Hello justafan, An ooh-la-la poem for sure. It must be springtime. Of note:
Where passion meets a friend
Confusion ensues
(When friend returns passion ...
romance begins
and more confusion ensues - lol)
A poem to ponder and a subject matter that many can/will relate. Beautiful complementary artwork choice ~ I like the mysterious, coy veil covering.
Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

This is the important question about going the next step. If it is true friendship and true love both can coexist.
I like the format of the poem. Each side of the question is on one margin and the answer is in the middle to show love is the center of everything.
Keep writing.

Hi justafa. I sense a warning in your poem to tread cautiously Instead of jumping in feet first especially if it is a friend and maybe one sided feeling..This poem was written very well and I liked you creative presentation, a complimentary image to your words Cheers Christine

Comment from royowen
For a moment's enjoyment can cause a lifetime of heartbreak possibly for many many people, is it worth it, of course not, it's human to be tempted, but stupid to step across that line, unfortunately it appears to be at epidemic proportions. Well done, well expressed free verse, wise and well written, well done, blessings, Roy

Comment from mfowler
After the initial verses, I thought, this gal's weighing up the damage an illicit affair with a friend might do. And in the end you trumped me. Your voice decides to roll with the dice. This is an excellent idea and I think you've nailed it. Loved the hypothetical questions that you use to set up the final choice. That's exactly what someone would think. I haven't got any suggestions for you this time. I have a sixer instead. Loved it.
Question: Now we've both done a sensuous free verse in the last couple of days, would you like to match me with a sensuous poem that tackles 'love on the internet'? After my son lost his girlfriend to suicide, he found a new girlfriend in an online chat room talking about suicide. They got together very quickly and lived together for the next six years. They've just broken up, so I'm not sure what to think. Anyways, if you like the idea, let me know and we'll work out something.

Hah, can you see my hand help up high from your vantage point, Missy?
Look real hard... very closely...THERE! Can ya' see it?
Yeah, I've crossed that "line" a time or two and managed to live to tell about it.
But is love worth the gamble? Or, is not knowing better--never taking that risk?
I dunno...
Great poem, very expressive and well presented. Food for thought, I should think...

Always a pleasure, Missy. ;}

I had thought you didn't love me anymore...with the lateness of your review...but all is well in my wee heart now :)

Nah, you know better than that, right?
I'm just really way behind, Missy. Actually,
buried under is probably a much better description, LOL.
I'll try to do better in the future...

Hi Justafan:
The answer has to be probably as many that have taken that chance and built something amazing with that person. Twenty five years later, I can emphatically say that I'm happy I did. :)
Your poem is beautiful and the artwork is amazing! Good luck on all your future endeavors!

A beautifully written poem of love and being brave enough to take a chance. I think it's especially fine if the lover is a good friend, too. Presentation is perfect to accompany your poem. Marilyn

That's the Missy I'm talkin' 'bout.
It's a tantalizing line that you are apparently dancing along. Sounds like you've put just a bit of thought into it...

I've found myself in this situation way too often. I think it stems from making the WRONG DAMN initial decision. HAHAHAHA!!!! I should've married my first wife's sister, yep, the straight one. LOL It just goes on from there. It's fun being in the situation anyway, isn't it? mikey
