I, too, enjoyed the smooth craftsmanship of this piece. Well-chosen words; an excellent rhyming scheme that bears the weight of the imagery easily and comfortably. You carried the extended metaphor consistently and engagingly. A very professional work of poetry. Bravo.
On a different plane! ! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Does my remorse exert a force, Inverse to troubled souls? Should I spurn the fleeting moment, For a lifetime of control; Or burn in fiery torment, As your anger takes it's toll? Wow, so nicely crafted. Every stanza is amazing and thought provoking. 10++++ and congrats for being picked POD. Subhas

The form and content are admirable. Lovely and very passionate poem embellished in poetic rhyme and rhythm. Excellent job. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing Dave and do remain blessed.
An awesome write, full of emotions and their steady flow deserving Poem of the Day. Heartiest Congratulations.
You've described your feelings in a unique way. Sometimes we experience such situations that make us feel that 'all exist in reverse'.
dave, first, i affirm the craft of this poem- it's good. on the ideas in it, it bears resemblance to my poems the bridge and on deceit, both with the same girl in mind who i treated badly. i like how you combine your confession with an exploration, if i read it correctly, of perspective in general. it appears you now realize, as i have slowly in my life, that in the lens of love is clarity, is truth. on this idea, if you're interested, please see my poem aging as ascent. i look forward to checking out more of your work. glen kappy
