I don't see it as confessional either, but if you write for reaction around here more than likely you are going to get it.

To Rainbow Chaser,
I saw several comments about your poem that I had to go and read it - to see what they were talking about.
Size, shape and looks do matter to a lot of men.
But not all.
In fact, the guys that are faithful to one woman, are usually more concerned about her inner qualities.
As a matter of fact, as I look back on things, most of the guys that I know that cheated constantly - had foxy beautiful women as their mates.
On the other hand, most of the guys that were married to rotund - full figured women with little or no "looks" tended to be the faithful type.
One can analyze forever on this strange phenomena -
But could it be that the man who settles for inner beauty - is the type that doesn't cheat.....
While the man who requires looks and figure - is only looking to satisfy his physical hunger - and therefore is the cheating kind ????
Just speculating.
Being heavy or homely might save a woman from a lot of grief. She knows that he loves her for what is inside - since that is all that she has to offer.
My friends roommate - "Susan" was a beautiful model type - who committed suicide at the age of 27 - because she was used for her body by men - she was in great deamand - but none every looked beyond her body and face. She wanted so desperately to be loved for who she was - but her stunning beauty and gorgeious figure always attracted the wrong type of men.
They would proclaim love to her, but always cheated on her in the end.
Champagne,
Your advice to Rainbowchaser is right on, execpt for the sentence "guys that settle for inner-beauty" I'm sure that these men don't consider it "settling". I think they consider themselves lucky, as they should.
My guy may not have shone on valentine's day, but he loves me through my "ugly" days and says, "Who cares about your hair? You're beautiful in a gunny sack. I love you for YOU."
I'll give up every holiday in the world for that! I know he's truthful, because we met online and talked for months before he seen me. He sent picture to me, but I just gave him a general description. We've had it great so far. (Execpt Valentine's Day,) [Clears throat.......]
Rainbow-- I'm here if you need to talk personally. I've felt a kinship with you since I can to this site because I can relate to your work. Please give me your personal email again, I need to tell you something privately, if you don't mind. Or email me.... Fatale79@hotmail.com
I've been wanting to get to know you better. Take care of yourself, my friend.
If you can more than afford a Lamborgini would you settle for a BMW?
What I'm saying is that the guys who go for looks cheat because there is always someone out there that may look better than what they currently have.
The guys who go for inner beauty don't settle but apperciate what they have. In their eyes they have struck the gold mine of their entire life.
My fiance is beautiful, I dug deep and I struck gold.
Gala~You're making me blush. :-) Thanks.
hello eveyone. i've been lurking here for months now. i'm more the reading rather than writing type, but you people might change me. especially since i have an account now, just to comment.
sushi-for once i agree with you. and bk as well. its amazing, that it takes an attack on a girls appearance, to get the board to talk about the intricacies of love again.
its been my experience that people that constantly call other fat, unattractive and harp on their appearance in general are the ones that are shallow and insecure.
i don't want to offend rainbow, but throwing up for her? as opposed to throwing up for yourself? neither seems a good way to deal with feeling threatened.
for what it's worth... my opinion is beauty and love is in the eye of the beholder...that's why people don't agree when someone wins a beauty pageant...always a controversy...even tonight, everyone will not agree with Trista, the bachelorette, when she makes her pick between Charlie or Ryan...sometimes logic doesn't come into play when you are in love and as we all probably have experienced "love can be so blind".
Rainbow~I have felt your pain...I have felt your anger...only when you grow beyond the anger can you live again...lay in your cellar where darkness surrounds you...live your anger, taste it, see it, smell it, embrace it, make love to it, write it, toss it in the wind, release it... and live...the view from the balcony is where you see your rainbow...the colors are more beutiful than what meets the eye...I pray you soon stand in the balcony with a clear view
Stephen; Inhaling This is wonderful Steven and we have missed you, glad you are back.
Jon; AMEN AMEN AMEN

Is it my backswing? stirred up a few memories of my own...How hard it is to miss someone as you describe...I remember one time i bought a teeny-tiny bottle of discontinued cologne from ebay just so I could breathe his scent...by the way, I don't remember who wrote about the drive by/walk by...but I did that once or twice...was glad that someone else admitted to it too, because I was so self conscious about it...I questioned myself if I was a stalker...heehee...

kareem - love the first time i saw you. I've known women in my life who were not physically beautiful in the traditional way, who could light up a room when they walked in simply with their presence.
I think you've captured that. Keep breaking hearts.
Jim
cryingshame58,
Thanks... Yes, there is half a bottle, and although it is easily available at WalMart, I conserve it like a bedouin in the sahara, for I will never buy another bottle. It would not be hers.
I've been meaning to comment on the discussion re: rainbow chaser's two latest. While the subject of her work may be shallow, it is well written in my opinion, and obviously got attention and aroused emotion. Isn't that the whole point of writing? Who wants to read something and feel nothing? As for "too late", again I read it and cried today.
jwb71913 and ladyinwaiting:
It means a lot that you guys care. I just started writing again after sometime and you have just given me more inspiration. I promise to share.
Thank You!!!
Zero Love oh zero love where art thou? your perfect fan misses your words! Come back to the blender, I miss thee!:)
Stephen! I've missed you. And I really like 'Inhaling', especially these last lines:
The day to twine again is golden
and that love is worth all wait
b.k.
You touch me. The Tip of My Sighs is sweet and simple and makes me feel like the man of your dreams.
