It is not the heart

You got that; penned so well <3

I've read this gem numerous times Karla, but haven't known what to say in a comment. First congratulations though! An awesome, well-deserved win :)

When I first read this, I could automatically tell by the title that this poem would draw me in and probably touch me with meaning, and it did. I thought of love in these verses, something so delicate, something interlocked with the soul and the body as you express.

I love everything about this poem, how you seem to still regard the heart to such a high degree, but still say that it isn't the heart that makes such a passionate move, it is the body. Really creative and deep, good job Karla, please keep writing!!!

Much has already been said. But I will tell you myself that this really is an enjoyable read. You never cease to amaze me with your writes, and this is a fully-deserved win. Congrats!

I needed this write on Monday. I needed to see it on the front page. I wanted actually to comment once I read it but I have been struggling with analyzing it perfectly. And I guess that is because it really could be interpreted in many different ways. I hope I'm not wrong.

This write doesn't only show your wisdom as in every other write from you. No, it also gives you that desire of thinking in various manners. It gives you that feeling of being a one of a kind woman, a one of a kind human-being.

I love how you incorporated parts of the space into your piece, it felt undescribibly original and creative. The way you played on words such as 'the Milky Way' and 'milk' made this poem unique and a pleasure to read.

I don't know if you will find it weird but this write of you reminds me of another older write (also written by you) it was in your older account. I learnt it by heart and couldn't get enough of it. I'm still not over it. I could remind you:

'Let us follow the muses
while the hours abuse desire,
and this kiss searches for you.'

I cannot believe your ability to connect the body with the soul, the psyche and the heart with what's concrete and material. You are a goddess, a brilliant poetess in my opinion, Karla.

Awesome, thought-provoking write!

Very Smooooooth! Very lovely words that weave such intricate images.

I like how you have incorporated the stars and other heavenly bodies into your write. It takes the reader out into space and I felt like I was slowly drifting freely whist reading your write.

But with the last stanza, it does somehow bring you back to earth and I like what you have done.

Lovely write.
