I love the vague references and allusions, the metaphorical array of madness and symbolism. You can certainly feel the missteps and empathize with the devastation. As with all good poetry, I can read this in several different ways.
It’s a piece that keeps calling you back, Thomas… like a final glance behind you at a beautiful woman passing by.

You’re going to seduce all the women on this site if you keep it up, Richard. What the hell are you going to do with all of us? We can’t all fit in your fucking shower.
I love a man who can write a Sonnet.

Hmmm, Dear Lady-Poet 🤔
A conundrum, M’Dear, if ever there was … but, as vibrantly imaginable as that cozy scenario is, imagination compels a creative bard to queue them all and admit 2-3 at a time; or, spend the coin for a bigger shower. I mean, anything to avoid leaving anyone out … LOL! I do like that title, though … “fucking” shower – ohhh-MY!
To be loved by You for any reason extends far beyond any response my humble words could justly reach.
Bless your darling heart … I’m thinking, “More sonnets!” ⁓ Rascal🖌

Oh-MY, right back at you, Sweet Adira!🤗
What better for a hopeful Bard than to receive the glowingly sensual approval of such a lusty femme fatale? This, I cannot answer. ; )
Aw, give those guys a chance … they feel the same, I’m sure, with You there to compel their fervorous blood to flow … even if the caresses of their words might not as vibrantly kiss your yearnings’ ache.
Ohhh-YES, Dear Poetess, repeats are always warmly welcome! ⁓ Rascal🖌

Oh, there you go, Richard. The Kyrielle volley. I don’t know that I can crank these out like you can! Wow. Very beautiful.

Thank you most warmly, Dear DK, for your gracious praise. 🥂
It is so deeply satisfying to please such a talented poetess as yourself.
There’s not a scintilla of doubt you can compose Kyrielles every bit as masterfully (if not moreso) than I ever dreamed of being able to.Give me your best shot … I’ll love it! ⁓ Richard🖌
