Wooooah! You've fallen hard this time eh Ben? Hope it is all going well. just taking a quick 'off the bench' break and have read a couple of the poems...I take it they are yours? powerful stuff young lady...(I Lurked). Wish I could write poetry that powerful...amend wish I could write poetry. It's really good stuff. Will read at leisure later you litte 'mix, vixen, maiden' (I lurked well and suspect the 'virgin' doesn't apply!).
Take care

Yes, they are mine. My current relationship is tracked in the section called 'Too far, too fast'. I am in the eye of the storm at the moment. Hopefully the wind will start blowing my way soon.

Thank you for your comments, boots, I appreciate it when a fellow word-smith appreciates my stuff.

Please feel free to me know what you think of any specific ones. I some are stronger than others, and some simply no longer reflect what I feel now. I can take criticism, in fact I long for critique.

The one I wrote when I got straight out of bed was actually about the death of my father, so only indirectly about another man. It still confused the guy I was with a bit, I think. smiley - laugh

Thanks for lurking.

Incidentally, I took the liberty of putting the one about John Kettley on there too. I said it was collaborative, but I did not give details or a link.

When I put it up there, it was not a good time to ask, so I am asking you now if this is ok, and how you would want it co-credited. Bear in mind that there are links here scattered across h2g2, though not scattered too ostentatiously.
