Paralyzed in time I search for myself behind parapets of stone that I built long ago Without ever knowing what I held in my hands And in the hysteria I only find heaven in your words Sanity and peace in your presence Through you I touch stars and shape oceans of blossoming years and fallen tears Then we're back again to a reality where distance holds you and I do not Angel 12.28.00 |

I love this poem! Especially the last line "Then we're back to reality/where distance holds you and i do not". Because throughout the whole poem the reader believes the person you're talking about is there, but in the end he/she's not. I love that lil' twist at the end! |

wonderful dark enchantress. You grasp of words is astonishing, and the way you put them together shows such continuity. I see no changes, wake up in the morning I ask myself, "Is life worth living or should I blast myself" TUPAC SHAKUR |

I like the ending (I don't know... I think I have a thing for endings today)! I dunno. Through the poem I was like, 'okay, don't totally understand this...' then I got to the end "Then we're back again/to a reality/ where distance holds you/and I do not" and I'm like, 'ooohhhh! Now I get it!' I love the way you put the whole thing together. Just love it! ~*Skyfire |

Nice one, i thought this was nice. The ending was captivating........a pleasure to read. I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

*sniff, sniff* Then we're back again to a reality where distance holds you and I do not I can really relate, Jaime. Other then that, I don't know what to say. I loved the poem, but how many times do you want to hear that? LoL... The ending was truely captivating. ~ Titus "My body is merely the canvas of my soul." ~ The Night Owl [This message has been edited by PoetryIsLife (03-23-2002 09:58 PM).] |
