Could
it be we’ll never understand each other?
Could
it be not completely?
Could
it be that men and women just can’t?
But,
Maybe
it’s possible only with lovers.
Maybe
not even then.
Maybe
that’s just normal; the way it seems to go.
And,
Could it be destined for perpetual agree-to-disagrees?
Could it be merely when things are light and bright and cheery?
Could it be mutters of “how sorry” for constant misunderstandings?
Could it be merely when things are light and bright and cheery?
Could it be mutters of “how sorry” for constant misunderstandings?
But,
Maybe,
just maybe, it only works with friends.
Maybe,
then, only sometimes.
Maybe,
though, it never really works at all.
So,
Maybe
it’s just a ridiculous relationship rainbow.
Could
it be the only explanation?

Maybe , Maybe not. But your post is lovely.no doubt.
ReplyDeleteGod only knows. Thanks so much for the lovely!
ReplyDeleteGina, this really made me smile and great use of the prompt. The structure, repetition and doubts/possible answers that play out have your reader digging into their own minds for their answer.
ReplyDeleteBut I like yours.
Thanks for linking up!
Your smiling makes me very happy! It's a conundrum for everyone, I think. Whoever figured it out deserves to win the lottery or something equal to that. Wait, I know!! The Nobel Peace Prize!!!
DeleteRelationship rainbows - I like that! Maybe men and women can understand each other (sometimes)...maybe not. I don't know :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! I think sometimes is doable! Maybe that's all we can truly hope for, but who really knows?
Deleterelationship rainbows - makes me think of how exciting new relationships are, and how mostly unexciting old ones become. Or maybe they just get comfortable.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me think of any sort of meaningful interaction with men. Certainly, old relationships feel comfortable. You are used to them which is a wonderful feeling. New ones are definitely exciting. Seems, though, that they all end up as old ones.
DeleteRelationships rainbows, that is a perfect way to describe the questions we all have about how to understand one another.
ReplyDeletethis made me a little sad because sometimes I just wish we could all just find a kind space with one another, see the rainbow: together.
it was beautiful.
When it happens, you see "it" together. That is a wonderful, wonderful thing! I wish it would happen more often but there is also something to be said for differences. That yin yang thing sure fits together nicely, right?
DeleteThanks!!!!
What does understand each other mean?
ReplyDeleteSerious question, no snark.
Don't have time to write it all out right now but I promise I will.
DeleteSerious? From you? I'm a little skeptical...
If you don't think I am serious than you don't know Jack. :)
DeleteNo. I knew/know you are serious here. You're just not serious here too often ;-)
DeleteThought about this when I wrote my most recent post.
DeleteYour piece made me think...a lot. I think people who love each other can come to understand each other if they really communicate. But, sadly, it's just easier to keep that troubling thought to yourself than to get it out there and hash it out. I've had two relationships go down the drain simply because we were unwilling to try. Very thoughtful piece of writing.
ReplyDeleteYes, love, respect and communications with friends and lovers. Communicating is very difficult sometimes especially with touchy subjects. It's often easier to keep it in and I'm as guilty of that as anyone. Thanks, lumdog!
DeleteRelationship rainbow--I like that! This would be the first time I've ever seen the two words put together. Relationships are enigmas, aren't they? Wonderful response to the prompt, Gina!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen/heard them together either. Sometimes, yes! Thanks Sandra!
DeleteIt would be nice if things were just all simple...
ReplyDeleteI like the relationship rainbow too!
Yes it would be but comicated can be really fun though! And rewarding!
DeleteI think my daughter is the closest thing to a relationship rainbow that I have. I never knew the meaning of unconditional love until her.
ReplyDeleteOne thing is certain though, Gina-I love this piece:)
They say the only truly unconditional love is between parent and child.
DeleteThank you so much Valerie!
some deep stuff here. :) awesome use of the prompt!
ReplyDeleteToo kinds as always, Christina!
DeleteI think it's definitely possible. But rare. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteGreat questions these and with no perfect answer-we just have to p;lay it by the ear-eh Gina?Wonderful take on the prompt-as always:-)
ReplyDelete'tis possible, but only if you find your soulmate in life :)
