grant me this fortress
from small tries at
capitalizing on external beauty

it works!
for a while
but after the picture
is no longer in motion for me
and the glories of the paycheck
have expent

the fortress proves temporary
because then you show me
that without the fame and glory
and drug parties and such
your pedestal of honesty
demands a longevity my fortress
cannot sustain.

you fell for me
for my pictures on a tube
you sensed my eyes showed truth
you persevered
in all attempts to gain someone
"out of reach"

never realizing that the
reach was only out for me
you can never believe you
able to have such a public love

and yet i can see the love
without the public's stay
for this icon you've chosen
is easier obtained
than the icon's icon believing
he's less

Understood. As difficult as it is for these words to be truth in your line (for others), I do believe you truthful. A nice poem of honesty. Thanks.

Thanks to Tier for bumping this
Missed it first go-round

Wow! Usually it's the one in love with the public icon that gives the unattainable message, but here you, whom I've figured out to be a movie "icon", show that the fame does not taint the truth of compassion. This was simply beautiful, and all should read. Hope this works out, truly!!! Thanks for the poem, Eve!
