I guess it's the experience oozing through your poetic veins but this is just too much. I can't understand how you can put a poem together so beautifully, keep up the amazing work!
It feels impossible to be understood by anyone but myself, most times. As I browse these forums, though, at least I know that I'm not the only poet to feel misunderstood enough to want to run away. I can't praise your writing style enough, but I can thank you for it. Thank you.
This is not empty rhetoric. At times, no matter how noble our intention is, we tend to be misinterpreted.
We are left alone with our words that seem to be of no use.
i love this ..brilliant says i ..simply brilliant ... as creative expressionists we control the understanding easily don't we?! from oblique ambiguous punctuation of disconnect to rose water in a crystal glass on a red wooden end table ... you already know i admire your skills but this one shows a fine grasp of poetic tools that is envious ... and without saying a word per se telling a love story ... i think your opening line is my favorite ...

What a great way to explore how easy it is to misinterpret what was intended or vice versa - I've found myself in this trap many many times but would have never been able to interpret it like you did here :)
we all interpret poetry according to what is happening in our lives and never as it is actually written, we all wear our poetry and take it very personally, and read it as first person, as we all read a book and become the main character, if this doesn't happen, its really not a very good book is it?
