I am glad that you like this tanka, Olive_eloi:) As you know I am a man of few words, but I do my best to pass on my feelings. In this case the message is most important! Hugs // paul

oops, I was thinking it was about death and being kissed by an angel, but I think now it was something else. In any event, It is beautiful.

Hi Andrea! I do not censure your initial comment; it could easily be interpreted that way...that's the beauty of poetry! Your second opinion is also appreciated:) // paul
