la nuit ardente



we lie together


smokey breath tickling my neck





you pant in my ear


                      "soften the lens"






____







lost in gray


we mistake this
for gentleness






____







here

without light


we hide this picture
of twisted steaming
wreckage

beneath the sighs






____







my sorrow
sticks
to every part of you

and you call it love

    really love this one. i love the simplicity of the lines
    which creates stronger lines--

    second and fourth are your strongest vignettes

    on fourth i wonder about
    sticks to
    rather than is stuck to

    small point.. good poem.. great dynamics

    very beautiful, nice finisher

  • I loved it all, strong and powerful...

    and the last stanza is great, but I almost think it would be more powerful without that final line.

    What did Cat ask for...? "...subtlety,softness...?"

    Yup, this is it!

  • Wow, this read like a natural conversation and conveyed subtleness.

    Loved this,
    All the best,
