  1. Nothing is filled, not for Stanley or Jamie. And this was true for unlucky generations of men. But maybe not for Jared, the son. Thank you for reading this, and for your response.
  2. Thank you for reading this, Tim. Indeed, Love was snatched away, and replaced by something else. Responsibility. Religion. Convention. Expectation. I doubt any of these things satisfied or even made a dent in what both boys - now men - wanted or need now. I wonder if Stanley pops antacids, or Fr. James swigs too much wine. And that’s heartbreaking, too.
  3. Thank you, tim. I cannot help but feel deep sadness for both men. Their hurt is like that of many, I think. Yet they must somehow learn to live their lives....
  4. Thank you so much for reading this. I suspect Stanley would respect his son, surely. His own reopened wounds may be harder to guard.
  5. Thank you for reading this. Such love denied wounds deeply.
  6. Well told and exciting; your explanations help me understand the background of this world, as I have not read the Valdemar books. Poor Nerith. How will he manage in the days that follow? Don’t suppose you plan a follow up chapter?
  7. You devil, indeed. You had me thinking about incubi and vampires at the end, only to fool me. Brilliant.

    Pyeongchang 2018

    I love how crafted your last line. Lots of suspense, and a truly timely story of forbidden love. This was an unusual and well written story. 10.0 from this judge.
  9. I was hanging on every word. It was an amazing plan, fantastic - and now Monroe is stricken himself with exhaustion. Otis did very well.

    Verboten

    That’s very, very well done! A great story and a wonderful finale. The instant replay from another view made this especially fascinating.

    Forbidden

    Their coach was merely a tumbril to the execution. How infinitely sad.You left my heart breaking for them.
  12. "The mass is ended. Go in peace." There was a new priest that Sunday. He pronounced the words loud and clear. Stanley almost missed the final dismissal. He'd been staring at the altar, at the pulpit, at the sanctuary, in a kind of haze, since the early mass started on the dot of seven thirty. The feeble notes of the last hymn were nearly lost in the sound of the faithful putting on coats and making an exit from Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Church. Now parishioners could go home and
  13. The early mass leaves a man reflecting on his past.

    Snow

    I love snow; it’s myriad reflected colors are the jewels of winter. And the ground calling out to snow as its protector - what a wonderful image.
  15. I am sorry to have been so slow in responding. The flu will do that. Thank you for your kind words about these. They really helped me in those weeks when they were written.
  16. Thank you so much Gary, for your kind words, and for your patience. I have fallen victim to the flu, and so much has simply gotten away from me. These poems were written over a stretch of very difficult weeks. One can put them in better perspective now. Even so, certain smells or flavors will forever be evocative. Again, my deep thanks.
  17. You swept me up in the first stanza, felt the power of truth blazing in the second; and the third and fourth leave me with questions I can only guess at for myself. Awesome.
  18. You wrote an honest and beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing it.

    For My Friend

    You wrote something quite beautiful for your friend. Your words definitely shine.
  20. Thanks Carlos, for this feature. There were some excellent questions here.

    Chapter 17

    Kohen’s feat would make news on any ship. I wonder what the Captain is thinking, knowing there is a person on board with such dangerous strength, and for whom the Captain harbors an attraction? And what if there are unfriendly members of the crew who take notice, too?
  22. Your words breathe sunlight and warmth not just to tim, but to everyone.

    Common Ground

    An interesting result on a compelling topic. These stanzas contain some very great truths. Indeed an exquisite poem.
  24. Your post here illuminates the important aspects of the relationship between Dom and sub that cannot be shown on quick porn clip. The scene you described hurts for all the wrong reasons.
  25. If we can share such a journey, perhaps its burdens become easier to bear. If any of this hurt you, I grieve. Perhaps these will become like poetic strands of memory, much like those you referred to. Thank you so much for reading these.
