Wow.. Beautiful. Intense.

This makes me wish I knew more about ancient Greece! You have so much talent, I'm really amazed.

I don't know why, but I really admire how you use punctuation to full effect in separating/uniting lines, so forth, et al. (bah.)

It's really innovational, for some reason. I'm usually a stickler for conventional punctuation, but in your case I'm more than willing to make exceptions. I think it's because of the lushness of your images, the implications of every line. I'm gushing, aren't I?

EG

Hephaestion comes alive again under your skillful hands. Alexender and his lover always touch a spot in my heart, and I love this poem for this reason. That and you're good.
