    Breathless but not entirely Speechless

    Your words always have a way of leaving me breathless when i read your poetry. When you write, it feels that each individual girl that reads the poem can insert herself into the girl that youre writing about.

    I would have to say that my favorite lines in this were:
    i took my place by your side.
    " would those gorgeous lips be mine "
    [.. if only for tonight... ?

    It showed emotion and possibly a side of a guy that only a special few ever get to experience.
    Keep blowing my mind away babe.

    Beautiful metaphorical language, a collection of brilliant lines that unfolds into a story. You took really epic lines and made them connect so well. Really beautiful, difficult poem to write. And of course, the artistic characters are entertaining also. Brilliant poem Good luck!
