~Opposite Ends Of Love~  cryptic and mystic...you fascinate me. poetic and prophetic...you enlighten me. fantasize and mesmerize...you captivate me. attraction and distraction...you entice me. exotic and erotic...you seduce me. obsession and confession...you consume me. dedication and affirmation...you promise me. emotion and devotion...you complete me. then you changed... equivocate and exaggerate...why do you lie to me. abregation and recantation...now you deny me. dismission and omission ... you ignore me. humiliate and denigrate...you disgrace me. abdicate and emigrate...you leave me. Imprecate and devastate...you break me. Janet Marie **this was a project for a poetry workshop I took. The assignment was to write on any subject using antonyms and reverse rhyming patterns, its goal was to find as many new words to us as we could...to broaden our vocabulary. My teacher asked what I learned MOST from this assignment...I told him that my lesson from this was that... a poets best friend wasn't just our imagination or inspiration...but also our THESAURUS AND DICTIONARIES!!!!! I got an A...LOL..not for the poem ... but for the lesson learned... (and he gave me extra credit for using the word Imprecate ... and actually knowing what it meant when he asked)...LOL...he was a great teacher and an amazing poet...thanks Mr. C!!! "...she said I dont know if I've ever been good enough...I'm a little bit rusty...and I feel like my head is caving in, and I dont know if I've ever been really loved- by a hand thats touched me, and I feel like somethings gonna give...and I'm a little bit angry... Well...this aint over..NO not yet...not while I still need you around"... matchbox 20 |

janet... you pick your words so approriately... they just fall in the sentences and make complete sense...along with feeling... i was reading each line..and in my mind with the pair of words right from fascination to breaking... you don't have to understand completely..to love completely... remember even the darkest night has a morning to meet...you'll understand someday..Avanti Rao |

WOW! That was totally me. I saw you responded to one of my msgs, so I decided to read one of your msgs. Truly inspirational. What you described, actually, is more or less the inspiration for what I wrote. Thanks for giving me good poetry to read. EMG |

Readiing this reminded me of a bumper sticker I read once, "One is never complete till they're married, then they're finished!" Great poem and excellant word choice, I may add, loved this one. Michael |
