more progress on Young man Grown man poem

Young man Grown man, Do you know what love is?
What is that feeling?
Having never been taught to love but I didn’t question holding it in
Recipes for men often come incomplete made to seem simple blend
Leaving the cake to bake itself no love no yeast to rise
Like making a plant water itself underneath a cloudless sky
Free passes eagerly handed out
One for each and every no sense in learning till it is ultimately necessary
Or after several broken hearts whether ours or theirs
Young man Grown man You do not own their heart
Your are given it
Wrap it in loyalty inspired by respect and affection

True attraction isn’t going to be logical nor seem sensible
True attraction extends out further than 6 inches
But that’s the only way eyes can react
Let me guess, it all started with a vague, confused, non-defined purpose
Most men go into a relationship without a clear view of what they want.
Lust filled your eyes and you wanted run before you learn to walk
Cause it is much easier not to think about Now
Not familiar with Later
Young man Grown man you have spent your time running from people or attaching hopes to people you can’t have
Young man Grown man your mind is a pendulum
swinging from carpe diem to doubtful

In this digital world we want the perfect match
Living vicariously through our electronic harmonies, friendfinders, match, true, date.coms
WE want success with without work in a relationship
Contracting the construction to build our house out to others
Or trying to DIY projects without tools or blueprint on the fly
30 yrs gone by trial and error exhausted
Resentment and bitterness
Young man Grown man maybe we need to buy some tools

Young woman Grown Woman your unbuilt unrealistic floating castles leaves us men frustrated
no tool available can build that mansion villa or château pedestal ideal
mansion villa or chataeu pedestal ideal that you fail to realistically maintain
romantic novels, movies, or what you’re mama pretended to have for 30 years as the foundation
