I think Daniel has summarised my feelings about your poem. It is a truly remarkable poem, much to my taste and I shall include it in my favourites. Can love become that other Eden? Yes, I do believe so. Hold on to that star lace, Nika. It is your magic wand.
WOW Nika, this has to be one of your most beautiful poems, not just in its poetic details - images, rhythms, perfect diction - but also in its poetic vision. You create the most wonderful rapport between two people which is so unexpected, so different from our vexed existence, that the woman doesn't recognize them or the world. This is the kind of imaginative poem which expresses our longing for a return to the lost garden. And when we realize that cannot happen, we endeavor to create a paradise out of a human love that two people are absolutely committed to make real. And it is that ideal that your poem realizes in words and hope. What a breathtaking gift of the poem you have brought us.
Write comment. Imagination, Nika. You may like to read my poem, Love and Lust. Thanks
WoW indeed! ! ! Such a beautiful original poetic voice here. Star-Lace is a jewel, an absolute jewel replete with passion, imagination, heart-ache, wistfulness, both metaphysical and astronomical. 10++
