A lovely write David such a nice set of images that most can relate to and their clear representation of conflict and lack of appreciation at the time. The last line puts the stake through the heart, shamefully reminding us all that we should appreciate each day as it comes. Brilliant!

Well written, your poem aims to convey the complexity of love and loss, highlighting the unexpressed emotions that can linger even after a partner\'s passing. It captures the struggle of reconciling memories with feelings of anger and regret, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of love.

This is a wonderful poem that can be taken in more than one way. I love that. Too often we rely on words when actions should speak louder, on the other hand the act of telling someone what we feel is most important and the moment can escape as a missed opportunity. Should she have opened her eyes and seen love without words or should he have opened his mouth and spoken what his heart told him or should she have placed so much value on words all questions evoked by the poem. Very nicely said David

A poem that emphasizes that we all have a part and place. Nicely written David. In unity may we all find our place and work together.

The confession of Liam Whitacker.
sorenbarrett said:
A rather severe penalty for a distant minor offence already paid for. And a judgement by given by a servant to God that should follow the scripture to judge not that judgement is God\'s alone. Now I have to be very careful not to judge this poem. Oh what the hell I thought it very well done with a great moral to not confess anything to anyone, just yourself.

Ah and there we have gateway religion, scaling the fish even before their caught. And as the saying goes; “all’s well that ends well…” in this case obviously not. 🙏🏻🕊

This poem speaks to me with various meanings I hear it first as pertaining to immediate desires but lastly to the desire to leave this life free and return to the place of birth just as a pearl to the sea. It calls with a siren voice and the cascading words from stanza to stanza resemble waves on the sea returning one after another hypnotically calling. This one is a fave

This poem in its form seems classical in nature and narrative nature as well as wording. It is lyrical and the story seems to be almost Authorial. Mournful yet peaceful in nature it flows well and with rhyme. An enjoyable piece to read.
