A wonderful poem. 'Swimming in the warm pools of love, The skies of the past are changing back to blue And the untamed monsters give a standing ovation For the acceptance and passion that is being with you' - Loved the concluding lines, very poetic. Also loved the comment of @Mihaela Pirjol.

What a wonderful poem this is and I quote few of my favourite lines: 100/10 On the trail of no surrender, The arrows of destruction had been fired, Now we have found each other swept up on the banks

(cont.) a favorite line: Of scars healing in the rain sodden streets..esp. for the alliterations Carlow is the county town of County Carlow, in the south-east of Ireland a Poet's Notes would help us who don't know Ireland and don't read between the lines well, but i enjoyed the first reading and will zoom through it again.

(cont.) I guess people CAN be both 'significant' & 'insignificant' re different parts of their selves and their lives. “Wilful” was once the only common spelling (and still remains the dominant spelling in British English, again according to Google Ngrams) . But then things changed, and now “willful” is considerably more common (cont.)

from stanza 2 to stanza 3 you switched from present tense verb forms to past tense verb forms. i think i sometimes accept such writing; i'm not sure here. i'm liking this though it may make Bri, me, think TOO MUCH. ha ha. it seems to flow like a river! (cont.)

Strong Love. Not destroyed by storms and darkness. The true power of unconditional love. I love this wonderful poem, very touching and also thought provoking.

I love the emotional intensity of this poem! I love the imagery, and the force of hope, which only can be felt after a profound suffering! Absolutely wonderful!

Ovation from the animal instincts of men cannot be ignored. Man is a compound of soul and body and both have their own needs. Love is a relationship of soul and body both. Great thoughtful poem.
