Array ( [sid] => 37990 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Miles Between [time] => 2004-03-09 16:00:40 [hometext] => A tale of Romance; my tale of distance. (This is a sappy read, and meant only as practice of expression) [bodytext] => She’s no one special in my mind
Yet none can wrench my heart
I dreamt that if we once should kiss
Then that will be the start

There’s nothing about her looks I like
Yet still my eyes are glued
That fragrant trail of midnight hair
Her eyes in mine imbued

It’s almost like a fairy tale
The glass opaque and fog so clear
You’d think I wouldn’t look so pale
I’d known her for eleven years

A voice resonant in my soul
Just speaking lifts my spirits
I can’t explain what takes its toll
In melody-less lyrics

A face so young, a mind ahead
The child remains where wisdom fled
I know her ways, she knows my thoughts
Her eyes reveal my sole distraught

She’s no one special in my mind
She’s always spotlight all the time
As mild toddlers we did start
And none so easily wrench my heart

To hear her smile would mend amiss
So few can sing my heart apart
I once did dream, if we did kiss
We’d still be miles apart…

I didn't find this sappy at all. I found it romantic and loving, with a touch of yearning. I like this style of writing the best by you. There is emotion and feeling in it and I thought it was excellent. Kie

Impressed would be a laughable understatement for me to say right here. Honestly, I didn't see something like this coming from you, but you have done an exceptional job here. Emotions of this nature carry much more impact when embedded in a work of perfect rhythm and heartfelt words.

Truly,
-V.S.

Sappy? If you say so - lol - but charming nontheless.

"The child remains where wisdom fled"

Eloquent and picturesque.

Sappy...lol....I think it's one of your very best. Simple, honest and unassuming. Words from your heart, not your mind ;o)

Very well done

You have practiced well, then, because this is one of your best poems ... sometimes a simpler write packs more of a punch - your R&R is perfect, your emotion is heartfelt ... I enjoyed this read very much ... an excellent write ... Jan
