Another fine poem, Gypsy----and I like your desription; 'morning jagged lies amid broken promises'----the reality of desire, and of questioning doubts

A beautiful yet tragic poem. I could see one of those Japanese paintings. The traditional kind. Like Madame Butterfly. This was an exquisite write. Thank you for sharing. Gretchen

    Madam butterfly is such a tragic opera. One of the songs, I can't remember the name, always makes me cry.

    Thank you, my friend. I appreciate your kind words and review.

More broken love! So tragic but beautifully conveyed. The moans in your hair is brilliant. Well done, as usual.

I like this! There is such a sense of disconnection, unease by the morning when the reality hits. The tangled hair seems to evoke the love-making combined with indiscretion and friction - a complicated and fraught relationship. Thanks for sharing, Debbie

Interesting use of the moans and tangled hair from the night before. It seems that despite having connections physically, the narrator's loved one is not faithful and that creates such pains in the morning.
