Thank you, Mallory - and very nice to meet you! There are quite a few of us poets dotted around Substack. I think all those who’ve commented above are poets, for example, and most of the folks I hear from more or less regularly are poets too. There are so many in fact that a couple of folk put together lists- I don’t have them to hand, but I’ll try to look one or them up later and send it to you.
This is so intensely warm in its words and feel
Beautiful, Thomas. Adore the fragmented images
'you own me since I give you, give me since I forgive'
Mysterious last lines, mysterious read... more!
Thank you, Sea. So glad the poem communicates some of love’s mystery!
Beautiful poem!! I dont see to many poets on here (im still new & trying to find them) im glad to see someone else writing some (-:
Thanks for sharing!

Very nice, love the turns of thought and phrase!
Thank you, Alan, that means a great deal. Thank you for the restack too!
Love it. Thank you. So warm.
So glad you like it, Julie. It’s very nice to meet you - and thank you for the restack!
Likewise :)
So lovely. It's a poem that slows me down as I read it.
So glad, Margaret. We all need to slow down sometimes! Thank you!
Wonderful, Thomas, remarkable for its use of imagery that seems, to me, to rise out of the Dreamtime
I am growing in my enjoyment of this on every reread.
Wow, thanks Tamsin. To know the poem is getting re-reads is humbling. Thank you!
If I could cosy up in a poem, it'd be this one.
This is a beautiful poem about love. It might have been hard to write, per your earlier note, but it sings. There are so many gems here ...
Thank you, LeeAnn. If I have achieved just one gem of beauty I am happy and more! Thank you!
