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

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

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.

Thank you, Vijay. Unspoiled territory has much to offer, but very often it's not accessible. Regards // paul
