Sometimes it is better to keep an infatuation secret. One could wreak havoc otherwise. I noticed you wrote this from the point of view of a woman, but I suppose it could equally apply to a man.

    Oh, yes, it goes both ways. Thanks for you read and review. And I agree, sometimes it is better to keep feelings a secret.

Hmmm! Mysterious and evokes questions of all kinds! Very enticing, with extremely cool artwork. All those elements make this one stand out from the crowd. Good luck! I hope it does well for you in the contest.

Oh, this is sad, it sounds to me like someone is either gone or passed away. That was important to you in your life.
If the latter is the case, Every time you think of this person are called their name, that person turns and smiles upon you and hears you and feels you every time.
Or I could be completely off my rocker and have interpreted this. I adore the picture you chose. I see no issues with aesthetics or grammar. A fine submission with a dose of magic so good job. Hope your day is great!

    Actually, the poem is about someone loving another without their knowledge. So in a sense you are right that a love one is missed. But it is a one way love, because the person being loved is not aware perhaps because they are married to another. Thanks for the read, think and provide feedback.

    Wow, that's the beauty about poetry. It is interpretive even if it's wrong. However, your explanation makes much more sense, so thank you for that. And thank you for that gorgeous poem.

This is very good. I think what makes it hit home, is that sometimes it's true. Many of have been there. A time, a place and person, that "circumstances" forbid us from reaching.

Well done.
