A female South Africa age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Dear people, I'm in need of your very honest opinion.

I wrote the following poem from the heart and before I give it to that someone, I just needed to know what other people think of it, any comment will be highly appreciated. Below is the poem

BECAUSE OF YOU

From the moment you entered my world

A lot of agony faded, all the shadowed happiness came to light

Without doing much you created a miracle

Because of you I have perseverence I didn't know existed

Through my impatience I can wait a lifetime,

just for a moment with you

Through my flaws and all the imperfections you overlooked,

You've made me a better person.

Unaware, you've taught me more than you'll ever realise

I've never been so tolerant

And because of you I can now see why troubles are merely a stepping stone

Because of you i've learned to appreciate all the little things I have

I can now see the bigger picture and never will I regret the day

our eyes met nor the day I put my heart in the line,

all because of you

I love you, your idiosyncrasies and all the sides you possess

Even the stone cold side and all the others that only I see.

Seeing how far we've came only gives me hope

And makes me realize how sorry I am for all the pain I unwittingly cause

for it brings even more misery to me

In my silent world and through all my silence

all your amiable words echo in the background,

Awakening my world to the ever so magnificent sound of your voice

making every bit so devine.

I cannot say I have your heart, giving it away is a chance you

are not ready to take but i'll never be resentful of that

because you have two, yours and mine

And although I never confess, I admire your strenght and all your courage

I know it hasn't been easy.

You showed me a different world and it's because of you my heart is so strong

You helped me understand a part of you, and for that i'm grateful.

How I love losing myself in you,

How amazing it is when our souls become one

It's like walking hand in hand to heaven

Having you by my side has made me all that I am

The love I feel for you is an emotion so intense it's almost hypnotic and

be it returned or not, I'm thankful for you gave me someone to love.

PNS

PS: The flow and the tone of the poem is great. Several times you change tune in mid flow and then start singing in a different voice. This is great, it feels like we are watching somebody making mistakes, giving up, then getting up and trying again.. Your tone of voice is beautiful and hits hard on the emotional level.

OK you want honest criticism I suppose, so I'll try and give it.. The poem overall is very sophisticated, and it's very pretty and it is clear to see that it describes things that have actually happened in your life..

But now lets look at it more carefully..

"shadowed happiness"... now this is really confusing, it's beautiful, it makes you stop and think.. Don't change it... It's a big punchline, it tells the reader to stop and think because this is not an easy poem.. How can happiness be "shadowed"..

"perseverence I didn't know existed".. I don't like the word existed, it takes away some of the magic and the impact that you've been showing in the rest of the poem.. could you find a better word.. but if not leave it. Existed is ok, but not up to the great standard of the rest of the work.

"Without doing much you created a miracle".. please reword this...keep the word "miracle", but change the wordings because again it's not up to the standard of everything else... The rest of the poem has emotional impact, the word miracle has emotional impact. But the sentence itself doesn't work for me, it's like a sentence that's been put in to fill in some gaps.. Please reword it, so it flows with the rest of the poem...

But otherwise, Bravo, author, Bravo, I felt an intense connection with your words. So much hope, and then sadness, understanding, acceptance and then back to hope again. Bravo you are a very good poet. You choose your words carefully, they say a lot and have emotional impact.. and you nearly made me cry... GRRRRRRR

PS: Use a spell checker, some of your spelling is wrong and it spoils the dramatic and emotional impact of the poem.. But it's very good, very, very good, thank you for sharing it with us all... Ms anonymous is right, it might just be enough to get paid. Please continue with your hobby, don't give up, your words are very real and touching to me and many others...
