Description
The wound vanished from sight.The well of torment flowing from my hand
It now stands dry
Dry from sorrow, devoid of any strain.
And the bliss is glowing on the horizon,
Calling to its promising shores.
I gulp, I cling, I grasp,
I devour it all.
The sweet taste of elation
The mythic lush of its nectar
I can taste it with trembling lips
Ephemeral, exquisite and dainty.
Forever present, yet awfully timid
Easily losing clasp in one blow.
An inconstant companion
A delicacy we crave for at each turn.

Ultimately - thank you for sharing. It's not an easy thing.Β
The small, pithy lines flow well from one line to the next. The adjectival usage is also great in that it paints enough images to keep the reader moving along the piece. Overall, very expressive - sensual but not overly so: enough to convey the point.Β

Finally! The only reason I follow you is for your writing! I mean it's not that I don't like looking at photos of women half-naked, but I had gotten tired of weeding through notifications in the hopes that you had posted poetry (no offense intended, I'm just not too into photography)... You really need to drop the whole "English is my second language" excuse because guess what? English is my first language and I don't think I'll ever be half the writer you are right now. Keep writing!

There is truth and beauty in the words and in the mind of one so fair.

Very well written, and you have no need to be reluctant due to your English. It speaks to the reader fluently.

I was saddened when you had posted some time ago that you had stopped writing for us on DA.Β I believe I wrote to you to urge you to continue, as you do have talent, even in a second language.Β Not that I can claim any credit for the reappearance of your writing here, I am so glad that you have once again decided to share your words with us.
I have lost track of how many times I have read this.Β Each reading brings to mind a new shade of meaning.Β Since I have a fondness for things related to vampires, that is the feeling that was most strong with me in reading your poem.Β It may not have been your original intent, and I can see other possible meanings, but when it spoke to me, that voice was the most fervent.Β That this poem is able to evoke such a variety of images, feelings and meanings (and perhaps a different one for each reader), speaks to the power and magic of your writing.
If it was possible for your many fans to love you any more than we already do, this has certainly done so.
Thank you.

Glad to see you publishing your writings again. I understand you, because I write also in English, that is a secondary language for me, and I always fear of making a lot of mistakes.

Are you going to write more poems?

probably, yes

Neat! It's been a while since we've had a poem from you.

Indeed, I didn't feel very comfortable with posting my writing these days

Your English seems fine, if that's what made you uncomfortable. Poetry and plain talking don't always follow the same rules, so you can take more liberties with what you want to say. I think I understand your words as well as get the meaning of the poem. Although with most writing, it can be interpreted a few different ways.
If there's another reason for your discomfort, I hope you can work through it. Your poetry is nice.

Thank you, it's mostly because what I write is often very personal and since I know some people a pretty immature on social media, I got discouraged in posting for a while. Last time I posted a piece on depression. It was extremely hard for me share this and this one imbecile wrote "buhuhuhu I have problems, buhuhu shut the fuck up show me your tits.". It seriously cut me from posting anything for a long time. It was not that the comment hurt me, but the ignorance of people was just too much to handle.Β

With my entire affection, if you stop to publish poetry forΒ the comment by a troll,Β the trolls will win.

I agree, but I was in a very delicate and hard moment of my life, and I had to make my personal health pass first

So you weren't hurt by what they said, you were more disgusted that they didn't care that they wanted to hurt you? I understand. It makes it seem like sharing your thoughts would be a lot less useful. I've been there.
If your poem reflects personal situations and you're concerned about people recognizing that, then know that I'm glad things appear to be getting better for you. I'm also glad that you can express that without being nasty yourself. Β It shows you have strength to share personal things in the first place, so you should use that strength again to resist anyone who takes a cheap shot at you for trying to be open.

That is a common response here on DA, There are a lot of people (using the term loosely) who are childish or this is the only porn their mother will let them view! LOL! It many times comes up for photographers who shoot women but not nudes, it is like they just discovered that women have breasts, idiots!
