A wind so strong
I can lean against it
A bridge so long
I will never be over it
A tree so high
I can't see the top
I feather so light
I can't make it drop
These are extremes
I can't make undone
And suddenly it seems
I've found another one
I've found a love that's stronger
Than the strongest wind
A love that seems endlessly longer
Than the longest bridge a man opened
A love that's reached a height
Higher than the tallest tree
A love more gentle and light
Than a feather drifting free..
Of all the extremes I can't make  undone
I'm glad that it seems
I'm stuck with this one...

Author's Comments

I know this poem is amazingly corny and probably doesn't even make sense. I was in a romantic mood and thought I would try to write something more visual than my usual stuff.
Comments from other poets would be greatly appreciated.

---------------------------------------- -------------------

PS - I realize attempting to rhyme "it" with itself was poor judgement. The same is true with "high" and "light", but I like to keep the poem as the original - perhaps I will rewrite it if I get much of a response.

"I will never be over it" Perhaps replace it with "I will never cross it" ? Otherwise it seems like a good piece of work :hugs: And welcome back ;)

wow... strange but thats probably one of my favourite poems of yours so far. It's an interesting concept which u havnt explored before ... I think its great when u do something like this to make your poems moreminteresting and different from each other.

The rhymes which u said that you were kinda worried about actually fit quite well with this - it doesnt always need to be absoloutly erfect 'to the tee', the only one which seems kinda out of place to me is:

"I've found a love that's stronger
Than the strongest wind
A love that seems endlessly longer
Than the longest bridge a man opened"

... anyways ... good work ... talk to ya later

Whatever happened to Sex, Drugs & Rock'n'Roll?
Now all we have is AIDS, Crack and Tecno.
:icondesolatedrifter:
the lines silent-screamer mentioned above, i kinda agree on, tho i think it just would sound better as "A love that seems longer Than the longest bridge" or some such

other than that, its a damn good poem

"The world is in pain
and should be put down
and God is a sadist
and that he knows it"

That's good - I like that.

Thanks dude. I may actually change it sometime... If I get the time.
:iconhappy-pill:
yeah, I know.. it took me ages to ponder over and I did consider writing it as you said, but I decided that this one made the most sense.
I'm considering re-writing it, so I shall think about your comment.
Thanks :)
