    “…such softness
    savagely cut
    the veins and buds of
    my soul…”

    it hurts.

    You had me at hello drippingmind.

    I am your number one fan now. Your latest poems blew me away. .. seductive, passionate, profound, intellectual…, lethal combinations of your writing prowess…

    Oh by the way, I think God has favorites. Look at you, great, superb talent – an excellent poetress with a very beautiful face – you’re irresistible.

    I adore your poetry.

    You are excellent in your usage of symbolism. The metaphors and life’s irony in your poems makes each one paradoxically sweet, graceful, regal. The strength of a soulful, feminine mind.

    Great poetry in this site.

    This is a great poetry. I loved to read it here.
    I think you have got some good qualities to express things out of you in the form of this poetry.

    Hello Leofina!

    Fantastic poem! First I read “Stilleto’s secret” and now this one; and I must say that I am becoming a fan! :D

    Thank you so much for having dropped by my blog! I would be delighted to see more of you there :D !

    I am sorry for not making a deeper comment on your delightful work, but today I am a bit in a hurry, but I will be back (I’ll add you to my blogroll)!

    Have a great week!

    Cheers

    Ebangui, there’s a song entitled “Too Much Love Could Kill You”, :-) , i think that song is in parallel with the lines of the poem you quoted..,:-) although a little less intense maybe..

    There are instances in life wherein what could have been nurturing us become the very same thing that snap the life out of us.., i see things that way sometimes:-) .

    Poetrydailyreader, bless you be :-) for such sweet words.

    As to the latest poems, these are written by the woman in me, an inch away out of the shell, :-) .

    I must say though, that God wasn’t unfair, believe me,lol.

    Makatang Pinoy, many thanks!

    I often hear the cliche “life isn’t fair”, which I think is unfair to fairness itself, lol.:-) I see life as a little bit ironic, most of the time so i guess was trying to inject a little bit of realism in there. :-) .

    Gifts to Pakistan, welcome and thank you, :-) .

    It’s a not so recent self-discovery, my passion with poetry I mean. I must agree that I feel most comfortable expressing myself in verses. I am glad you liked my poems. :-)

    Hello Leofina!
    Fantastic poem! Loved to read it.

    You have written words and more…….
    soft intriguing feelings and
    emotions that are still a bud………..
    dipping in the silken scents …
    too far to touch……
    which only words can confine…
    you have written more than just words…

    Fabulous poems here.

    You write poetry with an amazing technique, you have a way of expanding the theme and topic through methapors and imagery. Great job!
