Fearful these scorching
insecurities
would incinerate a
fragile heart's connection
Yet your patience,
extinguished them

These speak a lot, a lot of intricacies that love puts us through....love how you dwelled on them..Congrats on the bronze and quit crying...lol coz I see your muse raising its sleepy head lol

Woah, this piece was really deep and gave me chills!! Very well deserving of the bronze! I liked it a lot

For someone with a dead muse you write some really potent poems.....great write...

Love the depth and message in this! (is that because your muse is 'underground'...lol!)....

nice poem to read
-
well really got me to stop and think and re-read and re-read lol. so its gotta be good (or my brains just not working harhar
)
you always produce great pieces even with a dead muse...your muse could be run over by a truck a dozen times, blown to pieces, burned to ashes and then buried 10 foot under ground with a big boulder ontop....BUT you'll STILL write great poetry and yes i was trying to be dramatic hehe

Very visual
I too rely on my lady's patience as with her patience she feeds me security and belief in myself.

Great job!
