With only flaws that fit
You’re my perfect equal
Yet not easy to outwit
But there is one towering hurdle
Which I think I can’t omit

I could describe you physically
Name each feature in turn
But speaking of our sacred bond
Is something I’ve yet to learn
It’s wanting to define ‘hunger’
Without using this term

So while struggling for words
That would portray your value
There’s an ache within my chest
As reality bites right through
Then, falling to old habits,
I weakly smile at you

One day I must relinquish
My hold on what is fraud
And with one I can truly touch
Replace this whole façade
But to be deprived of you
I deem to be too hard

So I continue my delirium,
And realism I discard.

Wow, this perfectly describes the first time I fell in love. Literally, word for word. Especially the first two lines.

The word I used to describe that sacred bond however was 'adoration', defined as:

1. the act of paying honor, as to a divine being; worship.
2. reverent homage.
3. fervent and devoted love.

Excellent poem, it really got through to me!

what a poem! just brilliant thru your own style.
i agree with phil... the first lines are incredible.
but the last two are profound, but shouldnt be conclusive realistically speaking...

take care
