' How Do I Reach You? Poem by Linda Ori

Indeed a great question to think about! Putting in words what we feel for others to understand and appreciate is not in our hands. But over flow of feeling in poems it can be achieved sometime! Best wishes for your great venture!

'I would die a thousand deaths To think you never knew Just how much you mean to me............. But how do I reach you? ' A profound love poem, I love the above lines most.

So much emotion flows thru this poem, without losing control. Really well written Linda. You convey sentiment without drowning in verbosity, a rare skill indeed!

Finding ways to convey the emotions to the adored one is always difficult and one remaines in the state of confusion unless and untill those emotions are spilled. Another state of mind encroaches that what would be the reaction of the concerned party? So all these are rather natural thougths that overwhelm a human being in such state. Best Wishes Naseer

That, sweetheart, hits the nail right on the head. I remember when Ez proposed to me; (me being the eternal runner-awayer from commitment) : he said something like, I know that if I asked you to marry me that you'd run a million miles, but would you spend the rest of your life with me? There's a balance to be struck, perhaps, and the agony of knowing where to strike it is perfectly encapsulated here. t x

This poem still touches a chord after all these years.Well done Linda.

A sense of overwhelming emotion and no way of getting to or through to the object of such intense affection.... It's a dire strait to be in... convincingly, powerfully and lyrically portrayed as always.... xxx

Linda how saddeningly beautiful. So much depth to the one wanting only to be able to love the other. How wonderfully expressed.

I loved your approch. God bless you.

I live in indecision - in limbo as shipwreck
