amazing are the stars, that fill the eyes of a woman in love,

broken is the heart of a man, who has been turned away,

crowded are the stairways of the souls, searching the fisted glove,

dichotomous minds each separating, between month and day,

emulating the desires, that never seem to be quite filled,

forever left behind in the wake, of the steamy encounters,

gratification comes so close to the edge, of tears that spilled,

humbling the spirit of drive, as she casually saunters

in and out of her trances, thus requiring a special technique,

just as your about to capture, the flag of your quest,

keeping your head above the line, you get just one peek,

lovers separated, never owned, still merely a guest

might as well step into the path, of an oncoming fist,

never was any remote chance, that this would be resolved,

over and over the words are repeated, like reading a list,

permanently bringing injury to the dreamers involved

quietly, you grab your bags of lost promises and regrets,

resolving to the facts, that are right in front of your face,

securing the one of you dreams, don't be placing your bets,

trying to hard, seeking too much, another time, another place

underlining the failures, that are displayed on the page,

verification of these unwanted responses, we certainly don't need,

when oh when, can this heartache release built up rage,

xylem pumping the fluid, will it finally bleed

you're standing there now, with nothing to show for the time,

zanyism is quite commonly blamed for the entire episode.

I did it!!! Iwas able to read the whole thing while resisting the urge to peek at the 'Z' word, and it was just right. 50 years ago a little blonde with stars in her eyes broke my heart. I thought I'd look her up last night on Facebook... right, there are 940 people with her exact name!

What a great poem encompassing the many experiences of love. I like the way you blame it all on the zany, which reminds me of your many crazy writings. Very well written.

David, what a beautiful poem you have written ...unfortunately it is about heartache as well as love...
I like this more serious side of you as well as the humorous...

[Dutch Jr.]

How hard was it to write this? This was extremely creative, and very well-written. I didn't even notice the ABC order until after I read this the first time, which is a good thing; your poemflows naturally. Awesome job.

Your new nickname is G-Man...lol
