Notes About The Poem

The Difference Between You and Me

You hug and slug me
You hot and cold me
You love and loathe me
You calm and craze me
You feed and starve me
You kiss and hiss me
You heal and hurt me
You praise and raze me
You fill and kill me

I hug and tug you
I heat and hot you
I love and live you
I calm and psalm you
I feed and fill you
I kiss and miss you
I heal and feel you
I praise and raise you
I fill and thrill you

See the Difference?

Strange how people know there's something different but can't really put their finger on it! LOL Is wasn't a haircut... it was a major beard trim to allow for my new CPAP machine! I have sleep apnea and must wear a face mask to avoid an interruption in my breathing while sleeping which can become fatal! Huggles, Kenny xxxxx

Man's love for a woman pales before the magnanimous love a woman has for her man! Excellent and deep writing that sheds light into the psyche of both men and women, dear Eileen!

Yes, my dear sweet poet. You are right. I do believe that a woman's love for her man is incomparable. If she knows he is true, if she knows she is the only one in his heart....that is nothing she would not do for him. Thank you for your kind sweet visit. Blessings....Always...Filakia

Only a woman can say those words, because only a woman has felt that way. I so much support those words. Deseves a warm womanly 7:)

Thanks, Tim. I had fun playing with words on that one. It's still not where I want it to be, but....I got tired in the end. Hugs
