That dear melodious companion,
Whom God named man,
Fervently desired my heart.
But I am one to have shied away,
Still I paced endlessly in my room; distraught
By the sound of your pulsating, rhythmic words--
Words of passion and that which you so certain call love.
Love is a term used by fools, that corrupts and so ironically
creates scorn.
I thought I knew better than to fall for those cadences,
Poems made to rhyme words of adoration;
And by all means draw me out of my shell,
But all they did was weaken that shell.
I did well to recoil from those thoughts,
That possibly would have brought me doom.
Many of those thoughts were banished deep
Into the core of my ragged and dismantled heart,
And still the ones that remained, sufficed
To inundate me with wistfullness and hopes
That I too, would crave your company.
No,
I failed miserably and now I dare
Speak words to remedy your broken soul,
I comfort you in saying that my next words
Will only consolidate what we have, But I
Was too proud to admit;
And now your mesmorizing voice
Has destroyed any hopes my scorn has
Of tearing us apart.

ok i'm back. i read through it slower this time. rereading every line and disecting it. i like to do that with really great poems.
he told her that he loved her and she pulled away, thinking that love was no use to her, it only causes scorn in the end. but i think deep down, she was truly afraid to love. b/c when you love someone, you put yourself in a vulnerable place... you become so vulnerable that its easy to get hurt. and to me, deep down she was afraid to get hurt and that was the subconcious reason for pulling away from him. but then here comes his voice again and she hoped she wouldn't fall for him, hoped that she could distance herself, but she can't because theres no use in denying it - she loves him!
"And now your mesmorizing voice
Has destroyed any hopes my scorn has
Of tearing us apart."
-the scorn has lost the battle! and love conquers all!

I read it thrice to get the true meaning behind this and somewhere i found that LOVE is LOVE and in the end it cannot be hidden, it just blossoms like a rose...can anyone hide the fragrance of a rose??
A lovable read....

You are the poem master. You are the poem queen. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO USE SUCH BEAUTIFUL WORDS? You are magnificent. This poem was magnificent. Your word choice was brilliant, and the meanings behind all of them were just so...heartfelt (?) See I'm horrible with words. I really loved the emotion put into it also. *sigh* I hate to see YOU being the one to make money but...
I agree with Alice.
:D

Wow, this poem deeply touched me. It was very good, and I could just se it al perfectly in my mind. very good poem. I loved it. =D

well after reading i found your poem breathtaking. The words and images are perfectly mastered. You show great control over an emotional subject. It feels like you fall in love despite yourself. So you try to flee from love because your afraid of being hurt, but still that leads to pain, and despite your attempts to avoid your feelings, you fall in love. a beautiful love poem!!
Posted: Jun 8, 2008
Wow! This poem is awesome! Good job!!!!! :)
Posted: Jun 8, 2008
Yeah, seriously wow! Love is a strong word to use and you expressed that really well in this poem. My boyfriend tells me I love you all the time, but I have yet to really return that saying, because we are still in the awkward phase of our relationship, because we were friends before that, and I don't want to say it until I truly mean it.
