Light and shadow! ! Muse, Power and strength. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
'a barely-there touch', 'as soft as silken sin', ... lovely expressions indeed, ... in response i would say were it no worth life would lose its worth and all its mirth...
Love your comments - they are astute and poetic and I enjoy reading them! ! !
The message is well expressed in this poem, dear Ma’am Susan.....10+++
Hi Susan. He lights candle and keeps shadows living, in the boundary of the room and inner-self. while delivering light and voice not eliminating silence and darkness. beautiful piece of work. beautiful being untold.
Was it worth it? I read in your poem a doomed love over shadowed by togetherness in doses of small crumbs of time, each minute spent as stolen moments that become more precious as parting hour comes. And when the two meet again, the cycle of question begins once more: Is it worth it? These crumbs of time? 10+
Thank you! ! ! I always appreciate it when a reader feels the doom-filled atmosphere of this piece
The poem keeps you in suspense making you feel uneasy throughout the poem. The ending is really good as the candle is list casting light and shadow which says there is something else going on in the relationship. A very touching piece of work Susan...and to my favorites!
It pleases me so much that you were caught up in the suspense of the write! ! ! Thank you! ! ! And thank you for adding it to your fav list, my dear!
Crayon Poet! ThaNK you! ! ! I was trying for is- this- malicious ambivalence! ! ! .
Thank you very much, Belle, for your very generous comment and placement on your fav list
Smoldering vibes with no clearly defined purpose are illuminated by the amber glow of one candle... Provocative!
An ominous energy moves through the words as I read it, instead of a prelude to passion theirs menacing overtones that make it not quite what it seems. The recurring line, that is the title of the poem makes me feel there is a questionable aspect of this relationship. Instead of love I read guilt. A complex piece Susan, thoughtful in the dynamics of human interaction. So glad to read this! .
You saw the underneaths of this- -thank you! ! ! Menacing was exactly the right word to use. I wanted the reader to feel increasingly uneasy and not really be able to pin it to a certain line Thank you so much for feeling this poem and enjoying the experience, Kevin
Very sensuous poem with an intriguing question which sparks the imagination. One of your best, Sue and definitely in my favourites' list
Yes! ! ! Tom, you always get me even when I try a short story mystery poem on to see if I can intrigue and set a threatening atmosphere out of what might seem innocuous at first. Thank you thank you thank you for reading me, Tom
Was it worth it? he asked, watching the candlelight flickering over her soft skin casting her with light and shadow so touching and impressive. A beautiful poem is incisively delineated and amazingly shared. Thanks for sharing. .
Danger? Usually the woman is in physical danger from a man. Not always, of course. Some women set the bed on fire whilst he is sleeping.
