1. no need for talking… (I think they’ve done this before 🙂

2. Such rich imagery …

3. I am thinking the it wasn’t potent after all as it ended in separated dreams ~ Have a good weekend Bjorn ~

4. Dreamlike and seductive…gorgeously spun, Bjorn.

5. Bossy owls are everywhere!

6. Ah yes, sometimes we do have the feeling that all has been said before. But it is sad when it happens, I think.

7. Adieu are sad, especially if the relationship has lasted long. On the other hand when no more is shared or feels worth sharing, one might wonder whether in the end parting is not the better option.

8. sweet…love that last line.

9. separated dreams?…dreams still remain?…the last line is my favorite triggering so many questions…

10. Let’s hope their spouses don’t find out.

11. There’s a sadness in this one Bjorn – bittersweet.

12. Lovely classic feel in free verse – Bravo!

13. Separation is not always a bad thing.

14. oh that walking in separated dreams there in the close is sad… i wished that even though they had to parted they at least could stay in the same dream, you know…

15. Bjorn, That was very romantic and lovely. 🙂 —Susan

16. Dreams are a way of connecting and somewhere they too will reconnect.

17. Dreams reflect the sometimes poignant and sad reality of the worlds from which they spring. Well written.

18. Some magic in this kiss…I’m intrigued… 🙂

19. I felt the kiss until their dreams went separate paths..how sad…When I first saw you title I was taken back as I too wrote about a kiss. Strange, I wrote mine last night.

20. Oh dear! I had hoped this was your wife!!!k.

21. Lovely dream, lovely walk. May it occur again and again.

22. Sometimes things that can’t be are more intense than those that can–very musical, ruminative and full of the mood of autumn, Bjorn. I love the crystal flutes, which has that double meaning of carrying either champagne or music, both intoxicants.

23. all that needs to be said…in a kiss

24. Your words and the illustration have made me really think about how much emphasis we give to the kiss in human relations.

25. I love the gibbous moon and owl in your poem – sad, walking on “in separated dreams.”

26. the opening lines are quite breathtaking

27. Ah, love them and leave them ~ smiles, one of those relationships that just can’t committ. Nicely done, Bjorn 🙂

28. how rich and sumptuous, is your imagery; i luv the surprise of separate dreams

    have a nice week; thanks for dropping in at The Sunday Lime

    much love…

29. Good job w/55 and a piece that was pretty cool 🙂

30. Such a romantic autumn scene only to say goodbye – so sad!

31. Lovely, lovely piece!

32. The last line just wrapped this up in such an awesome way. Just loved it!

33. you serve up a kiss luxuriously. Bjorn this was a delight I hear baroque music down the hall…

34. So beautiful… and incredibly sad.

35. Words left unsaid, can be a good thing or a bad thing. It’s all about that certain je ne sais quoi of the moment.

36. the moon and the frost…shew, you’ve written about two of my favorite things of the fall/winter seasons.

    highly enjoyable!

37. Once all is said, nothing’s left but goodbye. Nice 55. Hope you have a good week.

38. Oh this was just marvelous. An amazing poem Bjorn.

39. so intimate and together…and yet still walking in seperate dreams…there is a sadness in that to me…though when all is said, it is not always a bad thing…

40. dreamy imagery. loved it! 🙂

41. A kiss speaks it all…sigh, that there must be an adieu…beautiful

42. Biding their time, meanwhile “again we bid adieu and walk in separated dreams,”
    That has been acted out so many times, more times than not. Good? Bad? It read very nicely, Bjorn. Reading it made me a part of it.
    ..

43. This is not goodbye; it’s a satisfying and unacrimonious closure. Nice work Björn.

44. nice to feel like nothing’s been left unsaid. this is lovely.

45. Long sigh……….this is absolutely beautiful Bjorn!!

46. This, especially those final words, reminds me of kissing goodbye to summer in the midst of autumn’s fire.
