It's always a joy to read and: It's always a joy to read and comment on your work. Thank you for the kind words. 

Cutting people off in traffic: Cutting people off in traffic is a mighty metaphor wielded in this poem. Good stuff

I felt it all as if every: I felt it all as if every word  was my own, only it wasn't I just wish it was because it cam from a greater poetic mind and that is a sign of greatness. So many beautiful and deep lines highly emotional whilst maintaining a coldness or bereft mood that is a very difficult thing to do indeed! My favourite lines :   "I remember being annihilated by love, burned to death by beauty.   Life was distilled  to one note:  just you and that was enough   A reat poem within a great poem! Ah beavis would be proud well as proud as I am surely to know you. What richness and depth distilled so well  I still search for signposts.... Just wow!  When ever fragments of you wash upon the shore or doze in your chair... how well you describe the missing to produce a guttural reaction in the reader...   Just... Wow!

I truly wish a poem like this: I truly wish a poem like this had been available in October, 1975, when I first experienced the urge to become a Poet.  This Poem, in its shimmering magnificence, is and will be a guiding star to young Poets.  I believe that this one of the most important poems on this site.
