I'm confused on this one, Mikey, as I sure agree with your notes, but I've spent much of my adult life wishing I'd 'got together' with a gorgeous (in mind and looks) lady friend of mine, some thirty years ago.

There was a slight problem, as she was deeply in love with a friend of mine, and married him. Oh...and I never even hinted to her of my deep love.

So, apart from those minor problems, everything went great. ;-)

Excellent 242 and notes.

Cheers, Ray.

    Jeesh. There are those ones that are pretty damn tough to take. I still think on the whole, I wouldn't trade any of it in. I've got one of those thirty years ago ones two. Damn, what were we thinking? Then there was my horrible first wife's sister. Wrong choice there. Oh well, I'm young ... and deluded. LOL mikey

I must admit that I agree with you to a point, feeling that never having known love would be the greatest sorrow of all. Yet, unrequited love is a debilitating hurt, outweighing all else. Thanks for sharing another of your deep thoughts. :-)

    Yep, it's a killer. But you get over it. I can't imagine not remembering some of the loves I've had. I'm very lucky and I've known a lot of blind chicks I think. HAHAHA! Glad you liked this. mikey

You're the fardest thing to a romantic fool that I have ever known. And I love you (like a sister) for it. You only see the best in people. You love unconditionally. You have the passion and the burning desire of a thousand Suns. Your touch must be gentle and but strong(this part is kind of creepy coming from a sister). Your humor lifts my spirit beyond. Your ardorous romantic heart leaves gentle memories on the one you love. And darlin'.... whoever is the fool that doesn't requit your passionate love...It's the foolish of them all. If your love was for me and me only, if I was not deeply and truely in love with another man, I would Chase you to the end of the world.

Luv ya, you romantic hot bard.

Or, as has also been said, "Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all". This brought back all sorts of memories, many from a young age probably weren't love at all just infatuation. Others were and though one is hurt at the time, it is possible to look back on that heady feeling with joy.

    I think it's all real. I looked up my very first love 35 years later and it was real. LOL I agree, I don't regret any of it. mikey

Hi Mikey;
-this works well and looks like it's written like a haiku with to definitively interconnected first two lines that are full of imagery that are descriptive and expressive and a satori which definitely gives the reader that aha moment and the writing and expresses spontaneity of excitement and also summarizes the relativity of the conceptual theme.
-A great picture to go hand-in-hand with your poem and it's writing.
-Good luck in the contest and have a good one and take care.
Alex

Just like most things in my life, I have found that the unrequited loves turned out for my best. When I hear of the mess many of the guys made of their lives which I did not have to deal with, Patricia

You are a very wise person, Mikey, I am sure most people would love to know how it feels to love, then never know that wonderful, painful, ecstatic feeling. Excellent contest entry, my friend. Well done and Good luck! xsx Sandra

    Aww. Thanks. I define wisdom as making all kinds of mistakes so that you can advise people how not to do things. LOL

    Thanks, Mary. It's not to difficult actually. Just download an image to paint and type the text on to it. Then get a free photobucket account, download it to there. Then you can download from photobucket straight to advanced editor. Takes a little practice, but I'm no tech wizard, believe me. Let me know if you want some help with it. Thanks so much, mikey

Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.
I get your 'full soul'.
There's no such thing as a broken heart. Cupid's arrows' hits, shallow or deep, are only war wounds.

Good luck in the contest.
