This was a beautiful tanka, Gypsy. I loved the dual pictures-the one of the fantastic couple about to kiss. The love they shared was truly tangled in the stardust. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

Another fine poem, Gypsy--and by 'tantric' love, does that mean at right angles? That sounds painful indeed----err----got the wrong definition, never mind!

Yes. Blue Moon is coming and I love this romantic Tanka. It must feel good to write a book of romantic poetry. I can't wait to see your book and I will buy one.

Well done.

Hi Gypsy, your poem is filled with vivid imagery. I'm sure that many people write poems or love letters while their loved ones sleep, especially if they are far. Of special note:

I'll be writing love poems
beneath the blue moon -

(And maybe feeling a little bit blue too???)

Beautiful presentation. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing. Xo. M

What a beautiful poem. The thought of someone writing poems about you while you sleep is so romantic. Now, if they are staring at you while you sleep and writing, that's a tad creepy. Another wonderful poem. Gretchen

Hahaha... no, they are apart, not in same room. That's really creepy. Did you watch a movie called, Twilight? It's about a vampire that falls in love with a human girl and he watched her sleep every night... creepy.

Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words.

Thanks for the meaning of "tantric" - I found out it's also a yoga pose. I especially loved the last two lines:
"tangled in thoughts of our
tantric love veiled by stardust"
and your mentioning the blue moon!
