This genuinely moved me immensely, MA.

"We didn't know lust could be innocent"

Just one of the many lines I could have picked from this wonderful (and wonderfully refreshing) piece.

Take care.

Love this Mary Anne!

Hello, Poet on the Piano,
Love in a whirlwind of tragedies and when there is no one else, there is always us. A beautiful movement to this poem without being repetitious, gracing into each stanza with the poetics of love, lust, loss and innocence. Truly wonderful writing. Praises galore.
Regards, Tony.

Some incredibly moving lines - innocence and unrequited love. Beautiful. Milly x

Hello, Poet on the Piano,
Very well done, a fitting win and wholly deserved.
Kind regards, Tony.

I love this:
"too afraid and ashamed to do more
than place our problems in ink."

Such a heartbreaking poem.

Your words bring such vivid imagery to the mind, a touching write. Congrats on the win

***We shared our secrets, slept with razors
in bed, wrote poems to our addictions,
too afraid and ashamed to do more
than place our problems in ink. ***

This part right here. ?? Love! I don’t know why it gripped me so eagerly, maybe the part about writing poems to our addictions, but I love it. The memories, the vivid pictures you brought out with this poem, all amazing! Great Write! ????
