Hello,

While just clicking on one of your poems not knowing what I was up or in for strangely enough just today I made a similar poem. Not that the two poems are the same but they could connect. My poem is written from a very different personal perspective. YES I know this veiled figure or veiled lady. I have had encounters with this lady myself. Hence the topics I will not start to make any assumptions on this poem just letting the voices within the voids wash over like waves or winds. You have expressed much here in and between these lines. Thanks for sharing!

Hello,

From start to finish I was glued to my screen. Each stanza giving new ways into interweaving natural images together with human images. All varieties of tone season life lines family lines etc. And then again how interwoven is all of this as per today. How much nature do we have left within us as humans. A world of tranquil weather suits the summary well. You have a gifted pen! Much enjoyed the read. Greetings and blessings

One large metaphor broken into several component pieces this poem is quite deep in its meaning that upon first reading is obscure and rather cryptic. Sad and hopeless in its initial tone it speaks of alienation. This poem seems to end in darkness. Very well written

\"Is this just an illusion of a dance? / Just two shadows flickering together.\" Powerful poem with quite a grabbing title. Brilliant, my friend. Well done! πŸŒΉπŸ‘

August is accused of murdering a child.
Poetic Licence said:

I have known people who until their dying breath will depend their kin no matter what heinous crime they have done, it is not something I understand and it is loyal,but I am not sure it is love and to the benifit of the person commiting the crime or the denier, enjoyable and very interesting read

How much does love override? In fact, what is love? Is it faith, loyalty, passion, kindness? All questions that seem up for grab in this poem. Lovely

A lovely of not appreciating things at the time, with a great last line

The Days of Milk and Marmalade.
sorenbarrett said:

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!

Friendship said:

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.

Rachel tries to burn the past.
sorenbarrett said:

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
