      Into the siren wilds
    Climbed the vagabond madrigal he
  Ever seeking for one true eternal spring

  Head high staring down the sun
    Eyes burning addiction heralds on
      Assuages then burns black living eye
        Reeling blind maddened downward fall
          Torn pieces he awaits sols burning fate

very well done..
impressive imagery and vocabulary choices.
unique presentation of acrostic form

Heaven bound on wings of love,
there's so much that you can rise above.
I surrender heart and soul,
sacrificed to a higher goal.

"staring down the sun" brings this poem to life. A nicely written piece ~ thank you.

ice hearts freeze
in moonswept breeze
while passions are in drift.
your lines entwine
'til hearts will cease,
and others soon will lift.
ice hearts
ice hearts
so cold, on shores
of freezing wamth....
hope yours endures.....

thanks for the inspiration... hope you don't mind my spontaneous verse as a reply.... your poem was very well written and had important messages woven in the stanzas and lyrical quality of it....

thank you for the read

Thanks to all. Your comments are quite kind.

As for the spontaneous verse: I really like that. I do much the same. And it is very pleasant to inspire any words.

Thanks again.
