I just don't get it

I don’t know perhaps it’s just my age; I just don’t get it (too old to learn)

All this love, darkness, pain and hurt when I read the great works of others on here.

It seems to be the same thing over and over again; loved and wrong, loved then dogged or loved with no love in return.

Or maybe,
I am just jealous?

    That is definitely some food for thought, to the observer jealiously is always proclaimed, however, I think it's just a suggestion for those who are willing to take it as such, for any other, screw em' i guess. Nice idea.

    Let me guess... You must be married or have children or both right?

    LOL, Lucky you!

    I guess I am one of those writers that you refer about, or express about that you don't understand. Don't worry, I'm not offended nor should anyone else be that reads this, its how you feel. I guess its just that love is such a deep and strong emotion that those of us that haven't found it yet, truly, and or been having problems keeping it have to express it in order to feel better or sane (and even then, you could go completely mad, lol)

    But eventually all of us that cry about love will eventually embrace it, or find resolution with it... lol, interesting piece here.

    Hope I helped a lil

    I have also noticed this, but I believe it just fuels younger people into begining their writing journey, as it has done for me. I took my negative energy and released it with pen and now I can write about more happy things. I think you are probably not jealous of others pain though. Tink

    Unfortunately that's life and to write about it releases some of their pain.Love makes the world go round but it has a few rusty creaks on the way, Ros

    Interesting!!!

    This does not sound like jealousy to me. After all you have some one who loves you to May be it is taste. Reading your quthor page one will assume you would rather read humor and such instead of love, dark and pain kinda poems.

    You are only 169 years old and don't look even 100. That says a lot. Women don't like to disclose their age but here you are calling yourself old when you are so very young (69 years, oops)

    I write mostly love poems and erotica. Ask me for a humor piece and you have me there, caught flat footed. So there you are!!!

    Much Love

    People all over have experiences with love....be they good or bad...they have to write about it in order to process it...Good insight though! Nicely written!

    Smiles, Is it not better to go through life with a smile and bells on your wrist and ankles rather than confront all those wild and crazy emotions?

    We all need to smile more and frown less.

    It is good to hear from you again. I thought you were gone for good.

    Smiles

    Your friend,
    Dennis

    All I have to say regarding your author page is , "Such language Godzilla!" That's pretty impressive. Much to learn I have. I was thinking about your poem here and it reminded me that all of popular media, TV, movies, music, etc would convince us that the highest calling in all of life is the emotion generated between two people "in love". The contradicting divorce and parting of company numbers would say that the average person who believes the media wouldn't know love if it bit them on the fanny. Don't be jealous just dive in, the water will either burn your hide off or freeze your heart. I'm not really this jaded, you'll see. RC
