This one reads like a prayer Sara and it is up there with your best work. It is perfect, as perfect as an interjection in an insufficience of silence. I must always apologise for my incoherent ways but I think you know all too well that my ramblings are always a function of the effect your sad serene expression has on my soul.
absolutely wonderful Sara, the title meets the poem as would prayer a moment of superior melancholy. You have found your true element.
timing is used to great effect here, especially the last pause, that one's very beautiful.

As with all your work (I read regularly here, but rarely comment - too shy ;)) I feel really stirred by the fact that you use so little language to convey so much. Again, this poem grabs and leaves a huge impact.
What an truly unconditional offering... very powerful! I find its submissive nature has great impact, with a sensuous edge.
ReplyDeleteI like...
Glad you came ashore the island... ;)
Very intriguing poem. I like it.
ReplyDeleteEmotions stand out...
ReplyDeleteLeaves much as a gift to the reader - well done
ReplyDeleteMmm! I feel like a bit of a voyeur reading this!

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the whole poem I thought the similar sounds of please and concede were really powerful here.
