Contrast. A Poem
|
Contrast. A Poem The contrast was sharp A man who wore His heart on his sleeve Versus one who was A self-professed stoic. I had to find out If the stoic possessed Any emotion. I asked him if he ever cried Over a woman. He said he did When his mother died. He added Women are everywhere You only have one mother. I could not fault his answer. In fact it sent chills Down my spine Because my sister had written A poem for my mother's Memorial service Titled You only have one mother. But still I shivered For the heart not given And expressed. Perhaps he did care Very deeply But he kept that to himself Bottled it up Who knows if it ever Will be something he shares. The man who wore His heart on his sleeve I could not help But feel his pain. It bonded us. As human beings. He shared his feelings. He shared his thoughts. Whereas the stoic Obviously did not. I wonder Who is happier In the long run? The guy who shares His emotions Or the one who hides them? Independently Romantic Sounds Better Than Lonely |

To be honest, I've been a bit of both. In my younger days, I can't remember crying at all. Then I lost a child, and it changed me. Emotions, that had just been bottled up came exploding out. And for a while, I might have been described as a heart on his sleeve kind of guy. Now, I'm probably a mix. I rarely cry, can't say i've cried over a woman in the last 20 years. But some movies can get me, when I'm not expecting it. haha. I don't hide my emotions though. They are always there, visible to any and all. I'm just rarely sad. I'm sure I'll cry when my mom dies. She is a great lady, has always been a great mom. " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

Thank you for your comment. You make some interesting points. I had not thought about still waters running deep. That really is a good point about sometimes nothing on the surface means nothing underneath. LoL Independently Romantic Sounds Better Than Lonely

I've certainly cried over women. Also under and above them too. Tears of joy and pain it was then. Yes, I was only human, that I knew.
