Sated Desires

desires were sated

'Delicately' is what I had intended, Daniel, so thank you for seeing these lines through tender and intimate eyes.

It caught my eye when I searched for the imagery I hoped to convey. It belongs on canvas.

I'm well, Paula and wish the same for you. Thank you enjoying my Senryu. I may attempt a version of this abstract painting.

I like this backwards too.

It does work both ways, Paul. The way I aligned it gave the sense that it was sadly over. Your suggestion would indicate their love was ongoing. I prefer your thoughts, but it is written, "All good things come to an end." Grateful am I that you gave these lines such depth of thought... appreciate you for having done so.
