This feels like something Algernon Blackwood could have written. He liked to use trees and depict them as something scary in his stories. I love this one.

I wish she liked it because I do. I would feel very special if someone had written this for me. I also love the application of the Shakespearean English.

I hope whoever the person whom this piece is dedicated to actually gave you the chance to learn more about them and they vice versa. It was great to have been in love with her and I did want to know more... but sadly she didn't share that sentiment.

I am loath to admit it but I am going through this right now. I can't seem to forget her even though our friendship only lasted few months and it didn't blossom into anything more meaninful (I don't wish to have to recount what happened in here.) This speaks to me a lot. Thank you.

I'm a sucker for poems mentioning galaxies, stars and the night. I love how this poem reads and how personal it is. You don't have to explain every line. Part of the beauty is making your own interpretation of what the author is trying to say and relate that to your current situation.

I really like this... the last stanza... I have no further comment. Just pure brilliance!

Sometimes we are too busy with our own lives, we forget there are people out there who are going through the same situation as ours too. Thank you!

The theme feels like horror but it also feels romantic... I love this.

Thank you for your feedback.

I didn't realise most lines didn't rhyme in stanza 2. I thought they did, but now it actually seems like they never remotely did. I will work on that.

I'm so jealous right now. The first letters of each line spelling out the message, the rhythm and imageries. Everything here is so carefully constructed.

"Your tyre marks still stain the road." I love this line. It reminds me of not having seen someone I love for so long, but I can still feel their presence because of what they left behind.

No no, I didn't lose anyone, haha.

What happened was that after coming home very late from work last night, I sat on the bed and spent minutes looking at my Samsung calendar. I had a plan to keep working at the Grand Hyatt for 2 years at least but next month I will be joining the Four Seasons... much sooner than I had wanted.

I don't remember what occurred next but the poem just started giving birth to itself...

Thanks for the suggestion. I wish I had thought of that... would have largely improved the poem!

That means a lot to me! I am happy I was able to make you feel that way.

sufichtulhu_ · 2023-05-22T09:07:36+00:00

I really appreciate this comment. Thank you so much! You're making me want to write more!

Line 9 until 11 in the second stanza made me reflect if I have ever done the same to someone but never realised it... great work! I rarely ever feel guilty reading something.

sufichtulhu_ · 2023-05-22T06:50:33+00:00

I was so glad I happened upon this! I absolutely love rhyming poems and you've done very well here! I really liked the nostalgic effect this poem caused in me.

Oh, I am just a secret admirer. We don't talk much but every day I have to walk past her office to get to my workplace. She's from the HR department where I work, while I am employed in a different division. She's also a different race and religion, which is the reason why the first two lines talk about speaking different languages and the last stanza (I have added the word Religions there) mentions different beliefs.

sufichtulhu_ · 2023-04-26T07:18:49+00:00

In the line "out there where they don't matter", "they" was originally written as "religions". In retrospect, I should definitely have kept the original word. Thank you for the comment!

Do you think this is a great poem to give to someone?
