Thank you so much Damian. Your words here are deeply appreciated. My muse for this poem is in her fifties but ageless and timeless as a Goddess. Much gratitude.

Thanks so much Visions. Much of the credit goes to my muse, a woman who has inspired me for many years. Her fifty-something beauty if ageless and timeless.

Thanks so much Steven. Am honored by your words on my poem. Really heartening to read them. Very glad you find my poetry interesting. Really makes my day. Love that this poem in particular represented great Romanticism for you. That is what I was trying for. Glad you enjoyed.

OMG, I had never heard that song either until that competition. I wrote something for it too, but it sucked. Thank God you came to get me, Sam. You do realize that I’m not wearing a damn thing under this raincoat, right?

So many thoughts…there’s a strong sense of “emptying into another” when there’s intimacy & deep connection. A sharing beyond physical. That’s where those words take me anyway

Are you sure you’re watching the uninterrupted blue sky ?!…
Sometimes thoughts come to us when we least expect them.. that’s the definition of a poet-

It’s in the stillness and silence where poets find the words but I’m no poet…..not yet anyway.
Thanks for reading Sam and Willow
