You know, for a third language, you do all right. (corr buds/butts) I found this very easy to read and want to hear more from you. Flesh and fluids... excellent imagery. Any way I can help you with the English language I would be happy to do so. I have a low academic record and am thus still able to communicate person to person.

Yes, a typical night for a lot of young people out there, looking for a quick fix or a rush in the middle of the night. Nice ink: -)

Well... Your title peaked my curiosity and caught my attention. The poem is well written first off. The opening stanza left me puzzled and curious... Wanting to read on... Flickering lights, melting wax and broken hearts... a heated yet empty romantic encounter? You reflect on the fact that these empty sexual encounters happen with young people all the time and you beautifully describe the couple together... But keep inserting dissonant words like bony, blank, languid... And there's the flesh and fluids exchanged... Is that it? No feelings, no love, no hugs? She finishes and stares up blankly at the ceiling.... This is quite different from your description of the woman in the green dress looking up... Which emphasizes even more, the earthiness, the despair of the couple lacking heaven or soul in their union. Well done Souren!

Flesh and fluids.... the title is quite catchy! But such encounters will only end up in an increased sense of fatigue in the hearts! I am reminded of a Wasteland scene......... also of the sordid images in Eliot's Preludes..... 'the dirty laundry' and the 'soiled hands' go hand in hand! Great write!

Thank you very much ma'am... And ya, T. S. Eliot is perhaps the most amazing poet I have read, so this is a huge, huge compliment for me... Thank you.. Thank you a lot...
