I did love this poetry Jacob.
"oh my God, that is not a line of love
I am fishing for something now,
your beauty is to me, like...
I cannot remember what you look like now"
I have written similar words my friend. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

I have no comments but laughter of enjoyment. This is hilarious. I hope that was your intention with this, because the silted progression, the illustrated blockage, and questionable line breaks all add to the brilliance of the theme that is not being able to write a love poem as well as one thought. Even the amateurish flair at certain moments put cherries on top of this golden bit of absurdity. And amidst the despair section - great lines! Great imagery! Well done!

Your muse is going to get my red pen! That last line...I need to correct it! LOL However, Jacob, you DO write love poems. Sometimes what we believe is a forever love is merely a chapter in our lives. It hurts. "I am buried in lonely". Another fantastic line. You truly are on a roll. Lydi**
Sometimes I think it would be good to be a rooster and just start every day with a good healthy scream. I appreciate the humor and slight self-deprecation over the muse. But it's nothing to hang one's head in shame about. You can always retreat to pastoral poetry where the birds and cows; the fields and clouds, the hills and vales, the trees and flowers and things are always less demanding. (laughing) You do wonderful expose' of the human condition, my friend, in all its quirky wonder and delicate beauty. But you leave the thorns on the rose where they grew. It's not the sugary cotton candy looking so big on the stick and melting away to nothingness on the tongue. Your words have substance. Thanks for the smile from this one. I enjoyed.
Well, sometimes actions does speak louder than words :) This was a great poem, sometimes words cant describe the love we feel for someone, but trying and the actions we do well assure them of our love. Thanks for sharing!
Jacob
I love this
I know you sick of me saying I love your writing but I do
I’ll cry it from the mountains
To the depths of the seas
To the mermaids and unicorns
That’s my love poem to your writing !!
