gentle understanding, in your depths I search
to find a way to reconcile
the wild ways of the world and your nature Father
inside me is conflicting feelings
creative need, you admonish me you prefer my softer side
cruel desire is the way of some
but it is not me
bedeviled greed, to be popular
you tell me I encourage the wrong kind of attention
that I provoke the wrong side on you
you whisper, be soft Brenda
your sweet caress within tenderness, is felt
while the cold calculating side of you brings out my monster
seducing the words
it is difficult to make the bad feelings fade
to create without feeling their affect
Father I seek to please you
so I'll drown out the noise
of others playing on different courts
focus my energies anew, and find us

It is very bewitching. When he tells you to stay calm so his monster does not come out. nice
hello lovely Fia he told me last night after I posted my poem he said he knows I am capable of this mischief but he prefers my softer side…I asked him further about his varied sides and he says it’s all in what side I provoke will I get from him thank you for reading and commenting ❤️
Crimsin, both tender and fiery this poem is. He tries to elicit your soft side but his true nature brings out the lioness. Great poem as I have come to expect from you.

Brilliant work. Powerful.
Brenda, you amaze me with, “of others playing on different courts.” Love that line.
A lovely & fragile piece of poetry Brenda. You always seem to amaze. Great work here.
