You have to read this slowly, sensually, so your heart can listen.

My heart has so much love
I just wish she would give me another chance
to show her the true me
the one she could see
if only she would give me that chance
I could show you no mistakes
I could show you my pure heart
my love filled with passion
you must remember the good times
as much as the bad
'cause one sweet smile from you
wipes off all sad
it felt like an amaranth dream
our pure times
a never-ending relm, in the honey fields of love
only fate will tell
if my path leads me to you
only the true me
will lead her to me
you have to be yourself
thy heart speaks to me
you have to have fun
it's your destiny
we will see my love
'cause feelings change
how the wind blows
so up and down,
to and fro
if it does happon
I will show you the true me
the me you said I Love You to
and then we will see
at that single moment
like a pair o dove,
we will be
In Love

This is the first of your poems that I have read. I liked it. It had an interesting flow and a message that I could totally relate to. I do have one suggestion though. I think the ending would be more powerful if you left off the last line and ended it with "In Love". Just my opinion. It's a good poem

I really liked this one. it did sink into my heart. I thought you wrote this with a touch of magic. It really came off as a wonderful poem. Great job.

This is a beautiful poem.  I was into this from the very beginning.  The words really touched me...
"our pure times
a never-ending relm, in the honey fields of love
only fate will tell
if my path leads me to you"
Very nicely done.  THis is a wonderfully written poem.

The poetic style was interesting... and indeed, it was one which was meant to read a little more slowly because of the way it shaped the words and the way it wanted the images to unfold.  I have to say that this piece really was an interesting one... the first I've read from you, and I look forward to more.  ^^  Nice job.

Of course I have to say something relatively critical, though, since it's bothering me... when I read the title of your work, I thought the image of the amaranth would be prominent, and the mythological flower never seemed to be portrayed very well in this piece... although the phrase "amaranth dream" probably means something than what I thought, as I interpreted it, I never saw why you used those words in an allusion. ^_^

The title is the part that stands out most in this poem, and yet, to me, it doesn't connect well nor does it have the same flow as the rest of the poem... and its literal use inside of the poem as a phrase seemed out of place.  It does, however, echo the same way the poem does... and I think the poem would have been stronger if you had avoided the use of the words 'amaranth dream' inside of the actual poem.  Just my thought, though... those words are too lyrical, and the words used here too subtle.  It just seems really out of place.

Basically, though, that was my only major problem with the poem. ^_^  Other than that, it flowed well, and it echoed beautifully, and it was definitely a noteworthy piece.  Thank you very much for the read... the title really caught my eye (thanks to one of my friends, anything related to the amaranth catches my eye), and made the click and the time spent reading well worth it.

Thankyou very much for your words. Amaranth dream as a title just reminded me of a beautiful Woman I once knew, Megan was...a never ending dream, it does seem out of place, but, it is my heart, no matter how strange it might be. It is pure Love.
Anyway _ AUSSIES RULE
wooooooooooooooooo yeahhhhh

It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.

Another Aussie is good to see. hi. Aussie here too. Obviously. Anyway...

how nice to see that you found someone worthy of such a poem. She must have a great place in your heart. Your wording was quite beatiful but the ending I found to be quite weak. Just in love. Wacky doo. I don't know, it is probably just me but things like that make a difference in my world.

Thanks for the read and remember to reply heaps!
