What does show is emotional depth and an understanding of the human heart. Even a simple obsession can be enough to pull you from the depths of despair. Darkness isn't always weak. This is very good.

Thanks so much for your kind review.
Comment from dragonpoet
Hi Heather,
This is a well done free verse about the speaker's view of the perfect man for her. It seems he is caring, persistent, almost selfless, almost a savior. But he does not love her. It does seem he has some darkness that allows him to keep the speaker from falling into it.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great day.
Joan

WOW!! I'm not sure from this contest entry if this man is real or a dream. Either way, this man is very dark, but I can see how he would impact your life. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

He's real. He's a heavy metal singer I like, but despite having problems of his own his very empathetic to his fans and open when talking about mental health.
Thanks for reading.

Grest entry for the poem about a Man contest. It's sad and relatable.... very well done, Heather. It's very interesting. I think it's about a Man with some kind of disorder... maybe ADHD. My 6 years old grandson has it.
Well done, good luck in the contest!

He does have ADHD! Wow! How did you guess that? I thought it wasn't too obvious.
Thanks for reading.

a lucky guess :)
Comment from Jesse James Doty
So, he is not real then, right? A man of your dreams who captures the essence of your life and love while you look in the mirror at yourself you belong to him and not to yourself. This is sad, and not too out of the ordinary since so many people dream of a man or woman who can be all their hopes and dreams. I know how you feel. You are not alone. We are all in this together, my friend.

He is real, but just a heavy metal star so I don't know him. However he's very kind to his fans despite his own struggles.
Thanks for your review.

You're welcome, Maria.
If he is kind to his fans, that says much about his character.

Indeed. I have another favourite singer who is just the opposite. I try to concentrate on his voice and forget how mean he can be sometimes.
-
Sometimes we have to divide the voice from the character of a singer.
-
True. One of our best tenors, Placido Domingo, was accused of harassment some years back. I think he's lost most of his singin contracts as a result. It's a thin line...
-
Yes, it is a thin line.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
You read my thoughts, Maria! This needs those stanzas because it's a bit too long without. As ever, your free verse is so appealing and I'm completely captivated by your dream and want to meet him too! I also like the way you introduce your own personality here, always questioning yourself and this guilty pleasure. Wonderfully fluent as though you sat down and the words flowed effortlessly. Well done and good luck! Debbe

Thanks for this kind review, Debbie. I don't know what happened to the original verses. I tried to fix the problem a couple of times and then I gave up.

Fortunately for me there's no man that is perfect, which, believe it of not, is good for me, because I know I am equal with all men, except of Course, when as a man, God had to be perfect for the sins of everyone, and He is perfect in humility, and subjection to His Father, being the perfect servant, whoopee, sorry Maria,, great poem, blessings Roy
