I thought of mentioning it in the post, but decided otherwise. Remember you telling me to date a poet because that would be the best for me? Some thought on that lead to this.
So sincerity is the issue? I can see how that could happen but then, that failing is not limited to poets is it. Perhaps the issue is simply that the expectations are greater from poets?
I think an answer could be that you, being a poet, has an affinity to other poets and because of this common art form, extend a level of trust that is unfounded. We must acknowledge that poets are simply people who express themselves in more creative and sensitive ways that most non-poets. Primarily however, they are people with all the failings that being a person entails. Good answer????
It’s hard to stand beside your words when you write as often as I do
You cast them into the web and then you forget what you wrote
But if you ask me can I carry the weight of my words
YES
broken knees and back
It’s the all of who I am

Ok Kritika……… I have to ask because it is a little ambiguous. Is it heard to keep loving a poet, or is it hard to keep a poet?

Thx Kritika. Would you care to postulate as to why it is hard to keep loving a poet?

My memory is far from perfect but …………….. did I really tell you to date a poet? Telling anybody to do anything is quite unlike the me that I know! 🙂

I am sorry for phrasing it in that sense. You suggested me, and obviously not told me to.

I don’t even recall suggesting you date anybody in particular, but your memory is much younger than mine!

People later cannot hold the weight of their words. That is when it becomes hard.

That is a quality, Sheldon. And mind may forget after writing, but they travel with you everyone, unnoticed and unheard sometimes. Keep smiling.
