She was a visual feast, another Helen,
and we loved with an incandescent love
so that even the gods wept and wished to be mortal.

I've been browsing through your poems and feeling I should comment fulsomely on every one. You are certainly a consummately skilled poet and a deep and emotional thinker. I can't resist any more and I must comment on this beautiful piece - so heartfelt and yet unsentimental, sensual and loving, and in the end so moving. I shall read all of the work you publish on here.

A wonderful poem. The manifestation of love is described very effectively. I feel you should bring out your poem collection in book form.

So that even the gods wish to be mortal.... an superb expression of deep love. I truly admired this work. The connections with Helen and with Annabel Lee, make it all the more poignant, connecting it with deep currents of our culture. The reader is swept up into your love - and loss. Heartfelt, wise, and beautiful. - Will

When there is birth, there is death. In between this, the life experiences whatever it wants. Love begets love and hatred begets hatred. This is a lovely poem, though it has a tragic finish at the end.
