Do you tell???

the next one

about the last one?

 

Do you explain why

you jump on some phrases,

and ignore others you shouldn't?

 

Can she understand?

Can you explain enough?

Too much?

 

Do you tell?

DO NOT TELL
no not this one... but it's
SO entwined in life this year.. and explains most..

but you are prolly right.
Debby C. Nov 17, 2007, 10:37pm EST
Oiy.....maybe yes, maybe no....thinking deep thoughts Lloyd....
hell who'd actually BELIEVE that usage???
told str8.
Matthew Emmett Townsend Nov 17, 2007, 10:38pm EST
some things yes, I asked my wife not to contemplate a girls name becouse of the girl I had fallen in love with many years before we met was the same...

I said I am not in love with her, but I do not want to think on her every time I hear or say my daughters name...

honest relationship pain is real, and it need not take away from ones loved one to acknowledge that some memories hurt...


just do not share that which will not help or edify... noone wants to have to measure up to another Ghost...
No problem there Emmett I'd rather take Strychnine..
Matthew Emmett Townsend Nov 17, 2007, 10:42pm EST
you'd rather take strychnine then do what?
Debby C. Nov 17, 2007, 10:42pm EST
Ya, ghost suck! So to speak...
Matthew Emmett Townsend Nov 17, 2007, 10:43pm EST
yup
Matthew Emmett Townsend Nov 17, 2007, 10:44pm EST
they are hard to compete against becouse we all tend to either make them more evil or more holy then they ever were in reality...
Lune Wolfsong Nov 17, 2007, 10:46pm EST
A well-put poetic question, Lloyd.

M. Emmett said it well.

Interesting, Lloyd. Very well written!

the last one is old news,the new one wouldn't like to wear the old one's shoes, even in your thoughts.......put the last one and memories you would like to forget in a paper bag and BURN it, right out of existence!!!!!!
TK Rosevear Nov 17, 2007, 11:08pm EST
Only when asked...

Just let those bridges burn brightly in the safe past, I'd say, letting their embers warm you up whenever you may need it. Nice little puzzler -- thanks for sharing it!

If it becomes a issue, yes truth is a better option It is the calmness in truth that the comunication begins.
Lisa Frost Nov 18, 2007, 1:47am EST
truth helps understanding, but there is no need to volunteer. If the explanation is needed, give it. I have come to understand many things about my love. It has helped me to see that this isn't me, and to understand things I would have taken as a rejection, had I not known.(though I still have some major moments.)

Zip, zero, zilch, nada. Everyone is entitled to their own sordid, kinky, perverse and lewd history.
Member Photog Nov 18, 2007, 4:16am EST
if they want to know,but not the whole enchilada!...LOL...

cheers,gayle
Norvona J. Nov 18, 2007, 9:42am EST
No, NO, uh......no! :-)

Very good poem, Lloyd.
Vicky P. Nov 18, 2007, 9:54am EST
Oh, do tell.
elizabeth e. Nov 18, 2007, 10:04am EST
Ron, you are just so funny. I, on the other hand, reveal all. How would my love really know me if they didn't know everything of my past and why I am the why I am?
elizabeth e. Nov 18, 2007, 10:05am EST
Nice question, Lloyd.
not chastising me this time Elizabeth?
Nana to Seven Cutiepies Nov 18, 2007, 1:44pm EST
Never. My memories are mine, good and bad, I share them with no one.
michael c. Nov 18, 2007, 2:59pm EST
Most times I find it better to forget the past.
yeah but... "those that do not learn and remember history are doomed to repeat it"..

if you are REALLY STUPID, maybe four or five times..
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 18, 2007, 5:31pm EST
Just enough to keep her wondering. I like how she raises an eyebrow like Spock use to on Star Trek. Only kidding dear..................
Zoe H. Nov 18, 2007, 10:02pm EST
rrrh, it depends.
denise e Nov 18, 2007, 10:28pm EST
no, but sometimes yes
Ghostly Ghoul Nov 18, 2007, 10:29pm EST
Tell but be gentle - always make sure she knows she is the one you want to be with. :-)
Carol Roach Nov 18, 2007, 11:06pm EST
interesting,

I like it

no I don't tell tales
Bundy P Nov 19, 2007, 6:27pm EST
You don't tell until it gets serious
Danielle P. Nov 19, 2007, 9:09pm EST
If specific issues arise and you feel she needs to know, I would tell, if not keep quiet.
Debby C. Jan 3, 2008, 8:42pm EST
being that I am in a totally different place in my mind right now I have a whole new view on this.....

It comes down to this Llyod....pretty much we know when you jump us for something we've said....we know it's from another time....or ignore things you shoudn't, we know and if we are the person we hope we are.......we understand!
