A strong sense of real loneliness and the effects it has on one, and the longing of love, nicely written and expressed

What a poem of loneliness and need for another. Some great lines. I particularly loved ( When alone, even the warm taste of divine food goes cold,
There is no song or glow without the other hand to hold.) The strong need for affiliation, unity and love come through. Very nice David

The Gazelle and the Leopard. Mrs Forlorn talks with her Psychiatrist.

A wonderful write that speaks of many things, wonderfully combined with images and meanings, needs to read more than once, each time you see something different, loved the read

A deep metaphoric meaning stares one in the face with this poem. There may be a typo at the beginning of the third stanza stork for stalk or maybe it has deeper meaning than my small mind can catch on the first two reads. This poem speaks of many relationships and how fidelity is often governed by needs for friendship not provided and ability to take care of family needs, either through sustenance or sexual. This is a poem with many metaphoric symbols from the Gazelle\'s horns to the age of the Gazelle as prey. Fidelity on either side seems most casual. Well written and to the point

Even though it was not exceptable to her she fulfilled his dying wish out of love, which says an awful lot about her being able to put aside her own thoughts and feelings to appease others, enjoyed the read

Where do we draw the line? The line of what is acceptable to us, what we accept in others? Is this line a personal thing or is it based on what we think others will think? How much of this becomes our prejudice and how much is now our value system? You provoke many questions in this poem. Acceptance can be a difficult thing. Very thought provoking

This was very moving. Her loyalty went as far as to respect his last wishes. But she also spoke her mind about her heart’s conviction, albeit after a swig of liquid confidence. 🙏🏻🕊️

This poem evokes a mixture of feelings a wistfulness, a sense of now culminating in the moment and the joy of living it greeting it as if it were a welcome visitor that can not stay but a moment but that moment is all eternity. A poem of fear met with joyfulness. Time after all is all things. Lovely

This piece to me is a mere delight to read. It so vividly speaks in a language of the birds. I always just embrace the times when all the little ones come out again to bring so many offerings to us. Saw these two red chested birds they are quite large yesterday. I was honored they picked one of the trees in my garden to rest with the trees.

David this is one of those rare poems that is both beautiful and deep in its meaning. A great use of image and metaphor it is most somber and so can be life.

For me this poem speaks of its own ways of connecting dream and reality. It is almost like a rite of its own. It is a mystery to me weather or not you are writing about the fairytales of the firebird or perhaps this is something the muses wrote. I enjoyed the read!
