An interesting poem- leading hall of metaphors -from the sky looking a the middays moon in the blue sky -down through the clouds- where earth looses its axis crying crystal tears that are meant to be diamonds- but our love will never turn to embers- good stuff- I want some lol

Hi Gypsy,
another Gypsy special... words that float in the air to be tasted, savoured and then digested.

I found my eyes wanting to return to the page and like nourishing-tasty food you hope has one more bite left in it... i read through again. each time getting to the conclusion and stalling on the last two lines... no, not because it confused, or any other problem, but because the words drew me in and held me there.

Outstanding presentation and composition. You my Gypsy are definitely the Queen of short form.

'Crying crystals tears meant to be diamonds.

But the flames of our love
will never turn to embers.'
Beautiful!

With our thoughts we create...
eternal commitment.

Kind regards,
James.

Sigh. Darn it all Gypsy, you do have the proverbial way with words!

I need a new thesaurus of superlatives for your work!

Each poem is a journey, and each journey is so artistically presented I'm breathless!

Very nice use of imagery to express the endurance and resilience of the love of the lover and the beloved. I loved the flow of the poem from clouds, to losing the earth's axis, to love's embers never dying. Well done.

I felt like I've journeyed from the sky where the ethereal clouds are down into the core of the Earth where the diamonds are being formed. It's a good way to describe true and lasting love.
