this is one of my poems...well the only one that i am slightly proud of. contrutive critisism is more than welcome and please if you have any suggestions on how i can improve it, don't hesitate to leave a helping hint

dreams and reality i sometimes mistake
for what i dream is what i desire
to be loved by another to which i can return
a love as majestic as the swirling flames of a fire

the search can now be abandoned
for a love like no other i yearned
my heart has now been forever scarred
for the heat of your fire as deeply burned

since when before has a burn been so intense?
a deep wound i now hold
a wound filled with passion and no regrets
i treasure this scar like a precious lump of gold

another dream i will conjure
in the hopes that again it will become real
i dream that you will stay by me forever
for i never want this wound to heal

Good work bec!!
The only thing I see is the third verse is kinda out of rhythm with the rest of the poem... Umm try takin out a couple words in the third verse so it flows like the rest of them like the last line could mean the same thing if you just put.. A wound to me, like gold... or something... great peice though
I like the words you use in it!!
P.S
Got the e-mail they were great poems if ya have more go ahead and mail em!!

your friend

Nice work.  I agree that it gets wordy in a couple places, and it disturbs the flow.
Otherwise, I feel you have expressed the thought very well.
