I have heard so much about You
that should make me stay away from You
but I just couldn’t help myself
I got to close and the mere scent of You enchanted me
Good morning, citizens of blogosphere! I would like to welcome you all the newest addition to my blog, the Writer’s Quote Wednesday. I have finally decided to join my dear friend, Jade of Jade M. Wong in shining the spotlight onto our chosen poet or writer every Wednesday (Thursday on my side of the earth). I hope you will like their work too! 🙂
As for my first guest, I am happy to introduce a dear friend of mine who pens about love and romance, and everything in between. Lately my muse and I have been through a series of hiatus and it was his poems that nudged the hopeless romantic in me. Twice. Meet the man behind The Reluctant Poet, Chuck.
It all started with a simple conversation about chocolates and love when his poem, Chocolate To Me, prompted me to write my own, An Inch Closer: The Sins We Make. One lead to another and here he is, writing about one’s addiction to chocolate… and love.
Give him a visit and you’re up for two bags of Hershey’s chocolate covered with caramel kisses! 😉

My Dearest Maria! I think You are Sweeter than Chocolate! How very generous and gracious of You to write such kind words about this Reluctant Poet! I am quite taken aback! Ahh, but You and I go back further that our “thing” for Chocolate? I still reread Your amazing a “Soulful Duet” and have a tough time breathing after every reread!
I do so love Your writing!! Which brings me back to being a bit of a nag? Do You have an English version of the poem I have asked You about?? I really do want to reblog it??
Again, My Dear Maria, I am honored and privileged to be able to call You my Friend!!!! Have a Great Weekend!

You deserve it, dear sir. Aw yes, we go way back with our duet. Of course. 💝 My muse and I are still at awe with your Whispered Reassurances. I hope you got my email? I have sent you a link to a recording (as per your romantic request). Haha.
And I hope you already got the wordpress notification from my post earlier. I have posted the English translation of the poem you mentioned. Lol, your nagging is always welcome.
Have a great weekend too!!
