I fear you've caused something intimate to explode. Exposed, I danced delightfully in the delicate disaster of decisions made beneath your delicious duress. My eyes caress you everywhere you stand adoring the moonbeams on your mouth kiss your sugar stardest on my lips and recompense, trusting implicitly, be it potion or poison, sin or salvation, flying or falling I drink deeply, looking longingly into the open eyes of our shared eternities. Keep me close these shattered pieces broken beautifully beneath your sweet hammer. My chaos is now calm

Well, this poem kind of hit me like a sweet hammer, too. It's something just so impactful but gorgeous about it. I'm trying to find the words. I can tell you how I feel, which is delicious. There is something so delicious about this piece. It's not really the tenderness of that sentiment and that moment you're describing. I think it's about the alliteration the images that you've used to describe this sweet source surrender. Really beautiful writing. Yeah

Hey, Khaled. So you are a really wellrounded poet from the works. I've listened so far. You know, it's one thing for a poet to really master writing, and it's another for them to master and really develop their craft of writing the poetry and delivering it the way you do, because you have mastered both and you're able to deliver quite powerful and strong poetry that resonates with your readers and your audience

I love this poem. I absolutely loved it. I love your delivery, how your words just drizzled into my mind like a light rainfall. Just as smooth mood, vibe and absolutely amazing flow. So I just wanted to leave this message and let you know how much you just tickled my fancy with that. That was amazing. That was amazing. So I am hoping to hear more. I bye

From the very first lines dealing with the energy of surrender. What a powerful energy
Wow. This was incredible. The piano sent me right from the beginning, and then your voice on top of it just really creates the whole vibe. And I like that you're talking about intimacy in this, like, spiritual way, because in society, sometimes that spiritual aspect gets lost and people are just doing it mechanically and for instant gratification. But this intimate connection that you are talking about is very sensual and very soul grabbing
And the person you love could so much as blow upon you, and you could unravel, if I can say that in a romantic sense, but they could literally, the small word from them could destroy you in a way. So there is this level of vulnerability that I felt as you were just talking as you were just speaking out through your poetry. And it is, it's true
