In vain

several observations could be made regarding this poem, Chi. I'm going w/this one: let's just enjoy the act w/o signing a contract...

I agree with you,JF, contracts we don't need. Hollow words either. I like your comment a lot.

Excellent Ms Chi, sometimes words are nothing but hot air. Enjoyed the read :)

Thank you, Vee! Glad you enjoyed it! Sometimes those words should go in one ear and out the other.

whatever they were meant
to mean I'm guessing you
saw through them...
nice writing, Chi

or...& it's just a thought...
was he just too short to
whisper sweet nothing's
in your ear..:)

I did  
but do  
I really wanted it?  
Illusions are so sweet.

Hahaha! Nice idea!

In some situations detachment has a freeing-up effect. Interesting observations in this piece, Iris. Enjoyed the read, my friend. :-)

Peace

You're so right, Carlene. I'm working on that. Thanks for your support!

they mean what you want them to mean,
take what you desire from them,
revel in them while they last...

Appreciate your kind words, J.. Perhaps I'm a little moody today :-).

Chi,Sometimes its not the words themselves but how they are spoken, and some words can seem like a promise whilst in reality they are but thin air....

Exactly, Liz. Pondering about that I just decided to relish the words and to protect my heart, if possible. Thank you, dear friend for your kind feedback!

Chi,

Sometimes a breath of fresh air comes swirrling in low and heated ; ) Enjoyed!
