Enthralling poetry tinged with sadness, love the line ' tasted 'neath blue-washed linen sheets', forlornly exquisite and intense Charmaine! 7+ fave. Love this.

I'm trying to figure out why anyone would ever leave a love like that behind. Very sad Charmaine but I'm going to agree with Carolyn.

I have not heard the Elton John song, but your poem touches my heart. It seems people are always drifting in and out of relationships. However, any man who was lucky enough to fall for you wood be a fool to drift away, Charma. You are one of the most beautiful people I know - body and soul. Love you, Carolyn
