Gotta luv Sage!! So Earl Grey is practising Safe Poetry?! Paris and Helen are alright tonight??!! :)) And "Safe" your poetry is for certain sure... as Dawn has highlighted beneath, "safe" in the wonderful open-endedness of interpretation, the glorious ambiguity of intention, the tantalising question of the universal or personal in terms of its direction. I love the heights and depths contained within each stanza here: roots and space; deity and humanity; dreams and reality... culminating in the fulfillment and harmony of all things in the intimacy of togetherness. There is a confidence expressed here that might be deemed coercive... but I think, rather, that it is simply that you know your receptive audience well, Jude; understanding the nature of those whose hearts and minds you penetrate with ease: for some, "sexy" is bound up in the material things in life; for others - and probably ESPECIALLY for poets - the Open Door comes with intellectual stimulation, the cerebral massage, the spiritual, creative and chemical exhange of energies. Taking, as I have, these last two poems together, they are like a pair of pearl earrings gifted to a Beloved; Biblically, whatever or whoever "pierces your ear" has you, so to speak. I think you amply demonstrate with this mind-blowing poetic serenade that, for us, it is spiritual enlightenment which causes us to "hear and respond".... if this is for Entrees, can't wait for Dessert!! SWEEEEEEETT!! :)) LOL K xx
it's that easy for you, huh? really, there's no need for allusions, declarations and announcements, 'cause she/we/I taste your sweet imaginings in the aura of every poem you breathe, Jude.

Your linear romantic poems are unique in themselves, and your intuitive juxtaposition of words takes the breath away
