    Interesting poem for several reasons, the metaphor could have possibly been more original but it worked fine because you expanded on it well enough. One reason I liked it was that it's true, you either have love or you don't, there really isn't an in between, just like a sunrise & sunset...they both are different in a distinct way. I thought the last stanza was really strong, esp. the last line I really liked that, thought provoking indeed. A rather nice write, would have liked a more challenging metaphor however.

    Awww.... this poem is so sweet and heartfelt. I love the comparison between love and nature, in this case, the beauty of the sun.. I loved it!

    These were my favorite lines:

    "For me love rises through
    his presence
    and sets as he's gone
    The sun brightens through his eyes
    and glows with his touch"

    Great job hon!

    Rapunzel,

    Tis better to have loved and lost
    than to never have loved at all "

    Free verse is tricky because it is so easy to fall into the trap of just writing something and putting in a line break here and there. Your poem has some beautiful poetic sentiments, some demonstration of technique, and a clear (if slightly cliched) metaphor that you are working with...but they needed more abstract development.
    The art of free verse is to imply without directly saying it, creating an awesome multi-layered effect. Proper enjambment is key, as is the knowledge of the power of carefully selected words that do not force themselves and are allowed to breathe and glow between their peers.
    I feel you are still new to experimenting with this form, having read many of your other rhymed verse. I have achieved no level of mastery of it myself, and I've been writing for years. I say all this because I think you have great potential and should read more free verse. On this site, I recommend sibyllene and john harrison, but definitely look further afield.
    Keep writing always, your passion is wonderful.

    As tireless wind
    fails to rest ..
    Emotions tangle my heart
    as the dancing wind
    tumble me out,
    then tumble me in
    away and toward..
    From and to the love
    that's scrambling
    sleepy sensations
    of passion..

    As I read this verse it reminds me of the ocean’s waves pulling & pushing that is the effect I got from this verse…good!

    Because for this person I am
    "Love" differs ..
    so does a sunset, and a sunrise
    For me love rises through
    his presence
    and sets as he's gone
    The sun brightens through his eyes
    and glows with his touch

    Ahhh..such is love isn’t it! Their very presence is like the sunrise in our life. This verse beautifully brings out the tender feelings of love.

    A poem which can go either way..a love loved and then lost or love that feels just from one side..enjoyed the read :)

    Indeed this is how love should be, Nana. You worded it well, as usual:)

    Yet neither dance with me
    nor share with me tears..

    ^^
    The words in these two lines are placed in the wrong order.

    You did well on this, love to read your work.

    *hugs*

    5/5 Ingrid
