How good! I totally ignored: How good! I totally ignored my phone ringing to read this and well I love the ending as much as the faux par. Nicely written held the intimacy and realism well, I felt myself think I've been there before, not the same issue but the same rhythmic dance of words snaking through to get to the truth only to find its actually an eel. Just Good work. Great even! Hugss
Just gorgeous! Expertly: Just gorgeous! Expertly done
I have so many day_night lovers poems i can day hand on my heart this is simply gorgeous and affecting from start to finish.
Wonderfully wrought an ageless theme in a flawless frame. Hugss
Yes what if all is well?
It: Yes what if all is well?
It is always well,
What a boring way
If heaven is nothing but peace all day
No touch
Taste,
Smell,
Only foresight
No free will,
How boring if all was well
How great that such a journey begins
Where the dark is the backdrop of light
Constrasting and playing
With blind luck
Seeing strengths we never knew we had
Things we never dreamed
Because we always knew
What a gift a is the veil
What a thrill is exposition
Something different to what you knew
The joy of surprise
A truly valuable thing
In the eye of the beholder
Who could not with out life
Have beholden.
Such an amazing concept and look at trials and renewal tge art of tempering...
How well you write,
Alwaye a pleasure in every case.

Its been too long
So much: Its been too long
So much going on
Sorry dear,
Now let's enjoy your take
Life and fear
So many great lines and ideas
Duality and insight
I loved this:
"searches the
nonnegotiable
emptiness—"
Just wow.
The wolf has nothing on you but it leads the way to the hunting grounds...
For clues to you
Who you are
Begins and ends
Where the old you ends,
and new you begins...
A challenging and inspiring journey...
Hugss
I love the ending drawing in: I love the ending drawing in the reader by addressing them directly leaving them wonder and emphasise the unfinished work. Alot of gobledy goop with some real gems planted inside - insights. Powerful ones. Enjoyed the experience of this poem. I hate AI.
There are always going to: There are always going to readers who either scorn, misunderstand, or condemn your poems. And keep in mind that even Jesus was accused of being in league with the devil during His ministry. I guess that slaphappy stupidity comes with the territory.
And that territory, please remember, is to help explain the Cosmos to itself. No single Poet can do the complete job; all of us who are called to that vocation have to do the part assigned to us. Remember how Adam, in Eden, was called to name the animals. That task being finished, we are called, as his sons and daughters, to name and explicate the Cosmos and its many parts: and it is everything from two lovers holding hands to two stars arising from the sa,e nebula and orbiting each other. That can be explicated scientifically, but it also quietly requires---even demands---Poetry to also describe this mechanism. This is the vocation to which you have been called, and until your final poem is written, you will have work to do.
Thank you for commenting. : Thank you for commenting. The Early Christians are very important to me; I think that is why I incline to Orthodox Christianity, because it feels more connected to them than the Western version.
Thank you for interpreting: Thank you for interpreting that poem far beyond what I thought I had written; I am more pleased with it after reading your kind comment.
Yes, hopefully we all are: Yes, hopefully we all are appreciative of what we have here. It is great to be able to post and read so much poetry. We're all different but we find a way to co-exist.
