  • "(I can see the widow at the wedding catching the bouquet and staring at it blankly) These lines especially break my heart...If it were a poem i picked up by an unknown poet I would comment on the magical yet somber imagery and how powerful it pulls on the heartstrings...Coming from yourself I also see the untold. I take the ending probably a little different than intended, more like a dying of some pure light that shall never burn as bright. You and me already know each others views and how that "bouquet" even if caught, withered to dust losing any such lustre. Overall a wonderful piece but it hurt so much to read. "

  • "This poem speaks from what my own heart would say. I dont expect many to understand nor can i blame them. I never judge for anyone else being lucky enough to find love more than once in there short life time. Myself however I must say I so strongly beleive the words of Echo. I have been with my wife since I was 16 (10 years). I would never move on should anything ever happen. My love is given forever, unconditionally. I do everything with my wife and we are never apart. We are that sickly couple that finish each others sentences and whose hand always holds the shape of the other persons hand even when not clasped. The sex thing I could do without if need be as I truly beleive we make love. As I said I dont expect everyone to understand but my heart will only ever be given once. My own family dont even understand so dont feel bad for disagreeing. "
