All over …

glad you're back,
guess we never know
what's meant to be...

Thanks for welcoming me back, dear Paul.
No, we never know what time brings.  
Or takes.

Was thinking about you today and wondering where was Miss Chi ???

good to see you here holding court again

Ah, Speak! Good to see you here!
Miss Chi was absorbed in work and woe.
Thank you for your kind words :-).

Phenomenal write, I could feel a connection with it, great job!

Dear Sara, glad you could connect :-). It's the same with me, reading your pieces! Thank you!

beautiful as a song, Chi. love grows like an oak, from a simple seed...

Is it this you see from it? I'm glad you can look at it from that angle, too, since the seed of love had been outlayed nonetheless, though not intentionally.

what narrow parameters and yet the heart trumps the mind

We always believe we're able to outsmart the heart, JAZZ. We aren't ...

The title is tantalising.  It could be read more than one way - as a break-up ballad (sense of 'it's all over') or a togetherness tale of a couple who end up in bed together ('all over each other' literally) after an unpromising start to the relationship.  (The latter was the sense I read it in.)

And as a break-up ballad it was meant, with the knowledge that a promising thing like love will have no place between illegitimate sheets.

Those sighs in the end, can be breaking a long silence, much is in the weight of a sigh...
Sadly so...

The heavyness of a sigh can weigh you down so thoroughly, you'll never ever get up anymore. Yes, that's sad ...

Oh yea Another outstanding piece, happy to know you're back lady! :)

Back again, yes, Poe. Thank you for your support and your kind words. Happy, you're here, too.

Love surprises us in the darkest times - beautiful write

Thank you, whale :-). Love does ineffable things to us ...

And of course effable :)

Of course :-)!

Hello Miss Chi :)...Goodbyes lead to Hellos

Ah, Hash, you're a wise man :-)! Hello, my friend!

Great piece Miss Chi!!!
Love the read and write!!
Welcome home!!


Sir Lancelott

Thank you so much, Lance!
Glad you like the piece and even gladder that you so kindly welcomed me back!

a tale of woe, sad, as some endings are, as your poem crisply captures...

You captured the message perfectly, dear J. It's not exactly what it looks like but some things have to come to an end, sooner or later.
