    Poem Commentary

    Read this in the honoring it was intended, for I honor you with my piece of truth.

    Frank Talk

    Permit nothing and no one to take away the surety of my love
    Stop wondering, its a given, its even non-refundable, nothing you can do about it

    Never mistake that for a willingness to be bullied
    For you see the love is yours, I gave it freely

    I have my own ways of doing things
    And like you I won't be controlled

    I don't mind helping but I mind force
    I have a rebel heart and my ways are different

    I dislike the sound of a cat with its tail slammed in the door
    And sometimes that's how it is here when I get too close or go too far or there's something not being dealt with

    I have respect and thats all I want to hear
    Mankind is made for dignity and not crude mockery

    Love comes not from actions, that is the gift of presence
    Able to love, that generates the freewill gift of love from me to you and you to me

    If it were based on actions then I could remove it
    That would put you and me in a spot wouldn't it

    But love is love and that remains, it is the only thing eternal
    Interaction now that's another matter

    You don't seem to understand I'm not into stories of lost love as though anyone has power over love
    Because I have found we can't lose it and I don't want you basing our future on misbegotten ideas of loss and putting it out there as though it's the surest potential

    We plant crops and those types of seed don't belong in this bed of soil
    Your harm will never come by me for why would I willingly harm anyone I cherish or even others made in the image of Creation God

    Choices, we all get to make them, we decide who we want around by our actions and our words
    If I can reach into my soul and give to you the gift of eternal love you too can make a choice to reach deep into your soul and bring out honor

    When you send up signs that you don't want me around
    Thats what happens, the mirror seeds you planted grow and I go and nurture myself for I am able

    Space permits the heart to know its desire
    When you seem confused and unsure that's a loud message

    Of a need for time to discover how you feel when I am not around
    Laid against the knowing of how you feel when I am

    Why would I not honor your mirror
    For it is only by going through it that we learn

    Never doubt me and the intention of my love
    Your free to walk away with it at no charge, it's yours, I gave it, I won't demand it back

    When you desire my company that's another story
    I pour out and I give of my freewill just like you, if you disdain it I am free to find honor where my gifts are valued

    I give you no disrespect nor do I want you contained, I desire you expansive
    I love your love and I place no other before you

    But I honor myself with acceptance and serenity
    And I give no other any rights to distort that

    Not even you the one I love

    i was wanting a graceladymn fix ... what a lovely piece, full of heart and truth and plain-speaking but eloquent lines ... as i go back to choose a "favorite" line or two, there are too many, lol ... from the very start, this "frank talk" comes with meaty advice, while the chief tenets of respect (for self and others, which are connected) and love (the true, unconditional kind) are communicated with ... grace ... ty for posting! -dh

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
