Power of love; yes, only power of love can change everything
A vivid and brilliant portrayal of the power of love. A great poem.
A piece of great elegance with wonderful rendition of words to utmost justice. A masterful creation.........

Very mind enticing poem, loved how it's crafted in a contradictory way, it stimulates the mind's desire and passion quite well. Loved this poem! RoseAnn
Paradox is a key device in crafting good poems.I really appreciate the poet this device into play to grab attention.Fire could not melt ice, which could not extinguish fire.A great poet
very cool but not iced poetry she must be cold not like you warm some women are like radish and cabbage
I love this poem; it is so beautiful! it hooks the reader right away, and completely blows one's mind.
A very powerful poem. Unrequited love, boundless passion. So sad it sometimes is this way, and there's no justification for the emotions that won't fade.
Great work of art
