Unobtainable

Chasing emptiness …….

Unobtainable

Unrequited infatuation

Never is healthy to pursue

Only leads to heartache

Becoming a sour brew

Trespassing on a closeness

Anti-social and taboo

Intrusive in its nature

No future in this queue

Aloneness is the outcome

Being unjustly askew

Let the notion go forever

Eject concept and don’t review

Author's Note

In an acrostic poem, the first letter of each line spells a word. The word is the subject of the poem.

I only recently grew out of the idea that poems HAVE to rhyme. And I while I no longer find it necessary, a rhyming poem is still my favorite kind. That you got your point across under the constraints of so many requirements, in such a mature and seemingly effortless way...
(I was going to say how much I admire it, but then I realized I've been rhyming. So basically making a poem about how much I like yours.)
The gist of what I wanted to say is that this is beautiful and I appreciate every single facet and layer. Just... brilliant.
(Also, I really like the picture)

Brilliant, well done on this one

I haven't read such acrostic ever. Loved the rhyme and the lines.

[Jon Roggie]

I already like the write.
You introduced me to the acrostic poem form
I was curious about the rhyme pattern.
Is this a personal style?

what a wonderful write, acrostic plus the clarity of the message about a one sided love... wonderful

[Ardra]

Sometimes.... our heart chases and we are hopeless in that case... :)
It's a beautiful pic to accompany such a wise poem...
Wish it was only easy to follow those words isn't it..Phill...

This inspired me to revisit acrostics. I haven't thought about doing one in a long time but I think it's actually quite a challenge. Once I gave it some thought at least.

so true the unobtainable of love does not want from someone who offers it up freely to them. Heartfelt, raw and true.
