Andy, it works for me. There lies herein the maturity of a tenured lover and poet my friend. You have expressed the emotion perfectly and with great passion. May love and peace be with you always my friend. Jon Michael

A lovely ode to a cherished one; thank you for sharing, Andy. Love and peace,

I tried to duck this one Andy....but Joyce is right on point. Pure and beautiful! Keep on writing!

Work????? It is a perfect beauty, Andy.

It works.

Is anything more inspiring than a naked woman ? Well penned, Andy

Terrific last stanza infused with the lush sentiment preceeding - very, very nice.

A WONDERFUL WORK...PURE AND BEAUTIFUL. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE AND BLESSINGS, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

That's the difference love makes! You are a true romantic Andy and the poem is lovely.

Wow! I have to tell you how well this works! Beautifully romantic poetry, my friend!

Oh my....beautiful writng Andy..nice to read you again..take care ..Hugsssss

?Hear that?? "No question: it works" - and then some! This is such a "perfect utterance" that is seems vaguely familiar, as so it should: a classic of all time, if ever there was one. The pitch, balance and emotion are breathtaking. Not one word out of place or wasted. This is a work of crystal clarity, where heart, mind and spirit are brought into an aligned epiphanic instant. This is revelation's pure work. Hallowed words which create hallowed space around them. Complete.

I have to keep re-reading that final stanza. As you say "not sure that this works", are you aware of how naturally brilliant that unseen pause is between the second and third line? Ponder it: it is natural to you and much of your work. An innate poetical device where you link thoughts in this seamless manner without all the clutter of syntax. This is a gift and a strength - work it! :)) xx
