Written: January 29, 2024 ______________________________________ Your eyes are the blades that slaughter my heart. These ruby lips store words that pierce my heart. Will my blood be enough to quench your thirst? Will your charm be suited to grab my heart? Your arms offer mere delight, they're steel traps. Your wish, a rod and shell to pound my heart. Your love is more lethal than snake venom. Your pledge of bliss will only break my heart. What dark dreams lurk in your tortuous mind? You're still plotting to softly mince my heart. Therefore, I don't have a name to defend. There are no hues required to show my heart.

Powerful emotions dwelling in world of intense romance--Your arms offer mere delight, they're steel traps. Your wish, a rod and shell to pound my heart. I hear and feel the emotions, my friend. So well done!

This was an intense read, dear Sotto. I agree with Daniel...your words cut deep, like shards of glass, yet I'm drawn to the beauty within your powerful and descriptive words. Each line in your Ghazal was smooth and captivating! In a round about way, your poem reminded me of that song by The Electric Light Orchestra titled "Evil Woman.' Honestly, I've never understood women like the one you describe...makes my Texas blood boil. Have a great evening, your poetess friend in Texas, Sara

Sotto, Your words cut deep, like shards of glass, yet I’m drawn to the beauty within. Your verses evoke a tumult of emotions, a dance of desire and fear. Will your love be my salvation or my undoing? Your mystery ensnares me, and I surrender willingly to the unknown. This is Just a plethora of well thought out emotions. Wonderful. - Blessings, Daniel
