Just beautiful Ernestine, it's right up there with the very best poems I've ever read. Love, Andrew xx

I will tread carefully when reading this so as not to break the something fragile and beautiful under my clumsy feet, love duncan

Tender, Subtle, Breathtaking I couldnt agree more with Slimboydim. The tone and dynamics of the poem are spot on, and conjure up that feeling when you first get into a relationship after youve become a war veteran of the previous ones, so soft and fragile. One of my favourites on this site from other poets xxx

Such a tender and sensitive poem. This is beautifully written and an absolute pleasure to read. I enjoyed your poem, thanks for sharing. Kindest Regards Slim. x.

Very delicate poem, Ernestine, the lines speak softly like the speaker's sensible, delicate heart itself. Very good use of parallelism, since the parallel structures in the three stanzas give the poem a smooth flow & help to emphasize the repeated pleas of the speaker to her lover to 'tread, ' 'speak, ' & finally to 'touch' her heart. The poem sounds honest & sincere. It shows great sensibility & tenderness-a great capacity to give & trust. Very good work.

Ernestine this is so touching. Just wonderful! I wish everyone could read this......beautiful. Sincerely, Mary

Spectacular verse about loss, suffering and renewal. Beautifully written conveying skill and grace. Perfection.

A lot of thought went into this one Ernestine, Very Nice dave xxxx
