You tilt it toward that guy in the team that you’re glad is there except when we join him late for curfew.

Wow. You leave me breathless in awe, having taken me off adroitly when I took your hand, these lines tripping down the page, winking at me as they capably unfolded a tale with such lively poignancy I swooned before the conclusion hinted t\'would comfort me and slake my thirst. Beautifully rendered with a haunting poignancy and superb details. Thank you for sharing.

sweet on you

I loved the opening stanza. Philosophical it used the paradox to set the scene. The rest of the poem romantic and using the innocents of childhood to paint a picture of love that fits in the initial definition. Very nicely done leaving me with feelings of the infinite nature of love.

Here the vivid imagery melts into the metaphor and becomes one as past memories of fishing wash over the brain. Nicely done.

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.

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

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.
