Unrequited love is such a common subject. However, this poem tells it well, straight to the heart. Longing and pain in one touch. Love the artwork.

Beautiful piece on the ecstasy and agony of love and loss. The presentation was lovely and the words touching. A poem all can relate to. I enjoyed the read.

Another fine poem, Gypsy....and another ode to loving a person who is unworthy of it. Why do we do it to ourselves. You'd think we'd learn but some never do

Yes, you are right. I gave up on marriage.. sometimes is better alone than in bad company.
Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words.

Dying love and dying shadows, what a great correlation. Once again, you've presented us with a fantastic presentation. The poem, the artwork, and the color combination. It doesn't get any better.

Comment from jim vecchio
It's a crime to give this anything less than six, but such as I have, I give thee. A wonderful contrast between the dying shadows and love's dying embers. As usual, crowned by a display of illustration, color, and font most of us can only marvel and envy.

Romantic but sad, Gypsy. Your usual superb imagery and beautiful choice of language make this a melancholy and gorgeous piece of verse. Well done and thank you for posting this. x

As they say , one can't find all qualities within one person, but the best qualities aren't normally with the person you are most attracted to, it would be nice, beautifully written blessings Roy

Most wonderful
Comment from lyenochka
I like how you captured the "edge" of things - from sleep and dreams to the reality of what was desired in the relationship but not possible because of the other's cheating ways. Loved the poetic phrases here.

Comment from Navada
I really enjoyed your use of imagery here, even though it depicted such a sad story. If only this experience was never inflicted on anyone. Your final line, "tangled with dying embers", summarises so much of this situation - the embers of lost burning love and the tangled, messy complications that ensue when one attempts to break free of the web while the other desperately clings on for dear life. Thank you for sharing this.

Comment from shelley kaye
as your touch
echo <-- i think this is supposed to be plural (your touch echoes)
other than that, this was a wonderfully sad bittersweet poem with great imagery and smooth flow
thank you for sharing
