P.S. I can’t imagine what she scribbled and that aspect of keeping tension and mystery engulfs readers.

You , my friend, have a style that is at a real nice level. This is a power pice and I like how you are consistent with driving fir a certain movement in your work without the cliche’ often seen in this site. Head and shoulders above most displaying a dedication to the art. You don’t ā€œ mail stuff inā€ many props

Betrayal....\"The pictures in his unlocked phone, Engulfed her every fibre in red mist, Initial anger turned to shock\". Strong emotions! Thank you for sharing!

A splendid read, musical almost, even. The closing is marvelous and beautiful. The stuff acoustic love songs are made of. Well done dear poet.

I remember reading this on ā€˜ all poetry ā€˜ a while back ..

A great writing , strong words

I think some people are selfish /thoughtless and they don’t care if they hurt someone .. at least this is what your poem made me think of

Some things seem so nice then they go all wrong .. and you realise the person isn’t as nice you thought they were ..

Dear peto,
Your written words are astounding. Such a pleasure to read.
One of my favorite lines:

ā€˜The prayers offered up in church
Had burst the dam and washed away her fear’

LIZ said:

Mmmm so much, but to answer your questions, yes, to all of the above! However,
I\'ll focus on the ending. \"Would you ever allow me to take your sweet hand, to a place where the sun kisses toes in the sand, instantly you\'d receive the respect you command, On our first fated magical night\" -YES sir! Thank you!
