Crazy

A lot of us writers will agree that author intent is unknowable, people project ourselves onto everything, so when you publish your poem, it becomes something unique to each reader. Giving insight into your intent is good, but it's also good to accept that people are going to read anything and everything into it.

This is really sweet Kristina. 💖

Thanks Daniel, I really appreciate your insight! I think in most circumstances I would have just let it fly and let the reader interpret as they will, but when I thought about it later and realized some would interpret it that way it bothered me enough that I wanted to correct my error. If that only matters for me then so be it.

And thanks for your comment on this one also. 💖

A one night stand or 30 years. There’s no difference if your crazy about someone ❤️

That is another way to look at it. :) Thanks buddydog for the comment. ❤️

I completely understand where you’re coming from. It’s comes down to how you represent yourself and your inner values. I would have had to correct it to. But I’ve had experiences where my poems have been interpreted way different than I had intended but let it go. But I’m this instance, it’s deeper than that. Nice write!

Thanks Julia, I think it is important to allow people to interpret what is meaningful to them but also to be true to yourself. And some things can also be mis-interpreted regarding what you want. Casual one-time hookups are extremely easy but I think each time you give your body over in that way you lose something, something that will steal from those you truly connect with in the present or the future. I make no claims of being an angel but this is how I feel and my preference is to know someone. I have also had my share of being pressured or expected to have sex when first meeting someone and it can be a very uncomfortable situation or worse. After a while it really gets to you and it makes you question if that is all you are worth. I am sure you understand all to well.

I hold the same values for myself! I understand completely. I feel intimacy is just that, intimate. Which requires you know someone on a somewhat deeper level and a strong emotional bond should exist prior to intimate physical contact. So trust me, I would have made myself clear too and stayed true to my character. These values are dying with each generation

Keep it the way it is. Interpretations and perceptions depends on one's intentions. Poetry is about your views and so is writing.

Keep going! Kudos!

Thanks Mssukser, I already changed the one I posted on June 1 which is the one I am referring to because I did not feel it was accurate for what I wanted to say. But the change made it much better in my opinion. Thanks for the encouragement. :)

Mind sharing the original one in the messages? Would like to read it.

I edited it on the site so I do not have an original but the changes were minor but meaningful, mostly just the addition of the last line really.

Wonderful loving poem. It's the best kind of feeling to be in love.

If I could spread a little joy to the Devil's Child then at least I accomplished something. It is the best feeling but not without it's complications.

The biggest struggle in life, as far as I'm concerned, is the perpetual tug of war between our basic animal instincts and our alien inelegance. Nature wants us at it as often as possible yet our intellect tries to help us suppress those urges and be more civilised with each other. Sometimes we want to be in control, other times we just wanna give in and go at it like animals. A demon on one shoulder, a lawyer on the other.

Life. We work hard to experience it so the spirits that created us don't have to.

We do have many internal struggles. :) A lawyer on one, lol - it does seem that way sometimes. Nature vs Nurture- what a war it is...

Crazy in love, seems like❣❣

Are you calling me crazy? Okay you're right. :) ❣

Doh!! I left out the keywords. I edited my comment. If you're the least bit crazy then I am certifiably so.

lol, I liked the original comment. I guess I am comfortable being called crazy - it happens a lot. :p

Well then, you're nuts 😘

Yes, writing love letters to the DUP site itself is probably crazy.  But, I think you are the good kind of crazy!  : )  
 
You should also fix your profile, you are a poet. And I think you know it!  : )  
 
PS. I got your message, the tent has some holes in it at the moment so the parchment is wet.

lol, I have done far worse... and thanks ;)

I still don't think so, so there! Although I have never updated it so maybe it is time for a change.

Good, and yet still with the excuses. Although I must say, my mind did all kinds of .... stuff with that.

The piece is well written, honest and forceful !  You removed any possible doubt about who you are, and that's so admirable!  I enjoyed the piece, but I enjoyed the message and intent! YES!

Well I am definitely crazy. ;) Honest and forceful, love that description and removing any doubt. It's quite interesting going back and reading these older ones and the messages as well. It is easy to misinterpret things so sometimes maybe you need to clarify.  I am so happy you found it admirable and enjoyed the piece too. ;) Thanks so much for coming by and sharing your thoughts. I love that.
