I'm deeply moved by your: I'm deeply moved by your words of appreciation, and believe me, it was a joy to read and comment on this very poignant creation. I only wish that I could read your work in your mother tongue. It must be truly remarkable. But trust me, your expressions in English are clear, impacting and eloquent. Thank you again for your very kind and supportive response.
Thank you very, very much. I: Thank you very, very much. I think so much of Kaisarion, and writing about him in this way seems like a means by which to reach out to him in the past.
Thank you, patricajj (Reedited 05.01.2024 [06:45]): You've once again given definition to what I'm trying to portray, as I myself could not unravel my own poetic language use. I must state that your comments, which are gracing my page ever since, are way.. phenomenal [to say the least] and totally unexpected (to my own level of understanding). My mind is like that of a scatterbrain and you seem to keep my thoughts together by your lurid comments that are sort of acting like explainers to me. My native language is not that good either, but when trying to create these test pieces in English in an internet setting, I seem to really get these often (sort of unspoken puzzlements). But I am just really baffled about how poetry works (which is why aside from checking back in here to refer back or recheck/review what transpired, I also still find some type of a relief in it, in doing so & in various ways even if just thinking about it, envisioning/thinking it through—than in merely chatting with other people in a type of black and white conversation, if not having an outlet such as this). (I would not say that I have done my best here, by putting these thoughts about a recent muse/inspiration, but I guess it just flowed out while trying to figure out the most correct words in place of such meaningful imageries transcribed, thoughts manifested in a way.) As always, in spite of me, thank you. [—It is really so humbling and remarkable to have been critiqued by you. I don't know what to say but you got exactly what I'm yearning for in this particular poem. If "N." in case reads this, she might become so overwhelmed with spontaneous feelings that should surely sink in eventually. While I do not mean to negate my slow progress, it is also in line with my own assessments of how clearly I have made my thoughts flow out or have demonstrated what I should have had felt in that spur of the moment, in the most honest and candid way I thought could.] G'night.
The portrait you painted,: The portrait you painted, with brushstrokes of eloquence, is one of rare beauty, self-assurance and an alluring mystique. So brilliant, the way you expressed a desire to enter the fortress that surrounds her, to know the exquisite spirit within, but such a lofty endeavor would mean unraveling "the mystery of time".
More than a tribute: a radiant, timeless monument!
Cavafy certainly shines: Cavafy certainly shines through here in your majestic and sumptuous poetic sanctum. The atmosphere and the delirious heights of rapture are a powerful combination as well as a worthy tribute to Kaisarion. Well done!
Since the theater was empty..: Since the theater was empty. I have no problem with what you and he were doing. If there were others there, please be aware they are not there to watch you and your boyfriend engaging in sexual activity. Please keep the moaning to a minimum. Thank you.
This was so much fun. Really: This was so much fun. Really enjoyed your intentional, delightfully snarky forced rhymes.
"hope they go far away-bors" That's a hoot!
Anything that can make me smile and chuckle right now is golden. Great escapisism. Thanks!
This is deliciously dark,: This is deliciously dark, pensive and wistful like many of my 3am thoughts but much more eloquent. Your notes really nailed the mood and the mindset. Beautifully composed and resonant. Enjoyed!
This little gem truly rocks!: This little gem truly rocks! The sensuality, made palpable with serpentine movement and beguiling images, is intense and astonishing. The wordplay: cunning. The entire creation: a huge success.
Respect and applause!
One hundred percent: One hundred percent agree!
With agility, clarity and wisdom, you gave the enlightened minority permission to guard their energy from emotional vampires; to prioritize authenticity and inner peace (and the reason we are in this world to begin with) over superficial, toxic relationships that may be in their own families. Then the path to "become/ who you are meant to be" is much smoother.
Very liberating and empowering guidance with a title that is a poem itself. Pure gold! Just can't praise this enough.
