Beautifully Broken

I fear I cannot mend you, he said, you have to want to mend yourself and then maybe, be beautiful again... more words from the Kintsugi chronicles... N

Beautifully Broken

 

She fell in love with imperfections

 

She could see that we were flawed

 

With a golden thread she mended us

 

But twas him that she adored

Love for sure.is merry go round ..fickled type game many play even when mending takes place it is often times too late to take hold..nice work..

[Neville]

[Fran Marie]

Such beautiful words of regret and what could have been. As your note already suggests, you know we will read between the lines and make our own sums add up to five, and wondering what "they" are wondering. I am left thinking wryly, that good guys (& gals) are liked, while we watch them loving the bad from the sidelines.
So much said, and thought, in so few words. I am impressed, as always.

i relate to this in a way...i often got into relationships with people who needed mending...but unfortunately for me...they would mend, then sew somewhere else.

So much provoked by your words!!! In my long healing journey, there are those who want to take care of me, but need me to stay beautifully broken. I've left family members behind becuz they stay stuck & wallowing in brokenness together. I love being attracted to someone's quirks but not in a way that perpetuates brokenness! You are so brilliant in your brevity! (((NUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Neville]

and you my dear Margie are nuthin short of brilliant yourself say's I ... a fundle of NUGs on their way.. N x

When you adore someone it is because of who they are... flaws and all . Loving someone means mending all broken things to make it whole.
What a profound notion about love, my friend.

[Neville]

and what a profoundly adorable gift of words you have left here for me to find... thank you M... Neville x

[Mrudula Rani]

perfection through imperfection,Art of kintsugi is beautiful isn't it. sentimentalists like me appreciates it. Your wonderful wisdom shines through your poetry my dear friend.

[Neville]

and you, as usual are far too kind M......x

For a woman in love, there is usually no mending the relationship or the man. That she adored another, kind of seals this deal. A woman cannot usually love two men unless she’s a superhuman or a cat 😸 Well, my hunch is that the one she adored must be a loser and a cad! Good for the poet!

This was a beautiful and meaningful write for me Neville.

[Neville]

You are one cool cat.. bless ya Dhara_Ditzy Kat... a much appreciated visit... Neville

Here we go again. There is beauty in flawed and broken, but only people with wisdom can see it. It looks here that the broken person who wanted to be fixed actually had more insight than the fixer. Does that make any sense? Plenty of spaces between the lines to spin some yarn here and make a thick winter woolly out of it :) Neville is in a cryptic mood and I am feeling thick today.

[Neville]

Makes perfect sense to me our Chris... tis cold here tho so stay warm and cozy in that woolly .... Neville
