Fortunate Victim

You kill me Only every time we meet My body stops there for you And my mind falls to pieces You remind me of how I would like to die In a moment of happiness without reason Wanting nothing more Needing only this and you and nothing more I am a fortunate victim Most people don't get the chance To love their murderer

Hi Jeff, a fellow Canuck, Yeah! I really liked the line, "I am a fortunate victim" Reminds me Credence Clearwater. Read below that you have been reading here for a year. (friendly chuckle here) then what in the world took you so long to become a member? :D Okay, so we're an oddball group, known to have the occasional brawl, say too much and laugh to loud... but that shoulda made you wanna join the party earlier... Cheers. Cyndi

Jeff, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Hi thanks for the message good to be on here. I've been reading here for a year and have already enjoyed your work. Constructive criticism is welcome. If I have any poetic skill it is blind luck. I write because I enjoy the process and to see what comes out. I will continue to enjoy your poems, thanks again Jeff
