Deep within night's dismal hour A forlorn soul does hunt and scour Likened minds he can devour Bartered heart to sell Exchanging hasty words of passion Unsubstantial admiration Metaphysical affection Peddled fairy tale A quest for love that's palpable And yearning for what's tangible Yet, always unattainable His search destined to fail Unmindful of her secret want His egocentric ignorance Solitary insouciance His love, always, for sale Sheila |

How easy some give love for a price. Always wanting something in return. But true love is given unconditionaly. A well woven piece of work. *thanx* mYsTiC |

I am very impressed by your poem! Just a thought: Love or even so-called-love is also about boundaries and if the other person doesn't see them you have to say :STOP. Thanks, Bee. |

Very nicely composed here. A wonderful read! 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 |
