Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow! In this I read the journey of a woman whose sole desire was to be loved. This desire, however, led her into a toxic relationship, symbolized by the poison tea. I have often wondered what leads one to be attracted to toxic people, but that really oversimplifies relationships and how they progress. In fact, that stands out in this poem: the progression shows how initial passion fades over time, leaving her abandoned and disillusioned. There is a sense of resignation in the final stanza, the years of pain having accumulated and hopes having been devoured by time (Chronos). This, my friend, is image-rich and a wonderful poetic expression. Loved the inclusion of Eros and Chronos too! 🌹👏

Reminds me how painful emotional wounds are, however they are caused, but words can inflict far greater damage. Best to hold that tongue in and say nothing. Wounds from rocks have a whole different meaning for me. There is much here metaphorically to contemplate. Many strong images contained in these lines. Very well penned sorenbarrett.

A word thrown of rocks is worse than any rock thrown. I always hated the phrase, \"Sticks and stones may break my bones by names will never hurt me.\" The first part of the proposition is certainly true enough; however, the last part is really not true at all. In fact, I would rather have broken bones (which heal) than emotional wounds that linger an entire lifetime. Of course, that might depend on the extent of the break in a bone...but still, emotional wounds are very hurtful...very damaging....deadly even. Anyway, this poem inspired me to think of this. Well done, my friend. 🌹👏

To be thrown off! That is quite a strong image. Makes me wonder, plummet or be carried off, and to where; be dashed on the rocks or flown to the unknowable. Very intriguing Soren… sends my poetic senses bristling! 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊

I feel words always hurt and damage more and are longer lasting if coming from a place of care, a lovely piece of writing, really enjoyed

I see so much metaphor, glass houses and stones comes to mind, sometimes things that are said are far more painful than a rock being thrown at ones head. 🌹 Wonderful imagery.

Great write sorenbarrett. Variety is the spice of life. A little of everything, not a diet of too much much happy or too much sad, that is what works best for me. Enjoyed very much your lines.

Love this metaphor! This poem reads almost as a sort of Knight in the cavern of chalices where only one is the Holy Grail and one must pick and choose carefully! (Thank you Indiana Jones). But this, truthfully, more profound because it deals with our life and the choices that can come to define it. Well done! 🌹👏
