Every line tells of a heart that is so wonderfully secure in the knowledge that it is being loved and deeply cared for by its subject all the time. Beautifully expressed in this captivating piece. Happy holidays to you and your loved ones.
This is a real gem Kate. Simplistic, but with deep feelings.

Oh my, you know what perfection you have reached here.
My pal is a literary genius.
"Every time, there is no
such language as foreign, <-----Outstanding, this say's soooo much
no such place as solitary,
no such existence as isolated." <--- beautiful and dreamy...
You're on a different stratosphere. I can see 2008 being great for you and your amazing talent....
Kate....what a write...you are getting better and better....and this calls for the celebration...cheers....your poetries are immaculate....cheers...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year....love n luck....BHUWAN!!!
He swallowed the poet to catch the poem. He swallowed the poem to catch the line; he swallowed the line to catch the word; he swallowed the word to catch the vowels-- that mouthed mellow meows till they purred on his pallet. He swallowed the vowels to catch the sounds-- But I don't know how come he swallows sounds-- It must be love.
This makes my heart soar. To be the recipient of such love is to know unconditional love. Those of us who have this are truly blessed. Thank you for your extraordinary words and insight!
Oh my Sweet Kate...to have someone think of you in such a wonderful way is truly a blessing. Your perceptions and views on writing are so important to all of us who you touch that I always look for your name on my reviews. Hope you have the most wonderful Holiday Season and know that my thoughts are definately with you sweet lady.

one sided thoughts, deeds, and actions never produce the other side of the mirror. takes two to make one reflection in life. two working to maintain the status quo within their lives as one whole. be blessed my friend.
I think we need a blotter to soak up all that sticky graphite. I only wish I had your gift for words. Exquisite write. Peace, Love and Blessings to You and Yours Always, Paul.
Love brings with it the right to belong to another... to be the other person's part of the whole. You have brought this phenomenon to life, and have introduced and described its comfort and reassurance in words seldom used in a poem. I commend and admire you for a talent that brings your vision to s,rry our needs. What a wonderful fulfillment of life's expectations, you bring to us with invaluable words of tenderness. I am proud to know you and call you, friend. - Bill
What a beloved and lucid expression of love here KB. Sometimes the most inspirational moments are as you have described in your prologue. We truly are treasures in cracked clay vessels - always needing to be filled, and always spilling out - to those around us - the beauty that we are given. Filling the heart with the spirit of the season you are. Thankyou!
Blessings ...

Okay, you flat out got my attention and held it with this explantion of cinsuming love and devotion . . . The words, although as vivid as a white-hot poker almost seems surreal as you read them . . . But this is where surrealism and reality marry and beget a pom of love which has no match . . . None . . . The poetical masters of the ages are smiling down as they read this special poem and they are nodding their heads at my humble comments . . . This goes into my library . . . Thank you . . .

a cluster of diamonds
