, but I know what you mean. The distraction of the weekend gone and now, once again those thoughts and those memories find us longing. Beautiful Lydi and even though a bit sad, a nice pick me up of this long Monday.

[Lydia Shutter]

I am positive Mondays have 26 hours, not 24! :) Thanks for the review, Will. Have a great evening. Lydi**

[Lyn Anderson]

For me this is about lying to oneself about one's feelings and missing that person.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, KL...the first review is always important! :) Lydi**
