Congratulations for this milestone and your happiness. your poem is beautiful and I think very similar is my poem 'eyes white holes'. I Gabe this reference because of your humble comment. Dear I think your inability is worth wisdom than my ability.
Thank you Muhammad! The same ideas can sometime strike poets who think on similar lines! I feel humbled by your humility.....!
Congrats Valsa though its late to wish you on 700th collection. Beautiful write as usual from your pen. loved it.
Thank you so much Geetha! Though late, a wish is a wish and I accept it with gratitude! Nice to see you after a fairly long interval!
Valsa always writes a wonderful poem on a Valentine day. Congrats for writing your 700th poem.
I love this enchanting and romantic write with inspired lines that are breathtaking in the beauty of your words that are so memorable, a classic love poem so exquisite! Congratulations on your 700th poem Valsa, I really enjoy reading your brilliant poems with best wishes!
Thank you Hazel for your wonderful response to my 700th poem! For me it is a milestone and your feed back is much appreciated on this occasion!
Dear Valsa, My heartiest congratulations on your number seven hundred. I remember myself reaching number 100 and then 200 and very recently 300. Each time it felt like a moment to be celebrated. Seven hundred is truly something special. In my almost 7 years on this website, there have been quite a number of breaks too. Whenever I find the time and inspiration to get back to poetry, I tend to start by visiting some of my poet friends like you. To read your poems has so often a special effect on my soul. This number 700 about those eyes is ranking surely among your many master pieces. The images and melodious verses stir something deep inside of the reader. Take a fantastic break, my friend. And come back with lots of inspiration and muse. I am sure soon we will read your number 1000. Maybe by that time, I would be able to reach 500 :)
Thank you so much Hans for your sweet wishes and words of appreciation! Let me congratulate you on drawing hoards of readers to your page and being on top of the list of outstanding poets for such a long time! Keep going!
Valsa- - - - - - - - -Stunning- - - - - - - - stunning- - - - - - stunning. You use words like they are the paint on your palette, part of a multitude of colors and hues and tints of a well-harvested box of oil paints, spread out on an elegant and rich and huge palette. Your images shimmer with richness- -your lines are embroidered with a golden glow. I enjoy reading your poems, those pieces of your soul that you share and give us flight. Congratulations to you on this being your 700th poem you have posted! ! ! Congratulations to us for getting to read 700 poems written by you! ! ! This is what is called a win- win! On another note, have you ever looked at a name and say to yourself- dang but I am glad I know this person, he/she has enriched my life so. I think your name evokes that thought in thousands of PH members.
Susan, once again I am bowled over by your comment! I loved your image of the palette and spread of oil paints. I am in love with oil painting. When I take a break from PH, it is exactly what I would do. Though I am not a great artist, painting is my hobby besides gardening. I am awed by the power of your comments and I must say, it is such comments, that make my poem lovable! Once again thanks a lot !
Every time I read your poetry, I am altered to a different world. I loved this as well. Beautiful feelings with intense lovely passion. Pristine.
Thank you Randhir! Glad to know you like my poems! Stay blessed little sister!
Aristotle called the eye the most intellectual organ of humanity. Foolish Man! He had not been witness to the sensual transcendence of your poem. This is a paen to passion, its overwhelming force, its overcoming of limitations. The opening description of the eyes is already vivid, but when you add Promethean fire, normal seeing has been raised to soul-seeing. Aristotle's materialist philosophy is left far behind. This is transcendence. CONGRATULATIONS on a stunning finale in #700. Enjoy your break: you're on a poetic plateau and deserve one.
Wow.... I am floored by your comment! You have elevated my poem to the level of effecting transcendence, eclipsing even Aristotle's notion of the power of eyes! Thank you so much for this acknowledgement, though I don't truly deserve it!
Dear friend Valsa, Firstly, my heartfelt Congratulations for your 700th poem. This is a marathon achievement. Kudos! A beautiful poem that declares Valentine love! Two eyes of oceanic depths Relaying the most intimate message I love you A fitting tribute on a lovely day weaving the silken threads of love! A huge 100+++++
Thank you so much Geeta for your lovely comment and warm greetings! To hear that 'I love you' is the greatest delight one can ever have!
What an achievement! Seven hundred quality poems that set readers thinking. Poetry of variety - sonnets, limericks and what not, musical, well-rhymed, on a wide spectrum of subjects covering humor, love and profound philosophy! Congratulations! Loved this Valentine Day poem of yours. Lovely words woven on a lovely fabric. Inimitable imagery. Great that you are able to cast your net and patiently wait looking into those shining pools, despite the fact that they have set you on a virtual conflagration. Wish you all the fish and all the best, M'm! (10)
Thank you so much Rajendran ji! We are able to appreciate each other a little more, may be because both of us are from the same state with our cultural moorings and tastes more or less similar! You have made my day with your great comment!
Passion, love, desire, and compassion all blended together in a perfect way. This is a fantastic way to celebrate, to dedicate, Valentine's Day. Well done, Valsa.
Marvelous poem of such intense beauty. In those flooding pools let me cast my fishing net. Love is an emotion of intense passion but more than that it is always a risk taking when it comes to its reprocity. That is what makes love such an appealing game. Even when one fails there is always some intense fire burning in somebody's eyes that pulls one helplessly like moth ready to burn in that fire. While all your poem talks about the charm for those firey eyes, it is the last line that sums up the nature of love. Passion, attraction, risk all so well connection with love's mysterious power. Loved the poem and I like very much your free style too. Congratulations on your 700th poem. Though each of your poem is a gen in itself.
Eyes are so expressive and in poet of your quality they bexome objects full of mysticism, beauty and power to set all the senses alight How appropriate for St Valentine's Day and your 700yth poem. It's going into my list of favourites
Thank you so much Tom.... So glad to know it will be going to your favorite poems list! A great honor for me!
Emotion is flowing from lines like a stream. love is so intense here that like to read it again and again. An ocean was stirring within Whose whirls could never again be tamed.. is the most beautiful line for me. Thanks very much for sharing and Congrats for hitting 700.

Every poem is a milestone. You have created seven hundred gems. Those eyes of oceanic depth, those eyes of electric glare, and the soul responding to their beckoning on this Valentine's day - a great image of magnificent proportions. Happy Valentine's Day.

An ocean was stirring within Whose whirls could never again be tamed In those flooding pools Let me cast my fishing net! ....................and the net brought pearls that are still shining, congrats for writing the 700th poem. It's an amazing poem.
Thank you Akhtar ji. As ever you have come up with your witty comment! I wonder if the net will contain pearls! Think if it gets filled with crabs and weeds!
It's a great 700 poem. Charged with electrifying emotion. The gaze of lover could really have a magical effect. All the magic of love can be concentrated in a pair of loving eyes. A great expression. An overwhelming write that sweeps the readers off their feet. A super 10.
