Love And Loss Comments

It's a lovely lovely poem evoking many thoughts and memories) Thank you for sharing it, Daniel!

Wow, this is powerful! You did a great job building us up in the first stanza and letting us down HARD in the last two. But that's what love in loss can be like sometimes, so this is very true to life in that aspect. Though it may be a little unrelated, it also speaks to the fact that many people aren't completely honest about who they are and what they want out of a relationship in the beginning. That's part of what makes the breakups so shocking - when you find out who they really are. Anyhow, this poem is masterful, you truly took us through the beating excitement of the highs and the heartbreaking sadness of the lows here. Great work~

i closely followed this narrative, daniel. in part because i've gotten to know you, i suppose, but also because you struck recognition in me with your words of being drawn close and closer to the loveliness of a woman. what a turnabout, though, in the second stanza! yikes! what was it she wanted? who was she really? better i suppose that it ended sooner rather than later. better not to be turned from being a lover of many things. -glen
