I feel like this poem is super relatable especially for those in the LGBTQ+ community, but for me I don\'t feel wrong in my skin I feel wrong in my soul, for I am a girl who likes girls but my religious spirit is telling me no but my heart is telling me yes (I should write about this)p.s Thank you for writing such a meaningful poem I really enjoyed it

in love and in fear
James Michael said:
Laced with your ability to combine imagery with words so incredibly well! I won’t analyze too much, I’ve had a few pints and a martini my son made for me!
Hope you have been well my friend, it’s comforting to know you haven’t given up on this site.

patience, patience

I’ve always enjoyed your style of writing. Forgive me if I say the notchiness makes the emotions shine.
The final stanzas of this modern poem express love as it should be.
Be well my friend!

just enough
GeekSusie said:
This poem exudes a profound sense of yearning and acceptance. It speaks to the universal human experience of unrequited love and the bittersweet emotions that come with it. The juxtaposition of deep longing with the acceptance of reality is both heart-wrenching and beautifully resonant. The imagery, especially the closing visual of the two hats resting side by side in the morning light, evokes a gentle sense of what could have been, yet also a recognition of the simple, tangible moments that do exist. It\'s a poignant reminder of how love, in all its forms and complexities, is woven into the fabric of our lives.

Stunningly moving... maybe the most sincere thing I have read on these pages in months... human, humane, loving, yet steel-eyed and painfully honest. A beautiful soliloquy, and a bittersweet farewell.

Nicely written! I can feel the conflicting emotions in the piece. \"...even if it’s through
clenched teeth sometimes,
it’s the truth\"

a searching confession
asking, more than expressing
like the song as well
singer has such a genuine voice
less polished, more relatable..
thanks for sharing, dear Poet

on growing up and growing old
HannahElisabeth said:
For some reason it\'s not letting me favorite this at the moment... But
\"but i am not my father’s son,
and i never was my mother’s daughter
i am the burning streak of light against
the dark velvet of the sky, the echo\"
I got chills. Thank you for sharing and Happy Pride Month ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Enjoyed the third stanza enormously. Doesn’t take money to swoon someone that might fall in love with you.

Metaphorically the best poem I’ve read in a long time. We all must realize the hardships we face in search of love. A broken heart can be the best kind.

all in the name of love
jarcher54 said:
Whatever that name is, most of us have one we can chant in our quiet thoughtful hours, and feel a whole life of love, regret, shame, warmth, and wonder come flooding into our hearts. Thanks for the bittersweet reverie.

My goodness, this pervading sensation of nostalgia and wistful love is literally so evocative. Like your yearning for a sweet relationship, similar to the one shared as children, truly highlights your desire for a strong, firm bond. The last line is also such a wonderful line: wanting to not only grow old, but also mature in a relationship. This reminds me of a song by New Zealand singer Lorde entitled \"Ribs.\" (I highly recommend it).
