What I love about your poetry is I can look at it from so many different perspectives. While that may be true of a lot of poetry, it's especially true (at least for me) when I read your work. This first left me thinking, what the heck (honestly didn't use think that word). Then it reminded me of two people coming together, falling in love and lust, while sharing each other's pain. While I am probably off by a mile, that's what I got out of it tonight. Or, well, see, they could also be weeping in joy. See? There goes that other perspective again!

God.. I don't know what to say. In such short punchy lines you describe an amazing connection and detachment. I don't often feel another's work so deeply. You make me want to stop writing due to the feeling that I could never explain a thought so well. I feel this piece very strongly. It struck a major cord in me.
Great piece.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
