Unobtainable Heart Her words dance off silvery tongue and partner with your imagination luring you into a seductive trance. She captures you in breathless heats of passion fashioned into syllables and rhyme enflaming your desires as she, the never ending temptress, strews lines you are unable to cross. She consecrates life with the dignity of words that linger like the metallic scent of perfume long after you’ve finished reading. The hopeless romantic, she weaves gossamer threads of letters into webs of poetry entrapping you in quick sliver moments that fleet before your eyes leaving you hypnotized by the fluid rhythm of her work. But on her greatest days, she stands, bared, before you and offers up something she will never give. To love means never to be afraid of the windstorms of life: should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings. ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross |

Lady Hoot... not quite sure what to say about this one... a strong emotional impact that kind of leaves one stunned... empty... like a kid in the candy store without a nickle... only much much deeper. Powerful writing. Peace to you. Andrew |

I think I dated her and all her sisters in High School. Seriously though.. very very good imagery. Brilliantly done. I really like it a lot Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Ruth, I love this one.  So beautful. A pleasure to vote for. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Thank you everyone...although this ranks amoung one of my favorites of my poetry, it does in no way relate to how I feel now. It's nice to post from time to time though and I miss you all |

Unobtainable Heart...hummm.....I'd say a woman who's been hurt and decides to hurt back...maybe? Amazing images you paint of her. Very good writing! I've been involved with the same type of very complex women and I don't know wether I feel sorry for them or me...take care.......ethome..vote is in. |

Good Imagery.. hmm, I like the way you set out the poem.. Hoot. very innovative and yet having such a big impact.. A woman's way of expressing love. very appreciable.. I will give you a vote - James The beauty of nature is displayed, not through itself, but through the creatures dwelling within its bosom. |

WOW! If ever a Web poem, THIS has got to be it. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |
