Array ( [sid] => 184069 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => lock and key [time] => 2017-04-08 03:29:37 [hometext] => playing with matches [bodytext] => If he needed comfort, she was attracted;
The greater his problems, the more she reacted.
Knowing his neediness soon would beguile;
Feminine nurturing, as for a child.

Here was a chance she couldn’t resist;
To turn back the clock and finally fix;
Rejections of childhood that so badly marred her.
Lock and key mating; buried in ardor.

She is his safety; He is her goal;
Someone to blame while hes out of control!
She needs to fix him; make right his mistakes;
The more that she does, the less effort he makes.

Marriage will break this fragile affection;
Neither can trust for their own self protection!
He will go on to find a new mother;
She will seek out a needier other.
-------------------------------------------------
Continue to do what we do and regret;
That over and over, we get what we get.
In hormones we trust, except with a stranger;
(The more were compelled; the greater the danger!)

You may see cowards of those who escape;
(Leaving the lure with their mouths wide agape);
My heros are those who can flush with affection;
And promptly make haste in the other direction!

this is so powerfully true!
I felt this as a young man,
and I feel it now.

man oh man, I never did
feel, boy you could be something...

something is what we are,
no matter what we do or what
we pretend

I guess that/'/s why I still love
Tennessee Williams so much!

Great poem SW!

Peace!

that last line hmm,
that is the reaction that attraction seems to shatter
we all know better
but that direction is unknown at that time..

Not anymore! 😉

You are the wizard of words. So seemlessly without effort you make it look easy.

Thank you for an enjoyable read.
