Dancing Comments

Rigid denials carved reflections in the floor

Tussled hair and sweat soaked shirts
Throwing caution to the wind

I love this too much. I have probably read it five times, just never had the time to comment on it- beautiful meaning, beautiful words, keep writing! ! !

I'm following out Tara's comments, on her page, to find some new poets. (a compliment to her taste) . I tell you, some of your lines here contain as much passion as I've ever seen in a line of poetry...like the tail of a lion or a leopard, used as a whip, the speed of light! The lines really lash me! And 'fall through every precipice you leave behind'...that is magnificent. So is 'your eyes leak sonnets'... Your writing, for me, is dense and not every line is immediately accessible to me, but when I made the commitment to read through this one, I felt rewarded by the thrills of language harnessed like a wild beast. This piece is a portrait of-what shall I call it-obsession? That's too unkind a label, I think. Anyway, I've never read anything that so well puts in language this degree of passion for another person...not in anthologies or surveys of English literature, even!
