Daniel Turner Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

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:)

Echoes of the Heart Collaboration With Jeannie Minor

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

Jill Spagnola March 22, 2016 at 6:46 PM What a beautiful collaboration..it reads as if you were physically sitting side by side, whispering into each other's ear, dialectically...peace to you two :), jill Daniel Turner March 22, 2016 at 7:01 PM No it was all done by email.

Lin Lane March 22, 2016 at 4:28 PM Very interesting construction and it works quite well...a poetic conversation. Lin Lane March 22, 2016 at 4:40 PM Verse would work. Daniel Turner March 22, 2016 at 4:30 PM 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!
