Ah yes. I am being empowered even as I write by someone who opens my eyes to the real world. A great "strong woman" write!

A very sensual poem and just like what I feel when he is not around... J

There's something about this I find sort of amusing, even though the tone is calm. I particularly like the phrase "bare numbers", but I can say that this poem is highly unusual and not what I would have expected with that title!

Lovely flow to this lovely ode to a fluid entity!
Wonderful!

Very pretty this, and I *love* the title, as well as the thought behind it. True friends really are the gems of life. Beautiful!

Your poem is certainly full of the fire element. Twice in my life I have seen burn-out however. Still, while alive, hope remains.
It was an enthusiastic write.

In deference to this beautiful write, I must say I feel the same feelings. Getting close to belonging, only to find out it's snatched away and leaving you longing again. And don't we really wonder if saying it jinxes our chances?
Think I will bookmark this one. Lovely.

I agree with you, but for other reasons. I joined several sites where the front door is like a bulletin board - everything posted that day runs down the front page, rather like here. Other sites only put the last poem posted by your "favorites" on your front page, placing all the posted poems in another area.
Over time I've learned one simple fact - the more you post at one time, the fewer the comments you will get on each one, because no one is going to read ALL your poems you have posted in one day (unless they are a good friend or loved one).
Another point is that if you post the same poem on lots of sites, you will get altogether fewer reads because let's face it - the comments are coming from other poets, who may be on many of the same sites. They'll skip over titles they have read elsewhere.
The newbie always gets attention, but after that you have to give it to get it!
Very interesting and informative post.

Yes, this makes a lot of sense. There will always be those who don't bother to look. Your poem makes its point.

Good point made with this poem! I dunno why people are that way. I do like the style of drawing out the opposites of positive and negative. Well done!

reminding me of some moments past, though i was the one that cried. This is beautifully plain-spoken. Lovely.

yes I like this. The question "can you see me" does go through certain minds at certain times. "red nose around your neck" threw me a bit, but when I see you have written with other unexpected words together, I must assume it was on purpose. An interesting read.

I both remember and savor it. So lovely, and with more it needn't burn out either.
Beautifully put.
