Woooow this is superb. I love how it has a rhythm all its own. A prime example of how free verse can be downright musical, in some ways incredibly musical. Music itself also comes from that same Eros that you dance with so skillfully here. At the same time, this one really has your own personal voice in it. Would love to hear this recorded. It has spoken word energy, I think. Since it’s deeply profound and deeply personal and diary-like all at the same time. And the echoes of the rhymes…it’s timed just right. The rhymes almost form a musical key that the whole piece is in, somehow.

This poem is absolutely breathtaking. It takes the reader through the meanderings of your mind, as Mike said, in a rhythmic, musical sort of way. It feels incredibly creative and healing all at once, sharing kisses of the Muse, generous and tender. Definitely heart-opening 💗
