Again, great job...even while you've been out sick. I like the imagery where this poem takes the reader. I really felt your message of pain overcome by love and hope. Excellent word choice too.

How sweet. I loved this part-
He tipped my chin and kissed my lips
Clouds emptied with the rain
The sun no longer in eclipse
His presence rids my pain

Nicely done.

But overruled, he took my hand - who overruled? Remove the BUT and tell us who. Love? Hate? Bravery?

And spoke of hope, which lies within - HE spoke of hope... Remove the and it slows you down and makes it wishy washy

Hi, me again. This could be such a powerful, bold piece of poetry. You need to get rid of the cushy conjunctions that are not needed, but soften what should be kick ass lines. I love your work, but this frustrates me a bit. Of course throw my advice away if you like it as is. After all it is just my opinion, and I would never presume to know more than the artist as to how their art should be. I just feel that the bolder, stronger lines hammer the message to the reader better.

Happy Writing
Michelle

What a pretty poem. I especially liked this paragraph: He tipped my chin and kissed my lips
Clouds emptied with the rain
The sun no longer in eclipse
His presence rids my pain

I enjoyed reading this. It was nicely done. The length of the poem was perfect too.

How beautiful you poem is. I believe you are talking about our Savior, but the third stanza sort threw me and I wasn't sure. He tilted my chin and kiss my lip.

The sun no longer in eclipse
His presence rids my pain"........that is fantastic! Hope you're feeling better!

    Hi Sara-Beth, yes feeling much better, thank you. So glad you liked that stanza. It was the first stanza of the poem I wrote. Had to build around it. Thank you for your very kind review. Sue

Another deeply stirring poem, SK. This one leaves me wondering just 'who' 'he' is. Reads, at first, like your husband, but the ending seems divine. Beautifully hopeful. Love always brings restoration in its wake. Take care,
Heather

    The Lazarus reference is just a metaphor of how "he" awoke me to a new life. "He" can be anyone. A love poem showing our fears and needs at the same time. So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your very kind review. Sue
