i kno u said not to review but i HAVE to! this is awesome! its amazingly powerful and beautiful and you obviously put your heart and soul into it... thank u 4 writing it! its helped me alot somehow i feel...inspired lol thnx

Words are not enough for this beauty so I've compiled a list of quotes from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)that shed some light on my feelings after reading this--The heights charm us, but the steps do not;with the mountain in our view we love to walk the plains.

For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him he must regard himself as greater than he is.

To know someone here or there with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distances or thoughts expressed ~

That can make life a garden.

One ought, everyday, to hear a song, read a fine poem, and, if possible, to speak a few reasonable words

Rest not! Life is sweeping by; go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time.

If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.

The man with insight enough to admit his limitations comes nearest to perfection.

Aw, you write so good! Ah! I can't remember what I was going to say... But I loved it!

really beautiful poem and very true. great imagery and wonderful verses. loved the way u sorta ended almost every verse with the word 'enough'. in depth feelings, excellent!

I totally agree with the other reviewers. How can "just" reading...be enough? This is great. I loved it.

Ok, I'm sorry...I know you said not to, but...AH! This is so amazing. It's incredibly expressive and heartfelt and...wow.

Even more sorry, but in a poem this close to perfect, all flaws must be found and terminated. In the second verse, it seems like you're saying the thoughts are teasing and taunting whoever you're talking to, so you might want to throw a "me" somewhere in the second line. Also, "silly" and "stupid" seem too informal for this; maybe pick more sophisticated-sounding words? Not trying to be snobby, just saying.

"Gold and jewels of great beauty and worth:" this line seems stiff to me, and not as wonderfully expressive as the rest of the poem. Also, you repeat the word "mine" in this verse, and I'm a bear for repetition errors, so...

I don't like "the distance from East to West." Somehow it doesn't seem hugh enough for what you're trying to say. Maybe you could make it farther.

Last things, I promise; the lines "trying to say what I feel" and "I think it's useless" seem off to me. The first is somewhat trite and touchy-feely, which is shame in such a beautiful poem, and the second is too undecided. Never use "I think" in a poem that holds so much conviction.

Please understand, I say all this because I love the poem so much, and I say nothing good because my fingers would fall off before I managed to type all the good stuff.Also, you have a couple of unnecessary grammar errors which MUST be eliminated. It's a crime to have mechanical errors in such a beautiful piece. Stunned as always, pointythings

I want to review it, though i'm not sure what to say. It is a very deep and emotional peice. WD

You discovered the secret to getting reviews. Just tell people not to. I have to say that this is a very beautiful poem. Besides this isn't a review it is a compliment. :)

my feeling is mutual to what the other two reviewers said before me... it's just too great a poem not to... use repetition was excellent.

please DON'T review? are you insane? of course i'm going to. great poem, i enjoyed it a lot! :-)

i know that you said not to review but i have too. that was great! the best poem i have read in a long time. i now know how you feel, you made everything so clear. keep writting i can't wait for more!
