Notes About The Poem

Ah, Alas

withholding...
     raging avalanche
      of perfervid feelings
        that can never be expressed. 
          his heart hijacked
           at very first glance. 
          a pocketful of dreams to share.
         much too much to confess. 
        yet, he'll hold his tongue
       in perpetuity. 
      alas, she belongs...
     to someone else.

Heartbreak so well captured in a few taut lines. One wonders what the forlorn chap will tell? Congratulations! Brian

Wonderful clarity of vocabulary--raging avalanche of perfervid feelings--his heart hijacked at very first glance--a pocketful of dreams to share--much too much to confess. His dilemma you so succinctly conveyed.
