Grey Shades...




Shading Things In Grey

Not all things are
black and white.
Not everything
is in vivid color.
Some things are
in shades of grey.

That's where we are.

Yes, I can still see colors...
the reds, and blues,
and the golds.
On a bright clear day
I see the majesty of life
surrounding me.
But then I come home
and life looses it's hue.

I'm tired of living
a life that has no color...
no feeling...
no touch.
I want a life again
that's vivid and vital.
One that knows smiles
and soft gentle sighs.

But how do I get beyond
the shades of grey
that you've painted for us...
and not hurt you
at the same time?

How do we learn to live again
without these shades of grey?

Like Kat, I am not sure who you are writing about... but I feel the pain and frustration in this piece.

All I can do is offer big hugs and say 143 always, my friend...



Not all who wander are lost.

We all know how it feels sometimes, to live in a world like this. Fortunately, most don't have to stay there long. While still others find a world like this everyday.

They may escape it while they are at work, or out and about with friends. But, when it's time to go home again... it's there waiting for them.

I wrote this, not looking for sympathy or a shoulder to rest my head upon. It sometimes helps to identify exactly where you are sometimes. A "State Of the Union" in an entirely different form, if you will. (Actually, I hate to admit it, but a stranger's shoulder "would" be nice, too.)

Originally, I started here at Affairlook because of this. But you, my friends here in blogland, has helped me tremendously to help forget about it. Still, sometimes late at night, it sure would be great to feel a soft touch... and even make love. Or kiss... or hold each other... or something. lol!

Hi Kat... Yes, guilty. It's about me.

I really don't know why I chose to do this one. It isn't my usual cup of tea. But, that was what was on my mind at the time; and I won't deny my own thoughts.

And yes, I've long ago given up making things better... but I also keep trying. Maybe one day, she'll fall into a second childhood or find that she needs the same things I need. Until then....
Good to see you again. hug, me

Safira... That's the crux of it, isn't it? I've contemplated giving it "all" up, but that wouldn't be fair to anyone. So... a monk's life continues. 143, my dear friend, me

P... thanks for this loving thought. It's very true. The sad part also, is that some people don't even know they are living in a grey area. But the ones who are forced to live in it with them sure do.

I'll throw up some "pretty" colors today. Perhaps I'll just let this post go away. hugs, and 143,2! me

My sweet friend......I too have lived in these shades of grey. I have sometimes cried myself to sleep longing for that loving touch once again. The thing that most surprised me as colors begin to come back into my life is how much the lack of communication affected those shades of grey. I mean.....we talked.....but sometimes we truly said nothing. And some of those nights that I wished I could feel his touch, he was feeling the same way. But neither of us wanted to step out and feel rejection again. I don't have the answers......I can only send you my love. And thank you for putting "color" back into my life in so very many ways. 143 always

Angel... the colors have always been around you. You just sometimes forgot to look "through" your eyes.I just reminded you, that's all. And I appreciate the love sent. 143, me

Angela... You know exactly what I wrote and exactly why. You've been there. But then, so many have been there. And we all will be there again. "Believe." Thanks for the offer of the shoulder. I just might take you up on it someday! Warm hug, me
