- "The crumbling facade...I liken it to a mardi gras mask. Gay and happy to the crowd and underneath could be anything. Great piece, Sir."

- "When she asked me for a physical sharing, I had to choose. I chose to accept her fully. In my heart from that moment, she was my wife - in the deepest place in my heart. I saw it as giving her my love. She saw it as me not protecting her from myself. She was my soul mate even if I wasn't hers. I'm a fool I suppose. I couldn't touch anyone in that way unless I was fully in love. I didn't think she could either. Sleepless nights , nightmares, and heartbrokenness such that I preferred to be dead for years, but wouldn't allow myself that cowardly exit because I have no desire to cause pain to those that care about me. * * * Now just emptiness inside that continually haunts me. At least I have loved fully, even though it was thrown away the next morning."

- "It would seem quite incredible to me if death weren't the only cure. Don't worry that there is implication behind that observation though, I care too much about the ones who love me to be so selfish as to stop my own pain. I still desire to have unity and joy, but to retain my sanity I finally gave up hope for it. I decided that I couldn't give up on the love inside me, so I gave up on the hope of being happy instead. Love is more important that joy. * Sometimes people ask how I'm doing and I say in a pretend sarcastic way, "I'll live." The elliptical statement behind that is, ( I just won't enjoy it) - at least not fully."

- "Lustrum is a real English word first popularized during the Roman Empire as a period of five years. You're quite right though, I did intend for each syllable to convey a contributing meaning."

- "Heartfelt piece and wondering about the title "Lustrum" as a scrambled word (anagram?): rum sLut, rum Lust, must ruL, something Latin (it's Greek to me) - Thanks"

- "I was rereading the comments. Five years later I've concluded you are right. It will pass - when I do. Thanks for the encouragement though."

- "Thank you. I am humbled that you find it so. This is the result of me writing on a relatively good day when my mind is calmer. It seems odd to me to have reverted, at least on some days, to my previous natural state, yet remaining in a sea of hopelessness. Who knew there could be a sort of serenity even in this place? I think I'll call my next work "Acceptance of Emptiness.""

- "each line etched with pain and sadness... there is no mistaking the tone and feel here, although it's done with a very flowing easy rhythm... perfectly stated piece"

- "Thanks Cherry Bear, it's good to hear from you. I'm pleased that you like the poem, and saddened because that probably means you understand it. That kind of truth is usually reserved for those that have paid a price for it. Big Hugs for the Bear. "

- "I may be nearing the place you told me to go, Moongirl. The more I realize there's nothing to hold onto, the easier it is to try letting go. . . some days anyway."
