Very cute. I liked the flow of the poem.I review one for one. You reviewed me, but I am still unpacking boxes. So, I am slow returning the review. I have lots of different styles and categories, so you can poke around to find something you like. Karen

    Ouch. Cute means I have a lot of work to do. Actually, it should be yes, I have a lot of work to do. I wrote it in eight minutes, so there was no real effort. Sorry to disappoint.

    Aha, now all is revealed. sweetie pie I have written stuff
    in minutes that everyone ooh and ahhed over like I was all that. And then slaved for days over something I thought was perfection and no one wanted to read it. Fate is fickle and so is any artistic endeavor. Cute also means clever. Karen

    Aha, me thinks the lady is too smart for her own good. Thank you for the honest perspective. I worked for weeks on "For I Had Known Her". The grammar and punctuation still isn't right to me.

You have delivered a well-crafted, romantic piece. Relationships allude me; I simply no longer have the time. Thank you for sharing, my friend.
God bless,
Steve

I'm not sure, but should "shutter" be "shudder"? I really enjoyed your poem and its rhymes. Thank you for sharing this poem, and best wishes to you.

Im so glad youre not really that way! Seriously, love is probably the most wonderful feeling in the world, and yes, you do give up a part of yourself, but you also gain something. Thanks for sharing.

This poem captures the delicate balance between vulnerability and independence with striking clarity. The imagery of the heart and soul navigating an uncertain path creates a vivid sense of emotional journey. The tension between the desire for connection and the fear of losing one's autonomy is poignantly conveyed, particularly in lines like "My autonomy will be erased." The repetition of "Noooooo" at the end adds a powerful, personal touch, highlighting the speaker's deep-seated apprehension. For a touch more depth, consider expanding on how the speaker's autonomy plays a role in their emotional landscape or adding a contrasting moment of hope or resolution.

    So a poem is like a story, I should try a little harder.

Hello, Eean! I so enjoyed your free-flowing love poem. One cannot be in love without falling headlong into it. My view of love anyway.
Sending you my best today as always.
Sally :))

Haha. I detect the 'tongue in cheek' in this!
'The light of my feet
Ne'er scorched by love's heat' - very original.
Some good, natural rhyming. See - you ARE a poet.
One little observation. In your description, should it be 'aversion', as opposed 'eversion'.
Overall, I enjoyed reading. Please write more poetry :)

I quite liked this. Something different as a love poem and image also was different but relevant. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a most wonderful day.

As a young man in the early 70s I had an overwhelming crush on Florence Ballard of the Motown Group the Supremes. On a blind date I was introduced to a beautiful young woman who could easily have been MS Ballard's twin. While we were dancing she spontaneously kissed me, and I was immediately transported. I wound up marrying someone else, but a large piece of me heart will always belong to her.

I'm smiling. I cheated and read your notes before I read the poem. :)) Methinks your notes are fabricated. << vast understatement.
I enjoyed this very much.
