RE: I'm not trying to cross any line
My dear even though English is not your language,still this has been a wonderful effort in portraying your feelings.No one is perfect enough to judge another.May God be your Refuge & Strength.
I'm not trying to cross any line
thank you so much, yes it can be a challenge to write in a another language and make it still sond good and have a good meaning :). thank you so much, for your time, and comment, and i am glad that you like it, i apreciate it
RE: I'm not trying to cross any line
Me too (sorry I meant) SMRE: I'm not trying to cross any line
Yonik, nice write. Writing in English with another basic language is dificult, meaning of the words to say are universal.I do not know what the end will be
But I still have hope that He's with me
Me to my Dear Poet.

Gaze Upon the Clear Sky
hey, thank you so much again, i apreciate it, thank you for taking your time to read my poems and comment on them, I'm not trying to cross any line
thank you so much, i apreciate that, i am glad that you like it, and glad to see a positive comment on it 
RE: Gaze Upon the Clear Sky
Nice translation."You've strayed from your intended way,
To know God, you seek day by day,
But your path is preordained,
Even when you feel restrained."
I think if my path is preordained then I can't stray.
It's great when different cultures around the world have commonalities.
RE: I'm not trying to cross any line
Nice poem."If I do not make it to the end of the line
The only life lost is gonna be mine
But if I do make it to the end of the field
Then I'll enjoy every breath of the wind."
I am of the belief that the demise of a person is the end of his/her line.
RE: Thinking about Love
Thank you SM for your wise words.. I guess I ll stay alone at home on Valentine..wish you a great day on February,14, full of beauty and love 
RE: Valentine's 2024
Happy Valentines's to you too, Islandgirl. SMThinking about Love
Thanks Mizzy and Salamuna for your comments.Mizzy so true no matter how hard you try if love is not reciprocated makes a broken heart.
Salamuna you are entitled to disagree, that's what writing is all about. Sometimes someone loves you but you just can't see it, it passes on undetected. Yes, love is very gentile, it's not grabbing what I meant to say but seeing the opportunity. Sometimes two bond at first sight, others friendship goes a bit farther and turns into love, this goes on and on in different cases.
Hope both of you have a sweet Valentine's Day! SM
RE: Thinking about Love
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us SM,but may I disagree? Love can't be grabbed..I guess...it s like a gentle flower.. so better to be very gentle with love..RE: Violet Flames
"Violet Flames"An interesting name for a poem.
Some thought provoking words or sentences can bring back memories of "when."
RE: The Black Mermaid
Nice poem.I gaze at the clouds and can see formation of objects, but I never did that for the rocks I see.
I may take a look, but I'm doughtful I'll see the formation of a mermaid.
Haiku v Senryu
Thanks very much Lily and SM for your kind reviews. I love the brevity of this poetry form.Mick.
RE: Thinking about Love
A Poem of great wisdom and solid advice SM. The first tentative moves are nerve wrecking and must be done on tippy toe.When love is reciprocal.. nothing else matters.
Mick.

Be My Last Love Story ...
Many thanks for your kind words southmiami4321... However... compared to what i express through my poems... it seems to be an outright meat market out there in the dating scene ... Not exactly the right kind of soil to grow organic love as we may have once known or envisioned it to be...RE: Be My Last Love Story ...
Islandgirl, I'm sure someone will come into your life to complete your love story and can happen when you less expect it. Nice writing.SMThe beauty in the shadow
thank you so much, i have many others but i can not translate them and make them sound good in english to and keep the rime :( only few of them work this way. thank you all once again, much apreciatedRE: The beauty in the shadow
Yonik , I'm sure this heartfelt romantic poem is as beautiful as in Romanian....SMRE: Haiku v Senryu
Both beautiful writings. Enjoyed them very much, incredible what words can make us see and feel. SMRE: Haiku v Senryu
Hi Mick. I'm not so good with haiku and Senryu... but I liked both because of their depth of thought. everything around us is tiny parts of one big mechanismabout mobile phones..yes..by devoting so much time to phones we miss something more important..wise words as always, Mick
warm greetings from cold land , Lily
The beauty in the shadow
hehe, nope it did not, i run fast and far from it
but thank you, glad that you like it 
RE: Be My Last Love Story ...
There's a lot of longing but also positive hope in your poem Islandgirl,It is said that if we love ourselves first then our loved one will gravitate towards us.
I hope you will realise your dreams.
Mick.
RE: The beauty in the shadow
Cupids arrow certainly landed directly on your heart Yonik. Very romantic poem, nicely written.Mick.
RE: 'The Supreme Sensations'
A nice merge of culinary and writing experience SM. The humble salad is a very healthy option.Mick.
'The Supreme Sensations'
Thanks for the add-on, Fargo....the list goes on and on. SM

Said the mushroom to the capsicum'Aren't you feeling a little left out?'
'Yes' said red pepper, 'but the salad is pretty dicey'
