Not sure if you have spelt Promise like this on purpose, but I thought I'd mention it. When we love like this we are enjoying the closeness that we become very forgiving and sometimes lose our self respect when someone cheats on us, a moving write, love Dolly x

Starting a new romance and dealing with other relationships can be hard to overcome sometimes, this is an excellent read as I can also imagine that someone or both have had affairs, (diming-dimming) very well written and presented****kahpot

You captured the yearning for that romantic tenderness so well. The narrator remembers the romances she treasured and wishes to re-kindle that feeling even if the other has to pretend.

Spelling:
amidst straits in diming light (dimming)

The request for comfort and the sharing of a romantic moment is conveyed poetically in your words. Pretence covers the hurt of loss when dreams dwindle and die.

I loved this erotically charged tanka series about love, lust, memories, desires, dreams, all wrapped together in a fine erotically charged set of interlocking Tanka verses.

The ending is like the last breath of a haltering rose-
dreams dwindle and die,
sometimes...for some of us --
all we have left
is remembrance of romance
amidst straits in diming light

I guess a shadow that reminds of what could be is better than nothing ar all, a cuddle is love's expression, it gives that contact we always crave. Whatever age we are. Beautifully written my friend, well done, blessings Roy

Another fine poem, Gypsy----although in reality I could never do what the author did; loyalty is everything to e when it comes to matters of the heart, and once she crosses the line on fidelity, that's it for me
