Very well and succinctly put. Sadly too many people think of love in purely superficial terms and what they can get out of a relationship rather than what they can brinbg to a relationship.
Nice one

Somebody who touched more than one other life in his own. This is very often the case without us realising it.

A reminder that an unmentioned "other" also has to
endure in such circumstances - gently evocative to allow
us to take on board the human cost that is often only partly
acknowledged, if at all, when death comes to call.

Thanks to David for liking and to Taylor , Jane, Sal and Ray thanks for your reading and appreciation.
Ray I am glad that you felt you could open this up. It is based on my observation of an individual from a little bit of distance so to be honest so I am not sure whether it was a man or a woman. I am guessing like you that it was a man I saw. But this piece was in part as a result of seeing this person and hearing an excellent poem recently about somebody who was transgender. This in turn got me thinking about identity and its importance not only to the person who wants to be identified in a particular way or not but also to us those others who view that person from the outside and the judgements we automatically make either rightly or wrongly. I am obliged too you because even now I am thinking again about my own responses.
Thanks again mate
Martin

I just read this while listening to a melodic song, and I have to say, it's another one of those filled with excellence in each line and one of your best.
I could review the whole piece line by line and still not say everything that needs to be said. .Maybe I'll just wait for it to make its rounds and see what others have to say first.
Expect me back, but until then, very great poem.?

Great reason to write poetry - raising funds for those affected by violence. Since poetry is a great mediator and reason to write, that in itself should be commended.?

Thank you Taylor.
I feel that people who are more mentally and emotionally vulnerable get manipulated and pitted against friends, by un-true friends.
I also feel that being awake to manipulation can cause bad reactions on our part, but believe that truly over-coming it is to seize to give them the power any longer. Often, people who stir things and control things, feel at a loss when reactions are not gained.
Today writing this poem I decided I am not someones weapon, but I am my own. Though not all weapons require to be used, but to be disarmed.

Your profile "rant" is so encouraging to this newcomer! Would you believe I did a google search yesterday, "Are there rules to writing poetry?" I knew there weren't, but I guess there were still questions I couldn't really form. I think you cleared that up for me.
And you have succeeded already as to evoking my emotions with my first read of your work "Whispers." My x and I were both guilty on that front.
