A detail that everyone has ignored

-

 He finds soon himself totally depending on her, showering her with clothes and gifts. Embarrassed by this situation, he does nothing to change it. Love wins when she reveals to him on the new year's evening that she loves him. He attended a party made by a friend and discussed with an ambitious woman, who has shown interest in one of his projects. But when he called her to announce his departure on a trip, he learnt that she has also organized a small party. He rushed back to reassure her, and ultimately stayed at the party. Their relationship thus settles down while his work progresses. His friend is interested in her car, an antique one, for a reconstruction. A detail that everyone has ignored.

By this occasion, he meets his old girlfriend again. He then agrees to collaborate with her on a project. A romance blossoms between them. When she finds out, she calls his girlfriend to reveal the secrets of her life with him. The latter discovered it , he grabs the phone and calls his girlfriend to show her his living environment with her. He manages to scare her. She claims victory, but he pushes her away and packs his bags to leave her. She threatens him with scandal, he doesn't take her seriously but, when he wants to leave the house, she falls into the swimming-pool.

She's the one who's dependent..and evidently a drama queen too. Sounds like a sad premise, but many fall into this pit.

It is always interesting how in some cultures, of what women expect from men, especially to be showered with gifts. I was never like that. I didn't expect too much. Well, there was that time I was hoping for a watch at Christmas instead I got a timer for the kitchen. I tend to burn things in the oven and still do. But my cousin from the Phillipines, she expected her boyfriend to take her shopping every payday. Then when we were out she expected him to buy me clothes too, but I said, "I couldn't."

the reality is quite different

Simplistic people labeled them as deviants, but the reality is quite different. It's sometimes a departure to know oneself and at the same time to get away from everything and everyone in order to truly live and come back much more mature than before, simply because one will have had time to think better.

WHY I LOVE POETRY

-
I love poetry because it immerses deeply in my soul. When I listen to it or read  poems, I am completely transported to another world where everything  is beautiful. If all of  our life were a poem, said by a veteran poet to his captivating beloved.  If it were as simple as poetry, as profound as poetry and as moving as poetry. Poetry says what words can not and conveys what words fail to. I love it because it is my favorite way to travel through time and space, taken  far away in poems. I can not imagine life without poetry! It would inevitably be bleak and deadly and every day would resemble to the day before. It is not just an art like any other art, nor a hobby or a talent. It is a cause, a cause as important as the importance of life and the inevitability of death. After all the destructive wars and all the extinct civilizations, we find poetry resilient to face everything. Time can not remove it, nor can disasters change it. It passed on from a generation ...

Deeply emotional

What a deeply emotional and evocative piece of the day! The flow of words creates a haunting, wistful atmosphere, where love and pain intertvine in a profound way. The way you express longing and loss, while still holding on to beautiful memories, speaks directly to the heart. I dreamt of you tonight, my love! set the tone for my entire poem, immersing in a dream like state where reality and imagination blur. There’s a rawness in the words, particularly when I speak of  a soul crying, and yearning for connection across time and space. The repetition of “Every single night” reinforces the never ending nature of my longing, emphasizing how the love transcends your physical presence and resides in memories and dreams. The imagery of kisses and hugs in the relation is so tender and vivid, it paints a picture of an eternal love that even time can not erase. The theme of love lingering in the past, intertvined with the passage of time, creates a sense of bittersweet nostalgia. Even thoug...
