This is entrapment
Her eyes hold me captive
Remembering her smile enslaves me
Yet…She holds no prisoners
Therefor my heart is on Death-row
I will not appeal
This living without her touch is torture
My nose itches for her scent
The gas chamber is what I look forward to
To hell with my 5 senses
They have conspired against my heart
A love longed for is deadly
Note: Please no I feel sorry for you comments… This is written purely from a poetic stance of many moons ago… I am happily single… I just wanted to write something different and not overload! Thanks you all for the read and for taking time out of your own busy lives…Peace and Plenty Love!

Apologies, Toni, but if the lady of your dreams inspires you to write this, type of “poem”, then you are paining for the wrong muse!

This is such beautiful poetry, I appreciated it for what it is, poetically expressed emotions of intense love. Your note made me aware how it can be taken as coming personally – I realize that often I decide against posting from old drafts for not wanting to be read as anything more than creativee experession, not a reflection of my current emotion 🙂

Infinite I smiled when I knew you got it for what it was: Expressed emotions of intense love! I think sometime we forget, we also have a creative appetite, that sometimes need to be stretch, because we can get burnt out with one writing style or one theme… thank you for an understanding comment…much appreciation!

Michele, I am so glad to be read by you… You have a keen perspective. and you are absolutely correct, this type of poetry is not for the faint hearted! Not many can even be transparent, that a love not return has been traumatic! Thanks for the descriptive that I was aiming for intense feelings, that returned intense pain!

This poem got me thinking. We don’t always get what we want, but sometimes it’s just nice to linger in that place of desirous wants. Imagine never having seen someone that you’re truly interested in. I think that would the worst tragedy of all.

Ok, now I’ve got more thoughts… lol 😁
It’s like seeing a beautiful butterfly. You may never be able to catch it, or enjoy it up close, but maybe it’s better for everyone that you don’t. The butterfly goes free without harm, more people are left to enjoy its loveliness, and you can still enjoy the memory of it in your mind.
Reminds me of a rare butterfly I once saw. I can still see it so clearly in my mind. I don’t think I’ve ever seen another quite as beautiful. I’m one of the lucky ones though because I actually got to see it in person. Books, videos and drawings, can never quite capture the true magnificence of what we can behold in real life.
So… hold onto those memories and always keep your eye out for more. One day that butterfly may just decide to come rest on your hand and stay awhile. 😉
