Untie the laced lines
you keep within, I'll stay through
all your shades of grey.

    What a stunning little senryu, that says so much in (obviously) so little room as a good senryu always does!
    Well done and all the best,

    Opening your heart and soul and letting someone love you completely is something that is very difficult to do.

    Within this very short format, it is very difficult to pack a powerful message and Meme did that and much more here... its a touching poem about loving someone through the darkness and giving them hope... just beautiful!!!

    An elegant well written Senryu, it's that dark passion which insists to last, resonant word choice and internal rhythm. Very enjoyable.

    Although this poem is short due to the poetry style that it belongs to it was very nice to read a simple story plot in very few lines it's a wonderful read, held a lot of emotions and visuals. It was a great read.
