Mm. Makes statements about broad, true principles in relationships without being abstract or preachy. This poem actually taught me something about writing - themes are easier to swallow when discussed more concretely on a personal level (i.e. the persona's discussion with a pessimist and a hypocrite).

Anyhoo... I really did like it. I'm a big fan of stanzas, however. I know, sometimes FictionPress makes it hard to use them. It looks like that's what happened here. I think it's worth the extra effort to split the poem up. Helps accentuate your statement.

Oh - and the expression of sexuality in sensual terms was absolutely lovely and sad. Well done.

Very.. sensual's the word. I like it.

"Such absolute perfection that I can have under my fingertips."Love that.
