Thanks again to Jeannie Minor. We're not exactly sure what kind of poem this is. The way it was constructed, was I sent here two verses and she put her lines between my lines,as if to echo my thoughts with her thoughts. We hope you can figure it out and enjoy it. Peace my friends:)

To speak the unspeakable Will I ever get to tell you The truth will set you free How much you mean to me To think the unthinkable Just to think about you A you and me fantasy Sets my spirit free To hear the unhearable I long to whisper softly Words not meant for me The softest "I love you" To touch the untouchable hunger for your soft caress Unknown ecstasy That says you love me too To want the unattainable you don't belong to me Trying to succeed But know I'm always here To restrain the unrestrainable Fighting to respect the vows Walls internally Of virtue held so dear To dream the undreamable It's not reality Stretching boundaries But hope will keep me strong To foresee the unforeseeable Until the day I find myself A date with destiny With you, where I belong

Verse would work.

Yes. It was her idea. I thought it turned out pretty good. Do you know what kind of poem you would call this? Dialogue is not a choice!
