OH! its superb! sounds so simple but so very deep. plies of two souls finding voice in silence.
such a unique write up. u r an out of the box thinker and that’s why u were able to pen this one up.
loved it. 🙂
typo : plights*
Intimate traditions are perhaps the deepest – the zest of real life.
Excellently done.
I agree with Tony. Nice job!
Very clever Rambler
Interesting. Sounds like there are volumes unspoken. Well written.
thoughts of an unspoken mind, but follow the tradition, they must…Intense lines you’ve penned.
whoa! interesting!
never look in the eye? I can not. I have to.
Wow, powerful and poignant words, Rambler! Beautifully done.
never looking in the eye eh?? lovely!!!
Aww, Rambler. How sad; they are so comfortable in so many other ways and yet they can’t face each other… that’s such a loaded image. There’s so much under the surface…
Wow.
Reminds me of a relationship I once had. As negative as it was, sometimes I still long for that time…
Brilliant in its simplicity. A lovely piece and a change from the traditional traditions!
Was she also un-naked? Which tradition are you talking about here……..didn’t get exaclty! I guess I am taking more in other sense…….is simply not looking into the eyes, is the tradition? Did you mean here that special attraction that lay in the eyes?
Eyes…. I have to look in the eyes !!! Must be tough to imagine that …..yet again, well written !
see?
romantic…wow
hmm.
Preeti..actually its two souls having their own reasons to keep up their traditions
Thanks Tony, but then more than intimacy, this was about the disconnect
Thanks Tammy, Marja
lilibeth, yep, so much not spoken, not understood
prats.. precisely what I wanted to bring out
Thanks Winnie
latree..sometimes people find an escape route to prolong
SSG..glad you said that..
Bundle..really?
Thanks Keith
Neilina..probably she wasn’t..tradition they always followed to carry on with their business..not bothering to look in a eye, a metaphor for not having to deal with their problems..nope no attraction, rather disconnect in them
GG..romantic?..really??
DC..come on, get some more words out here 🙂
