You池e Beautiful,
Tangible.
Forbidden fruit,
So ripe and sweet.

So alluring,
Fascinating,
Smiling.
Just Beautiful.

Cannot get you,
Out of my Mind.
Cannot let you,
Go in my dreams.

So close to you,
Never close enough.
He has your heart,
I知 left with your smile.

I see you all the time,
You池e so friendly,
Lovely.
It hurts inside.

Pain you値l never see,
I値l never share.
I値l adore from afar,
And stay your Friend.

This is a from the heart kind of thing, inspired partly by the song "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt. This is more personal than I usually share. Kind of a lament to beauty out of reach.

I know Exactly where you're coming from with this.
That hidden pain is something you can only know from experience.

Well Done, you captured the feeling beautifully :worship:

"He has your heart,

Oh, the dearest of tragedies.

I really like the way you're able to express such powerful longing and feeling in so few words! I also like the use of phrasing and breaks in the 3rd stanza--the parallel structure between the lines really has an impact.

Thank you very much for your comment, I find it hard to judge the impact of my words. I'm always glad to hear someones opinion, good or bad. So thank you for letting me know what you thought.

I hate reading my own poems because I cant tell if it has the effect I want.

Yet, you write and perform excelently. I love your words. :clap:
:iconbarastol:
I know what you mean, I'm usually very in the moment when I write my poetry, generally it just flows out in one quick flurry of the pen (I never write poetry directly on the computer, it's always pen & paper in my journal.) and I never know if anyone else will get it. and sometimes when I go back I don't get it... those I keep in the journal, others I share.
