Love is a many splintered thing

by RainbowSlider   Oct 2, 2005


I tried to touch your petals
but was pricked by your thorns.
Your fragrance was fresh
and you was so fair.
I tried feel your heart
but my fingers came back frostbitten.
I offered you my heart
and you asked your friends if they
would like it medium or rare.
Your beauty possessed me
and you acted if you didn't care.
I looked into your eyes
and could not see my reflection
but a blank glare.

    Hey, I've noticed how many of my poems you have read and commented on. Wanted to thank you for that. Also, I think you have some fabulous stuff. Has the thought of letting a few publishers look at your work ever crossed your mind? I like the anecdotal value of this poem and the expressions you used, whether similies or metaphors it seem's you've got imagery cracked! Lots of love and respect, Tom

    This caught my attention because the title is the first line in my own poem, Eden Quest-I love the play on well known sayings.(though in line 4 you may want to change 'was' to 'were')This has some very unique phrasings that work so well.This piece says a lot.I especially like the ending.Great poem
