longing is one of the most beautiful words in the English language ....

and you use it to perfection ....

Thank you so much André for that wonderful compliment!

Sincerely speaking, I don’t even think when writing: when a poem “hits” me, it just flows … and obviously it “sits” …

I went and clicked on the thumbnail this time. I'm so sorry, I didn't realise. Today of all days. It's beautiful, Dean. The longing that lives underneath the happiness, not instead of it. That's exactly what grief is. 💛

I don’t know why I always happen to see your posts very late at night.. maybe because it’s the perfect time

Dean M's avatar

It is in a way indeed the perfect time for some creative work… everything is quiet, no distractions (subject the Cat sleeping)…

We are same time zone, I release mostly Round About Midnight…

Another L poem. Might be my favourite letter. I might be biased. ☺️

Dean M's avatar

but this one has nothing with “L” play to do … read/listen, am curious what will you say …

Loved this Dean. Simplicity, romance and a little sensuality in a french accent. Beautiful!
