Predominantly speaking

I’m an understanding man

But sometimes I’m ridged

When I expect from others

Things they have promised

I abhor if pledges are broken

Before any real effort is made

To suggest some alternative

That I’d be willing to accept

In place of what isn’t delivered

But if nothing was ever offered

It’s disrespectful and cowardice

And then I’ll always remember

Your words are… meaningless

Published by Poet of the Light

I'm the aberrational poet your English teacher warned you not to read or follow into the literary abyss. If you steal my poetry...I will find you in between fogyish metaphoric lines. I'll be armed with my quill and papyrus where at will I can wield my power as a writer to erase you from my realm. I will smudge you with inky darkness and do unprintable things like a ghost in imaginary darkness. In full disclosure, I am absurdly mad and take no responsibility for my actions if crossed poetically. But, otherwise, I’m a simple free spirited poetic writer wordsmithing outside the grammatical lines and rules. An easy going romantic rebel at heart. I write meaningful (to me) poetry from my heart and share it here. I tend to approach everyone as a friend until they demonstrate something different. I enjoy having creative exchanges with others, like-minded artists, or writers. Thank you for reading, commenting and your visit. I appreciate all the feedback (good or bad) you care to offer. Feel free to reach out by email for private exchanges if you wish. View all posts by Poet of the Light

The older we get it seems our trust level is not as it was when we were younger. Sometimes peoples true colors come out later than sooner. Trust is the hardest thing to get back once it’s broken. Stay Strong Dear One.

I always try to stay true to my word and that’s why it’s so disappointing when others don’t do the same. When someone breaks my trust I tend to always avoid them and no longer trust them. I don’t really do second chances.

  I agree on the disappointing aspect, totally. Esopecially if I’ve made plans the depended on someone elses promise/word. I am forgiving with people who are genuine and authetic and earnestly make an effort to correct any misunderstandings or mistakes.
  
  Life would be much darker to fear or hate everyone that has already harmed me once.
  After all, I’m very aware, I am not perfect either. Trust but verify comes to mind. 😉
