Ohh exquisite.
A delicious moment for a haunting! What a notion. And yet perfectly true and beautifully expressed. We are all haunted, in one way or another, and there are always perfect moments
Thank you, yet again!
If anyone reads this who hasn’t listened to the audio track, I strongly recommend that you do. The music, also, is perfect.

Oh Dale…”exquisite” is a very powerful adjective.. it actually brought tears to my eyes, because it made me see how much you appreciate my poetry..and that is very beautiful for me:) Yes, we can be haunted by many things over our lifetime, but for sure in my case,it will have someone (including myself) playing the piano. Chopin, Satie, any piece that is minor, evocative of imagery and yes..romantic. It’s who I am, and how I am, and you know how music influences and helps me create my poetry.. Thank you dear friend for your last words too. I do hope people will take the time to listen to it with the Chopin accompaniment.

Ohh UmJulian, this is so extraordinary piece and while reading I had this immensely fervent feeling of love, the bond you shared with her, I know that already but whenever I read another one, I feel the warmth and cosiness always there deep seated. I was just visualizing the whole scenario, how delicious ws that moment for a haunting, beautiful, the flow of unreal air.. the jasmine plant.. haunt your nights… You remember her on the other side and so she does still.
Your words breathe habeebity. And listening to your beautiful voice is always such a treat. To read and to listen you recite your poems have two different delicious flavors.

Awww thank you Habeebity! This poem was born from the music..as you probably guessed.
Chopin painted the night and set the scene for a haunting of the nicer kind. Yes, she was someone so special to me…her life, her history, a true mystery, a true novel, as I say, never to be written..but always to be remembered.
Thank you my dear new friend for really getting who she was to me…and getting me as a poet.
If i never believed in platonic romance before..I certainly did after knowing her…and yet we were “only friends” I put “only” in quotes, because is that not the relationships that goes on, when romance fails and dies slowly..? To have a friend that you shared such a history with, is to have a gift that teaches so much. I would have never learned or appreciated what I did, if I had not known her, loved her and lost her… She was such a teacher for me, but behind every lesson, is always Allah. Alhamdulillah! Big hugs to you UmAnzar and I look forward to sharing our thoughts , our histories and our poetry in 2021. ❤️❤️🤗🤗🙏🙏
