Rambling

"Google a guy's history if you are interested in him. If he has not stayed in one place very long at any one time, you can be sure he won't stay with YOU." quote by poet Beware the rambling lad you meet one day who comes into your town and turns your head. He’s just a naughty boy who wants to play, but never will he settle down to wed. He’ll croon to you a lovely serenade beneath your window, playing his guitar. Too late you’ll learn it’s YOU that has been played when on your heart there will be left a scar. It’s wanderlust that he is all about plus lusting after girls who just like you fall prey to thinking that he is devout because he pledges love, his love’s not true. They say that those who ramble have no goal, but this lad plays a lady-killer’s role.

I love this poem, your message to young girls is quite clear my friend, and how many have fallen into this trap over the years going back centuries. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

If I were kind, I might say the lad was looking for something, but does not have the inner self-worth to understand what that is. Perhaps he thought he would stay, but could not bring himself to commit. Hard to get inside each different personality type. However, that's only if giving the maximum benefit to this type.

Andrea, a fun read. Some people do not understand the benefits of commitment. Maybe they are just keeping score or taking advantage of their charm. As far as it being a guy thing, we could probably have a long discussion about the male ego and brain. I have met several young men like this so I can't say you are wrong to warn everyone! All should be careful! Attraction is a very powerful force.

Dear Andrea, Your poem is a well written cautionary tale of love and deception. Through elegant verse, you show of the dangers of falling for a charming wanderer. Your words carry a powerful message about the perils of being swept away by sweet promises. A wonderful reflection on matters of the heart. - Blessings, Daniel
