All Comments on 'Thoughts On Meeting An Old Lover'

"between scenes where the world moves

to black and back in a blink."

the feel and the wording is immediately imprinted.

Thanks for this morning's gift.

which really captures that "get me out of here and let me leave on a good note" experience of running into an old lover. There's a nice poetic tension between words like "blink," "melt," and "fade," which each suggest different aspects of "end." I wasn't sure about "Que," shouldn't it be "Cue"? Maybe I'm missing something. But anyway, a real pleasure to read this one. Your poem has been recommended in the New Poems Review thread on Literotica's Poetry Feedback and Discussion forum.

Yes, a real pleasure with no distractions.

Meeting an old lover -- or communicating with one through email. I can relate. The first two stanzas completely spoke to me. The poem is clean, no clutter, simple, and elegant.

I'm in agreement with the other reviewers; this is spare, vivid and poignant in all the right ways. One tiny quibble: I think the word is "cue" rather than "que". Other than that, this is quite perfect.
