Love Looked at Me and Laughed and other poems - 8. Self-protection for the heart

All four of them absolute wonderful. Still No 18 got me stuck, a very powerful picture. And even No 19 is a night poem, it is full of light. And finally this stanza:

"How many ways can I say it:

night and day, before and after.

How to say it, so you will know

I love you now, as I loved you then"

You know, I hear music while reading it, it is so beautiful. 🙂

Thank  you, Lyssa. These are beautiful comments ❤️ 

Each of these in turn made me smile. Number 20 knocked my socks off, though. Your use of time was wonderful in that. 

as always, i'm just blown away

but, oh, AC...number 19 oh my heart!
that feeling of coming home to your love, where whatever s%%t storm that happened at work, it's all just washed away by the presence of the one you love

and you did it in 14 words!  what kind of alchemy is this?

if GA had a Poet Laureate title, you'd deserve it

Thank you for this, Parker, my friend. I'm pretty sure I never intended to overwhelm anybody with these, but I appreciate hearing they have some power. Thanks once more.
