This time I cannot forget
the lack of you
the pain unmet
like no other
pain before
compounded by
my unknocked door.

Not this time
I can't forgive
the ice of you
I caught in sieve
while panning for
a trace of gold
touch abhorred
now sale of soul...

I draw my cloak
about my neck
and lace my boots
against the trek
no sight set
on future path
be blind to
any future lack.

Through the forest,
cross the sand,
mountains still
to understand
like the lemming
drawn to sea,
step by step
creeps death
of me...

Well lovey...I find myself liking this very much...it has your usual touch of unbearable melancholy that makes me want to run and hug you. What a shame I'm on the other side of the world eh my friend?

I am of course going to crit you...cause I have to yanno...

Love the first three lines...BUT - not sure the verse lines over all aren't too short...
if you made the lines longer your verses would be shorter that's true...

You have some interesting imagery here...nice metaphors...

BUT

this:

on future path
be blind to
any future lack

blech dear. It's blech.   'be blind to'? I dinna like it!!!!!!!!! rotf...

A question - why'd you omit all your a's' and the's??

Just curious...

So there you go...my lofty opinion...~grin~

I am a refugee of logic...insisting

I feel strange saying I like a poem the poet didn't like. But I do like it - especially the first verse. I know that unknocked door quite well - it hurts like hell.
