... No, not double vision or Kate being forgetful! :)) This page hasn't been opening since I posted it first last night, so have taken the simplest route to overcoming and re-done it. Thanks for letting me know! KopyKate xx



TRUE LOVER’S KNOT


Give me myself again
that I may show you
what you have made me.

Give me myself so that
what you have made me
I may give again to you,

what you have made me
being yours:

myself again.

Very nice, Kate. This reminds me of Shakespeare's famous quote. Sometimes we lose ourselves loving others. Hugs,
Sheila

Concise and perfect, Kate.

knotted as is, the ends enter and exit at the same place -- you now stand where you stood before you started -- at the onset of a "true lover's knot" -- clever and very entertaining Kate -- an unusual twist, if you will -- peace and love my friend -- Jon Michael

a true lover's knot is knowing how not to become untangled ;)



a superb tour de force in inter-reasoning reasoning ...



no wonder i couldn't access this poem at first ;)

Your knot is not a knot at all, rather sinous threads weaved to form the loving fabric of sharing yourself unconditionally. Patrick

THERE you are, Kate, wondered what happened to your poem! And it's a beauty - well done!

the twist within turns outwards. that's what i like to see.
You twist well.
Reviewed by Cryssa C 10/20/2009
When reading your poem I am reminded of a song about the circle of friendship...how it goes on and on, infinitely, eternally...because it never ceases.
Your words are simple, yet convey such meaning in this lyrical, circular write.

Cryssa :~)

Your poem says truth for those who love... or wish to love.
And,I'm glad that I know you!
Reviewed by Amber Moonstone 10/20/2009
One gives freely, One receives freely, That is the balance in a relationship. You give again and again and receive again and again. It's a wonderful circle of love. Nicely written. I tried to read this several times yesterday, but like you said it wouldn't let me in. I am so glad that I read this now! I want that circle in my life, I have so much love to give to a special man if only he would wake up and receive it. lol :)

Much peace, love, and light,
Amber "V"
Ps thank you for all your lovely comments on my poetry, you are such a beautiful person.
Reviewed by Felix Perry 10/20/2009
Simple complicity that says so much with so little. Kate you always find such uniguness in all you write. There is never mediocrity when it comes to your form, descriptives or thoughts. This one is no exception for when we give ourselves in love we do cede a part of our very soul to another hoping that the exchange will be a fair one.
Love it Kate,
hugs

Hi, Kate! I, too tried several times to read this, but was always redirected to the list of popular poetry...but now, here it is, and it was so worth the wait. This is so lovely...and says so much about love...true love. Not only are we made free to be ourselves, but somewhere in the process, we are made so much more...both from giving and taking.
Reviewed by Jerry Bolton 10/20/2009
I thought I was going nuts yesterday, Kate. I tried off and on all day to log onto this. Even tried to email you using AD's method, but couldn't even do that. Okay, now the poem.

This one sounds, at first, as a lot of doublespeak, but on the second read I "got" it. I'd love to sit down over a cup of java or whatever and have a lengthy discussion, you are a very interesting person.

Can't say I ever had you, then again, if I had you why the heck I would give you back? Girl, if you tried to confuse me...now again, can't say I ever...Oh boy!
