This is amazing...what else is there to say?

The bed is a pyre which has consumed us Rachel Ann Butler

aww George a younger turk could never handle it and elucidate with such finesse..experience carries the moment and brings it all to such artful conclusions...only a poet like yourself can immortalize their lovers :) tom

Tremendous imagery and beautiful flow of words. While reading the poem, throughout I could see an ardent lover singing a love song with a smile on his face; looking at his love.......beautiful indeed.

The imagery in this is electric; bodies we''ve never really seen before, bed as a pyre. I love it, like in this one, when the feeling is, something HAS us- we are not exactly the free agents every moment as described in old yellowed documents.

stuff like this is what makes you a great poet you are worth reading

Nice piece there. I felt like it deserved a 10 from me. I appreciate the endearing feel I got from it. Thanks.

George...the post 50 love poems that are not about unrequited love are the best, and this is a good one. Nice concluding line.

Dear George: I love this poem! It captures the feeling so elegantly and precisely. Beautifully written! (10 from me.) Hugh
