A LONELY MAN ON LOVE, IN DEATH

A LONELY MAN ON LOVE, IN DEATH

A Poem by Miguel

I'm too dead for love

But if you run

You just might catch

That lie that I've chased

All my life.

Wow, it's short but yet so meaningful! A true writer can use a few words or lines to cross a powerful message by his audience. I'm glad that I read this, because it has me thinking about a lot of things dealing with love. It was such a pleasure reading this. I agree with the other comments that the fading of the words makes it more creative and genius. You done an excellent job with this regardless! :)

Aw thanks, Harley :) Glad you like it!
The gradual faintness adds a lot of meaning. Make sure your other poems are not supported by font, though. I like the idea, as long as this is the first time you've used it

Yes, it is, thank you :)
Brilliant, how you have faded the words seems love is within then again, beyond reach, and the lie still remains, utterly fantastic it's like one of those "it's a well known saying" ....... Chance and maybe.

love the emotions going on there. :) from the start, sadness was already portrayed. it was somehow sadder as I read through the whole poem. great job! :))

Walang anuman! i just don't like it. i love it. :)
I really love the way this is layed out to really set the poem's mood, and really whatever people will remember if you said this to them. They will remember the first thing they hear: I'm too dead for love. They will think that you alone are too dead for love. Only a small amount of people will remember the deep meaning after you have said those words: But if you run You might catch That lie that I've chased All my life. Very well done, and a very good metaphor used. Really nice poem, I'd rate it 100/100
