Perceptions

by Brenda   Mar 15, 2017


You tell me that
I am beautiful,
I gently chide you
about needing glasses.
You tell me that
I 'm the hottest around,
I jokingly tell you
I think you simply mad.
Your perception of me
is something
I don't see myself.
Your perception of me
is one of the many reasons
I love you
the way I do.
-
You have always given me
wings to fly.
Knowing I will never
crash and burn,
always steadfast in your belief
of me.
My rock, the foundation
I always find firm footing with.
Safe in the knowledge
you will never
let me down.
-
In every relationship
there's a CEO
and someone that
parks the cars.
You like to joke that's us.
I never think
one leads, one follows,
just us two,
walking hand in hand,
enjoying this life
we've made...

    Brenda,

    I saw your name and look if there's new...then this one is very sweet.. I'm can visualize the the scene teasing each other with sweet compliments...i love the last stanza also it shows that in every relationship there's a king and queen..i must stay ahead and the other one will follow... Good flow... Stay submissive..lol

    Brenda,

    What a simply beautiful poem with some magical sprinklings of rhyme throughout, which you know I like!
    When we find ourselves in a relationship as equal and understanding as this, we can count ourselves lucky indeed.
    I'm glad this has been nominated, else I would have done it myself!

    All the best, Brenda.

    Brenda, you always write beautiful words about love, ones that some can relate to and others wish they could. And I feel when you have found that special someone (I wish i had then others times i am glad i only have myself) you feel like you're on top of the world with them at your side.

    Perceptions what are those?? Well, in my opinion its how someone, anyone perceives us, how they judge us and people do unfortunately some of them wrong and some of them so right but sometimes peoples perceptions' of us and ours of them are well and truly wrong. Anyway, here this person perception of you is so, so right!!

    1/ All I am going to say is you are beautiful and when someone tells us this we never believe them. Maybe it's the past or maybe it's just how we feel about ourselves that we just can't believe them so we do joke about how they can't see properly. Etc because we can't see our own beauty and we'd be very modest if we did but some people are very confident in the way they look so can

    2/ Absolutely loved this part Brenda and its so lovely that you have found the one and you are so trusting that he will never hurt you and I'm really happy because you deserve an honest kind of love that never ends even when (and I'm sorry to say) when one of you passes because its that kind of love that will last forever and ever and it makes md beam reading your stuff about your relationship.

    3/ When you're in an honest relationship full of love you both take the flack for stuff and neither is above the other and that's how it should be.

    You made my heart melt with this. Huge hugs, Em x

      Em, you always do such a beautiful indepth thought process on my writes, thank you for that. I hold out hope that one day you will meet that special one who makes your heart sing and treats you the way you should be treated. He's out there, I just know it! After my previous relationships I thought I would never meet someone like him, but there he was and it's been magic ever since. Hugs to you sweet girl!
