About This

I like it!  I rarely edit my own writing because I feel that it was supposed to come out whatever way it did.  

Hiya.  Sometimes when I write, my brain is already two lines past where I'm writing,  I can't keep up.  So edits are at times for my absent mindedness.  Seriously!
I'm glad that you like it, Madame!  Thank you for letting me know!

Gorgeous ending. The whole piece is beautiful, but the closing lines are memorable.

Always interesting to see someone's handwriting.

Thank you!  It was a good feeling carrying it in my head at work, and then writing it down. Feel free to let me know if what i added at the end is good or bad. ??

That's a cool observation, Rianne.   Pretty much, when a write is about a "person", that is the muse for that write.  Even if its a bad muse.  Lol.
This one isn't a bad one.  Hopefully I conveyed that fact well enough within the write.
Thank you much for your insight.

This has echoes of When You Are Old by Yeats. It really is that beautiful. Words can be the foreplay (definitely less messy. lol) and conduit to the heart depths.

Levels of editing is a personal choice I guess. Writing is innate (certainly can’t be taught) and sometimes it’s good to release something spontaneous as it can capture the true humanity. Also a nice personal touch to show the handwritten poem. Good work fella as we say in my part of the world. Rob    

Rob, if my write has any echo of Yeats, it's a very distant echo!  But thank you for that hefty comment.   I was due for a short and sweet write. I tend to overstay a page when I write.
  If i slow down, my handwriting is more legible.  But I wasn't intending on posting a pic of that version.  It was a way of making this write more personable, though.
Thank you again, Rob. I hope your part of Sunday is going well!

Very romantic and conceptually tied together, Styxian...

I like the inclusion of your handwriting...

I am fascinated by writer's handwriting...

I would like to see everyone's handwriting...

I actually did a video of writing a poem in real time...

It was an interesting experience...

I actually am thinking of doing it again...

(this reminds me of that)

I was/am thinking of putting the video
camera on the projector screen...

With the words being typed...

Stuff like that is real cool...

Like this piece...

Is...

Real cool...

I am interested in your video!  So show us!  It sounds intriguing.

As for my write, thank you much.  Just something less mental for a change from me.  Simply good thoughts.  It was overdue.
My handwriting is not a strong suit for me. Lol. But you're right in that it adds a bit of character to us.  Maybe more will do it.
Thank you Cipher. You do cool comments.  Lol.

Aaahhh, happy sigh.... 😊 such beauty you create. I don't know how. It's not like the words are spectacular themselves. You just arrange them so nicely and create such tender warmth. Wonderful love poetry.
Seeing your (very cool) handwriting adds an extra special touch. This is a keeper.
❤️k

For once i kept it short and sweet!  Lol.
I'm not much for big words. They trip me up mostly.  I'm not one for fancy anything really.
But, I do try to convey "fancy" thoughts when I write.  
I really like the "happy sigh" part. That makes me smile!  A simple compliment goes a long way.  
My handwriting.... well, the idea was noble, if not the legibility!  
Thank you, K.   I truly appreciate it.

Hey Styx,

This reads so romantic to me. The whole thing.
Makes us ladies all warm and smiley inside:)
I too also enjoyed reading from your handwriting.
I'm impressed!  It's not chicken scratches. hahaha

Thanks for sharing:)

Thank you Del!
My handwriting is not a skill that I have mastered.  Lol. I did rush the the write down on paper. I can read (can guess) my writing later when it's time to type it.

And, thank you for speaking for women in saying that this write brings smiles and warmth.
That was the intention.  I very rarely share my writes with people in my "real life". But this one I did.  I'm pretty sure that she liked it.  She told me so!

Dear S,

Wow! This has such a flair of the bards from yesteryear. Beautiful flow, uplifting subject. What I enjoy about this site is finding out how and why the poems get created from the authors notes. Yours is equally amazing as the poem itself. Attaching the photo of the handwritten original is fantastic. Definitely a channeling of the likes of Yeats, Browning, Burns. Beautiful write! H🌷

All of that name dropping you did in your comment has me wanting to yank this one out and rework it into something more worthy!   But I'm not.  It stays as is, because it works for what was intended.   Well, I added to the ending...  
Thank you for saying it's a beautiful write.  It reflects the one it's to.  

Yeah, you should leave this piece of perfection as is. I don’t know who these people are either. Everyone else used all the good words. I choked in panic. 🤷🏻‍♀️😊

Ok, this is poet romance!
Handwritten version is the wine at dinner!

What a cool thing thing to say, about it being the wine at dinner. That is unique and quite complimentary!  Thank you, NG.  
I hope your Sunday is going awesomely!

Damn Styx, what an absolutely beautiful love poem.
I love the sensuality of lifting words from the skin.
Writing them in her, and reading them so thoroughly.
And to give that endless inspiration for more.
With that type of love the eyes will never fade.
And there are always new memories to make.

"I will say how could I have forgotten them.
They are still standing in front of me
Not one word, has ever left
That book is your mirror, love.
Pick any page, and see
what I've always seen."

Wow, that is just gorgeous. So romantic. Breathtaking.
Oh man you would get ANYTHING you wanted. lol

And really elegant handwriting too. ;)
You haven't seen my hand writing.
I could have been a doctor.

Made me think of Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran.
But I like this better. ;)
The dancing is so beautiful, sensual, and elegant.

My handwriting is crumbling !  I'm not arthritic in that hand, somehow. Lol. But the whole hand-eye coordination could be better.  Thats for sure!  

Thanks for the loads of compliments, Scooby.  You sure do put your all into replies.  It's a good thing.  And I appreciate it.

I love the title, and the form on the handwritten, so elegant, but in borderline graffiti.. and what a cool idea, this metaphor brought to life timelessly. you have a swathe of compliments here so I'll keep it brief, but that first stanza really is stellar, Styx. I'm extra impressed that this was a no-edit. beautiful.

Seeing you show up here is a compliment!   The title is meant as a casual conversation lead in .  And the write of course is kept "short and sweet".  As if complimenting "her" for her worth regardless of her yesrs.  
Thanks for the kudos. And good to see you in the DUP.

Little parts of me wanted to climb inside this. Build a little home there.

Classic. Strong. Beautiful.

What a cool comment, Morbs.  Thank you much.

This is classic, so profuse an outpouring of love. I did not think that it was unedited. The final form is what matters, and the final form is good and pleasing.

Thank you Alviola.  
  Sometimes I'm a bit too self-depreciating, in a humorous way. But still.  I had someone ask me, though, then why should they like me, if I'm so unhappy with myself?   I said I wasn't really. And they said well you always sound like it.  

Good point.  

Many times at work, I get the whole gist of the write down, it's the wave.  And when I get home,  I build the ship.  It might not look exactly like the ship that I imagined during the wave, but it floats.

It's a wave. Great description. I wish I have waves.  
 
I read sometime in my youth that creative people are either Beethovens or Mozarts. A Beethoven labors with every note -- or word -- and builds, replaces, reconstructs until a finish is acceptable. A Mozarts spews it out, yes, in waves, easily, notes or words in place. He is gifted by all the gods.  
 
You seem to be a Mozart, my friend. I envy you.

Hell, I will take such a lofty compliment any day.  Mozart-like is going on my t-shirt.  Any doubters, I will refer them to the incredibly gifted writer Alviola.  And they will shut up immediately.
