Unforseen

Short but powerful. lovely.

Moonbalancer, that's a lovely nickname. Thank you for the kind comment! I appreaciate it!

well, who can resist a shortcut..:)

Yes, who can?
Guess what's waiting round the corner ...

the long road back...

Endless, maybe ...

who knows what lies ahead ... enticing ink Iris .... ox

Yes, who know. And perhaps it's good not to know too much, isn't it? Thank you, dear JeJe! xoxo

hope the shorter trail has led to a pleasant place, Chi.
this is intriguing...

It has indeed, John, since we saved the trouble of taking the long way to fulfillness :-). Thank you for wishing us well :-).

Wow that thin line between love and lust ... Love/Hate ... Self preservation/self destruction ...

You captured it all ... BRAVO!

It's always a thin line, the "between/inbetween" between lovers. Sometimes we don't know how thin the line is and actually, we don't want to know. And sometimes, when you think you hate someone you discover that it is just love in disguise. Thanks for capturing my underlying thoughts.

Very hot! XXX
sexy write. Very nice!

Thank you, dear forever_young :-). I'm glad you like it! It means much to me!

My thoughts: what is going on in this piece? The unexpected nature of this meeting, the defences? I perceive a rift of some sort that has been serendipitously and momentarily bridged. Now it is up to the narrator to decide if it should be crossed.

I'm sure this is way off of the intent, but I enjoyed it anyway. Great 'ku. Thanks for sharing.

Your comment makes me really glad, moe0303, because it shows that the 'ku made you think (about it). I hope that is because the theme's a bit challenging and not too untransparent :-). And you are so right with your assumption and you used the term "bridged" which was the first choice for expressing the shortcut :-). And staying in front of someone with the guard down can be either thrilling or scary.  Thanks for your wonderful comment and for enjoying the 'ku :-).

Ein kleines Problem -- "defenses" ist falsch buchstabiert. Trotzdem mag ich das Gedicht gern.

Defences isn't spelled wrong but "britishly" :-). I often mix both spelling possibilities. Maybe I should cling to one but sh ... happens :-). But thank you very much for commenting and giving your thoughts. I appreciate that much!

Ach, so.
