Very nice. These lines here, in my humble opinion, are the best:
"you took a piece of me with you
and i envy that piece of myself."
and
"i got lost in your deep blue green eyes
and that part of me that was lost in them felt found."
I like the rest, in general, but I'm left wondering if there isn't a way to condense the poem around these two ideas (since they are so powerful).
You are absolutely right. I'll leave this poem how it is, because it's a vivid memory of a dream I had. However, I'm definitely inspired to write a new poem based on what you have pointed out. I have thought much the same when I've read over it before, but hadn't been able to put the feelings into words. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment, I appreciate it. :)
Thank you for adding these poems. I have read all of them now, including the ones in Erotic Poetry - which I tend to avoid as graphic descriptions of sex in verse seldom appeal. You have a great touch with all of these (including the sex ones) but this is my favourite.
Tsotha may be right about the best lines but I like them within the overall context.
Do please enter some more - if only to save them from deletion
Thank you so much for reading what I write and taking the time to comment!
I've already moved all of the erotic stuff so it won't get deleted, but maybe I'll move the general poetry over too. I have several poems in pending right now, grr.
I wasn't sure that many people read those sorts of things, this being an erotic literature site and all :D
Thanks again, <3
