He closes his eyes to swallow the pain All emotion in winter slumber sleeps For beauty he would not, could not profane Her whom Aphrodite close to breast keeps Sad how the most beautiful thing in flight By a breath of the gods and of their wills Transformed to a thing that fills all of sight Hurts so much to look upon, that it kills For to capture and hold her close he yearns In a solemn prayerful voice he implores For this thought and for her beauty he burns His mind a sea of thoughts thus unexplored Painful thoughts of her, she remains yet free Wanting to touch, and yet not meant to be |

I didn't know it was possible for pain to be written so beautifully... but this nose-pressed-to-window-of-a-room-without-doors yearn is pure bittersweet beauty. Magnificent!!! |

Let not your heart be broken, for love and time heals all wounds  ....A Beautiful expression of pain... but sad that you are hurting so.... (seems you and I are going through the same, that is why I posted my last poem as well) just a bad day for romantics, I guess... ~Warm Hugs ~ARH |

Yes, I like it very much those whisperings of inner struggles and mystic out of reach. Very nicely done! Eric |

Yo dear Chalmette Guy, I don't know Hon. Somehow this eluded me entirely. Of course, I'm a little slow, all us city guys are. Love Bobby |

When she is ready, and if it is written in the stars, she will come to you...  You are an exceptionally fine, emotive writer! Linda |
