beautifully illustrated…

I see you were really burning the midnight oil on this one Anil!

The sly finish to this one had me retreating to the start for more love calls again and again—just to get down to bottom for more fine-tuned reality.

I am a slob for punishment when it comes to love.

As always, your late-night electronic penmanship leaves us a well-honed, quizzical love sonnet.

ah beatiful words! i wish your lady love would read this loving sonnet…you wont have to write in the past tense then. :)

Superb as always. It’s a delight to visit this site of yours.

tangy: why, thank you and welcome here!

finnegan: looks like this is my day for confessions…I’ve followed a policy of not dating the work I put up here so not everything is written on the day it was posted…some are from quite far back…a return to my past so to speak…this is one of them…but that doesn’t mean I’m giving up on your compliments…I will still take them!

gulnaz: thank you! well, somethings are best said in the past tense…because they are over and done with…

JW: hey is it really you? its been a long time…a warm welcome to you…and thanks a lot…it is nice to have you here!

The same. Got your link from Ph’s blog. Had heard you’d shifted ~ but the genius is intact. Good work :)!

“Warm

Like your red lips
And my brown eyes”

I melted at this.

“But
Do you regret?
Letting down your guard

So suddenly”

My breath caught on this.

I breathe again, and love what I read.

love intertwined between us. that absolutely took my breath away.

Stunning macha…

“That shy smile
That secret glint
That quiet wisdom
That hidden strength

The playful hands
And sensuous eyes

Touching the root
Of my wild desires”

most especially my favorites. it reminds me of someone. thanks for writing so beautifully of this intimate moment. i’m always amazed when i come here :)

You have captured the moment perfectly. Particularly the ending.

“Do you remember still?

That surprised night
Awkward and fumbling

You not ready
Me undecided
And confused

But
Do you regret
Letting down your guard

So suddenly?”

Perfect.

excellent wordplay.

well…its perfect, anyway. :)

Loved this one Anil. One of your best I’d say. It reads like the progression of a relationship over a period of time. Great ending. I’m not usually so open with praise, really enjoyed this. :)

I liked the lines,

sleeping together
in the quiet afternoon

and,

glistening
with slow desire

mmmmmm…. sensual

JW: ah you praise me to much! thank you..but you havent left your site address…you still blogging?

Mermaid and transience: ah, the two lovely ladies have returned! so nice to have you back…and thank you so much for your equally beautiful words…

Rhohit: hey good to have you here dude…thanks!

lorena: *takes a bow*…as always you leave lovely words behind…thank you!

:A: ah, as always you are a man of endings! thank you…I’m glad you like this…

cj: thank you…

gulnaz:*smiles*

Aran: my, my you seem to like this a lot to say that…thank you…yes…it is a condended story of a beautiful relationship…

indigo: *smiles*..why thank you!

:-)

What to do? I love good endings.

A woman submits her soul
Her whole
To the man she loves
Has no room to regret
Though she might not be ready
Wanting to give love
Transform her soul into the light of giving

:A: *smiles*

Nasra: The last line is so beautiful..did you just make it up? Amazing!

What wd you do …is she says that she does regret it ? Some things are meant to happen…regrets or no regrets….

…Beautiful sentiments though….U shd write more often.

rusty: I agree…but this was an excorcism of sorts…to absolve some guilt and make peace with the past…and thanks…I hope I’ll too!

Wonderful. That’s all I can say about this, really.
