A Poet's Love Expression is its own companion, a kind of friend, and so, come evening I choose a restaurant where the management has had the good sense to place a candle on a white table cloth. Both seem hesitant, both depend on waiting. I feel content until the door opens and the flame responds to air currents, leaving me alone, scribbling on a paper napkin, a virgin to the meaning. RMW |

That first apprehensive breath, as love enters...fuels indeed the candles flame. Loved this, TD |

My imagination tells me to step back and forward, to center this poem in a different senario.. Perhaps a someone else was supposed to come to this romantic dinner...that you did not make this date with your muse alone...perhaps in the aftermath, the scribbling on the paper was an afterthought? The words coming under the stress of rejection... Not that the poem does not stand very well on its own accord, I enjoyed it as it is...it's just that sometimes my mind wanders when I read a good poem... -----------ice/ford ><> |
