David this is a gem. It\'s beauty is in its subtlety and I had to read it three times before It sank through my thick skull the total meaning that I could only feel but not grasp. This is a thoughtful poem for those wounded in love that has moved on to better pickings. A fave

What a lovely story, like a fairy tale and so very well written with a perfect ending. Endearing and imaginative. Well done indeed.
All the best,
Tony.

As I read this poem I had a Deja vu moment and it seems quite familiar. A great story nicely written David.

That is a wonderful read, like a short story beautifully crafted. I was a bit worried by the title as here that means something a bit more adult, enjoyed the read

This poetic story is so filled with metaphor and layered metaphor that one might take it many ways. It holds profoundly deep meaning for me on a personal, interpersonal and societal level. Here one dives deep into the psyche where guilt begins and swims the ocean of despair one is pounded on the sharp rocks of remorse and finds sanctuary in the rock walls of isolation. It is a masterful work of art revealing the inner workings of the mind in metaphor. A fave

Quite the devils call in this poem. All that we find abominable we dump on old Nick\'s back why people need scape goats I\'m not sure but this write puts a burden of the back of Old Scratch. A fun read

This poem is skillfully told and written, much tender trails among these lines. Such is a quest for love be it human love companionship or otherly love even divine love. In a certain way I felt that you made a version of Rumi poems but then an original concept from your own personal perspective and artistic view
Truly enjoyed this beautiful soulful piece, ty for sharing!

At times the fourth table can be the barest of all but on certain times and moments it can be the fullest as well. Just realising it is similar with all the other tables. haha... makes me feel delusional sometimes. 🕊️🙏🏻

I am glad you have your health after sitting at the first three tables. A life begun in fear is a difficult one. Well written

\"At sunset, when night crawls to the edge of the nest.\" - hard to forget. Something beautiful yet somber pervades each line. Something which promises to be less than fleeting

David this one is subtle and must be read aloud to be appreciated. The rhyme scheme itself is complex and unconventional but works so well with the message. The metaphor is deeper than surface view. It holds a philosophical meaning and emotionally can be felt with a bit of sorrow. A definite fave
