Great write... the power in any relationship can become god-like or goddess-like... making the pain of separation so much more intense

Felix, you could make some woman sublimely happy with this piece - I feel deep down this is how all women want to be revered by their man! And for those of us steeped in the Pagan culture of ancient times - that's how it should be! (grin) Very achingly well done! Oh, that all love be reciprocated...

Oooo this is soo painful!!! It is difficult for both parties if one makes the other to be the object of their admiration, perhaps, to the extent that their view of them becomes an idealisation, setting them on some lofty and distant pinnacle that is not of his/her own choice or making. I would think that this kind of passion "in extremis" that you paint so poignantly here is the reason why many relationships ultimately become like dashed altars - on account of making a religion out of what should instead be a mutual relationship of a truth in spirit that is born out of reality. "Now I kneel at the alter of her sacred heart / I thought I could imprison her love with mine" - such an honest but desperate realisation. Well-penned as always, Felix. There is such depth to your soul. TY Kate xx

It is true that often we don't appreciate what we have until it is taken from us. I think this is particularly true where our partners are concerned. As the years pass, we scarcely realize how much they mean to us and how much their very presence does for the well being of our spirit. It is the worst type of lonliness when we realize that it is our own actions that have banished us to that solitary place.
Take care,
Sherry
