HG Great love shows in this poem. Good work. I hope you have or will be able to feel real love's joy. Imaginary love is perfect. Real love is not. But it is better. Love, Dane

I'm newer to Poetry Soup than some of the others...but reading some of your poems,I have come to know your journey & pain.It is understandable,but friends here on PS are so kind,I'm sure they have been a wonderful source of comfort.Now..reading this poem, I am so happy for this new love, and to know that a void in your life is now filled with someone named Jill..how wonderful that is! You deserve to be happy, and that's what your dear wife,Lenore would want for you! God Bless Best Wishes!~Carrie
