The Rib

Love at first sight was the language she spoke A sight to behold to the angels she woke A creation with broken mold from the Divine The description of beauty branded in the mind A angelic appearance her presence defines What to do with this spirit? That forever clouds my eye's An ocean that desire could not drain A torment, envy could not name Both heaven and hell she is the same The possession of beauty an undeniable claim A wondering star in the universe of her name Both heat and light brought forth by her flame The invisible force filling my sail Where rudders direction succeed or fail Secret confessions to my soul been nailed my desire to possess and my controls impaled My eyes silence being hailed by souls satisfaction fully regaled The unforgettable sight that memory cannot fail captured by photo or ancient paint brush. Not for sale. Perfection and it's causes Divinely detailed Reflections and its pauses hopes derailed

Makes me glad I wasn't married. She's not the only beauty out there that I have not named or shown this for them. Maybe when I pass and this is printed for me they will get this in their old age and remember I loved them. I'll name them now Heather, Donnetta, Cynthia. Michelle, Sherry and who did I miss....

Love and tragedy of Shakespearian proportion, moved by the sincere gravitas. Robert

Charming and repelling at the same time. Wishing to own, but slipping out of hand.... ! Who is she.... ? A Goddess or demon ? Very emotive ....

Superbly done! Heartfelt description speaks of love and longing never shared, wanting to explore more. You should show it to her her-she will like it.

Sometimes love can be one-sided, and it seems it has happened in your relationship with this person. Some people are very difficult to get along with and it is best to leave them alone. I enjoyed reading this very descriptive and emotive work about your love. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

She's a friend I've known many years. I don't know if I'll let her see this?

There is a mystery and intrigue in your poetry that I find fascinating. It feels like there may be a special woman that is loved, yet hard to understand or know…with heart break involved. Anyway, I enjoyed this!
