"To Be Without"
April 23, 2010
My heart was whole
Until my love you stole.
You turned my heart from a picture to a puzzle.
My mind you chose to bumfuzzle.
I will never be as I once was.
You turned me from soft cement to stone.
My love for you is long gone.
I will get my revenge.
I’ll show you what it’s like to be:
A door without a hinge, to be
A boat without the wind, to be
A story without an end, to be
A puzzle without print.

Well I think you're a TRUE poet!!! You definitely impressed me!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank u very much. I've never had anyone critique my work in such a positive way. I appreciate it. :) But I merely write what's on my mind. I feel that I do not write to my full potential. Perhaps one day I will be able to impress myself. Only then may I be a true poet. LOl.
