Utopia Lost

True love lost direction when bloomed my affection for you, who magically weave word decidedly smitten by your comic verse written my long-dead emotions were stirred Chats online yours and mine the order of the day word-sparring and witticism rhyming and rhythm intoxicating; who needs rosé? By poetry joined rich phrases we coined muuuchly our lives intertwined o'er miles merged our aura with a burning urge for a naked horizontal align When in waltzed a skirt you hit pay dirt a writer within her own right my utopia thwarted firm resolve faltered my love remains steadfast despite

The hard knocks of life, tell you what Licia, this is a wonderful piece of work, both moving and explaining, I don't do chatting but I've always known how words can overcome almost any obstacle. Love this. Take care, Richard

Delysia, Didn't your mother ever teach you to never fall in love with poets? We're a fickle bunch of dreamers! You need to find some rich guy who's down to earth instead of having his head up in the clouds like some of us. (Well, like me, anyway:) PS: This was a sadder read the second time around. I'm beginning to feel your heart beat. And keep smiling - Mr. Right is bound to show up sooner or later:) Cheers, Terry

I love how you combine so few words, yet they say so much, and then some. Very enjoyable.

"D": I owe you ONE BIG FAT THANKS A MILLION for your recent comment on "Thinking Myself Unborn." As good as I (humbly) thought it was myself, THIS poem, Utopia Lost, puts me back in the basement of poetry once again. It's quite simply BEAUTIFULLY written and I bow to your exquisite use of language. Kudos - Terry
