Notes About The Poem

A Hopeless Romantic

meandering
along the hinterland
relentlessly I search 
for innocent love
in the remoteness
of unspoilt territory…
a hopeless romantic
making inroads into
inaccessibility

Ah, such gentle words, Paul. I am ever the hopeless romantic, reading your wonderful lines I feel joy in the heart. My mind takes me into such unspoilt thoughts. You shall never lose any of your skill, Paul. Your pen shall ever run gold, my friend. A definite fav. Have a wonderful Thursday. Your friend always....Mike..

Meandering along the hintereland in unspoilt territory and making inroads into iaccessibility - even a hpeless romantic can't find unspoilt regions or a utopia. However an innocent love will appear where one least expects it.This is a powerful write Paul. Blessings hugs and warm regards. Jennifer.

How profound - a real thinking poem of depth whose simplicity speaks volume. I enjoyed the read very much. Regret I haven't been around more, it's just so hard to find time to be here, there and everywhere on Soup. Please know that I ALWAYS enjoy reading your talent, Paul. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Knowing that you enjoy my poetry is ample satisfaction for me. ~ Regards & Hugs // paul

Wow, your poem and photo go perfectly together, Paul. But I never think of you as a "hopeless" romantic. You seem more like a hopeful romantic! Beautifully penned, my friend. I'll be sending you a regular email. Hugs, carolyn

Paul Callus

Thank you, Carolyn. Probably you are right; I know that love isn't all chocolate hearts and rose petals! Love & Hugs // paul

Hello Paul, yes I would call that a hopeless romantic. I think there a re many like this out there. Regards Darlene

Paul Callus

March 4, 2020 at 2:33 PM

I agree with you, Darlene; hopeless romantics do exist, though to be fair we ought not be disillusioned by false ideals of love!! Thank you for visiting. Regards // paul

You crafted your words in a brilliant way making the inaccessible attainable by your reader.. joining an insightful poet in his quest for "innocent love"!.. Pure Love always finds its way to its roots, its home, its souls.. Love does find us, we do not look for it.. hence its "inaccessibility"! Great work of Beauty, Paul! and an immense pleasure to read. Best regards. God bless you.
