i dont think im done with this one yet...but i would just like to see what yall think so far. theres something wrong with it too i think but i cant quiet put my finger on it. thanx, tiff

ive never touched you
ive never tasted you
yet somehow i find that i love you

i yearn just to hold your hand
then nothing else would matter
just to be by your side
...is that too much to ask?

ive never looked into your eyes
ive never seen your soul
yet still i find that i love you

i yearn just to be with you
then nothing else would matter
just to have u inside of me
for with out u i am "completely incomplete"

You portrayed your feelings very well in this piece, knightly.  You did a nice job of expressing yourself.  I enjoyed this.
Nicely done.

I love Lifehouse!!
And I thought this poem rocked.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I like the format of this, it's a great idea that should be gone with.  It's one thing to separate stanzas by technical structure (which you did as well!), but what you have demonstrated is something difficult to do, separation of stanzas by theme.  

The three line stanzas have a confused nature about them, and can be taken in several ways perhaps, due to the nature of their phrasing.  You could be saying this definitely, as a statement, or you could be expressing confusion about your own situation.  It's very vague, and I like that a lot.

The structure of the quatrains is also ingenious, the way you reuse the beginning like that.  Just stupendous, very very good job.  

My advice for you?  Keep what you have, but change "Ive" to "I've."  It's the correct way that the word is spelled.  

I would add either eight or nine more stanzas to this, depending on whether you wanted to end with a three liner or a quatrain.  

It's up to you, but I definitely look forward to seeing the end product.      I see a lot of potential in you, and am very glad that you decided to join Passions in Poetry.  From what I've seen by you, your ability to create formats is very admirable.
