Array ( [sid] => 46069 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Lovers Across an Ocean so Wide [time] => 2004-05-03 20:30:44 [hometext] => Life just loves to drop you along side a deep abyss, while the one you love, and cherish, stands at the other side. Nothing you can do, but stare from afar and admire her... [bodytext] => Planes above that soar overhead
Wings that sail upon a tranquil blue
Engine sings across a sky widespread
To defy the downfall of gravity.
But exhilarating flights can't adhere to the chilling breeze
Nor sail upon these violent, thrashing seas
When all I see is you...

Automobiles caught in rush-hour traffic
Wheels that roll along the asphalt black
Gears grind to supply the fuel to move
But city limit sights can't disappear among the smog so thick
Nor brake to prevent a death so tragic
When all I hear is you...

Bicycle pedals that spin with force
Handlebars that grip and hold on tight
Bells that chime to alarm those on course
But training wheels can't support this teetering life
Nor accerlerate to elude a painful collision
When all I want is you...

And all of man's ingenious creations
And all of life's inevitable transformations
And all of earth's mechanical transportations
Bring the world that much closer
So easy it is to cross the oceans wide
And so effortless to travel without guide

But a sinking ship can't float upon a smitten surface that's cut in two
Nor carry desperate bodies across water so deep
When none of these,
Can bring me to you... [comments] => 8 [counter] => 206 [topic] => 2 [informant] => morelikelyrics [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 27 [ratings] => 6 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

You have such meaning in your poems that simply cannot be explained. A select few can write poems with such meaning. Very good write.

oh wow. This is really good. It has such an impact. Especially the last lines

"But a sinking ship can't float upon a smitten surface that's cut in two
Nor carry desperate bodies across water so deep
When none of these,
Can bring me to you..."

Keep writing! You have REAL talent. Its not seen often so dont let it go to waste!

Wow . . . beautiful and as eloquent (well, almost, but I guess I'm biased in LP's favor :) ) as Lonesome Phonebook. A pleasure to read, vivid, and very well depicted. If your other poems are anything like this and Lonesome Phonebook, I'm definitely a fan.
