All Comments on 'Numb'

My words: sad and romantic, not so erotic, but beyond; feeling each other deep inside.

Thanks for sharing

You captured poignancy so well in this poem, it may well be my favorite.

Thank you for sharing.

WOW!!!!

Thank you for sharing this very intimate, emotional, and personal moment in your and your wife's lives. It was very moving. It brought tears to my eyes. Very POWERFUL. dd

Very very moving. More please

You describe one of those moments that, I think, are the measures and tests of real intimacy. It's emotionally raw, but it doesn't make me sorrowful because I get the sense that this is a relationship that was built to contain grief and loss. I see a portrait of two strong people experiencing a great deal of pain, together and also autonomously, as it must be. (5 stars.)

Powerful! This was so personal and raw. I appreciated the content and the gait of your delivery.

Wow ~ i think my heart just broke ~

What a heartbreaking poem, poignantly and beautifully written. As one commenter wrote, this is real intimacy.

Heartbreaking truth. Love your work!

Achingly powerful with such perfect economy of word and heart-piercing rhythm. This is beautiful reading.

Sweet.

Sometimes more can be discovered when both are still needing relief...

Their honesty can make more possible. It's worth the work & time.

So sad. To hold one's lover and feel the wounds that intimacy alone cannot heal... Heartbreaking

I thought, it won't be a lie

to tell you I did cry

reading your poem

i thought I be there too

with the two of you

the tears they fell,

not yours or hers

but silently mine too

with longing

and lonely cries

the three of us

bitterly I still cry

while I write this rhyme

My first reading of erotic poetry on here and I GOT it. Lovely heart-wrenching poem. Like a story but with the words chosen with care. Bravo!

Wow!

I'm not a poem person but I wasn't expecting that.

It's too sad and too real. My late condolences for both of you.

Hope Nancy, is all right now. Hope she is no more numb. And back to life full of vigor. Hope you two are blessed, healthy, and happy like before now.

Hugs and kisses.

😘😘💋💋

Substantial, beautiful, real love. Thank you for sharing something so vulnerable.

Love the depth here, the emotional underlay. It gives a deeper meaning to sex and the intimacy that accompanies our relationships.

Damp Kitten: This was a challenging time, with deep emotions influencing both intimacy and sexuality.

Prose in a garden: yes, vulnerable is the right word.

I am one of you: yes, we are back on schedule! Sunday Sex!

sorry for your loss.
