The last lines of your poem touched me especially..so heart-dissolving and tender in general. Thanks for sharing, Sonya. Yelena M.

With the passing of time does it heal The wound in my heart From when you accidentally touched And burned me in the dark One night, one sweet sweet night A long long time ago HEARTFELT! FINE WORDING! 10+

very nice...that no mans land...falling in and out, empty and full...history so hot it's memory smolders beneath the ashes of today, keeping the promise of heat alive. Many long term relationships know this song. well written - thank you

hey sis, i shared this on tweeter and facebook. you're so talented! kisses! L ;)

I like this one, I think the rhyme works better than some of your rhymed poems, and I have read it several times and can't quite figure out why. Usually when rhyme are put on the ends of irregular length lines and the pattern of rhyming is an irregular pattern, or non-pattern, I don't care for it. But this one simply works for me. I thought the pain was love-sickness and for this the healing is just time, I guess. Nothing at all like the pain in the other poem, in my opinion.

A strong poem; but a bit too many 'of's' for my liking. You show the loss and the innocence but you don't offer the reader the revelation that one can actually heal themselves. I like your other poem on the same subject better because it does offer the concept of moving beyond what was done through a healing process. This is a very difficult kind of poem to write. a poet friend RH Peat

Starting with a poignant oxymoron, you relate more in what you don't say than some have said in volumes. Impressive, succinct - leaves the same feeling as if you had revealed all.
