Of course, the speaker's heart-issues are not yet resolved, but there is still a spiritual victory at the words' completion. SEE BOX
Hello poet friend Galina I really enjoyed this deep, mystical romantic poem. It was written from one who obviously has experienced the pain and joy of love. Nice work, Loyd
the sky flashing with light, I like it, thanks. go on.. If you so like read my poems and say something what you think.
My poetry is the candle your love has lit It is not the wax but verses are dripping down The wick is burning - I have got a bit When everything is written I will simply die- -Light of love inspires, .when it stops inspiring, life has no meaning.Wonderful poem, thanks for sharing.
