"I felt a stark intensity as we
lost ourselves in each other's longing eyes,
each knowing that we must, we will..."

I felt a strong intensity as we...
     I strongly felt that...
          I desperately hope that as we

gazed into each other's yearning eyes
     shared in a moment of...
          that considering our moment together

you knew as I did that we must...
     it might lead us to...
          that you could also feel...

"I desperately hope that,
considering our moment together,
you may have noticed I exist."

Please remember that Authors are looking for feedback (both positive and negative). If leaving praise, or a critique, please try to qualify your comments - something a little more elaborative than 'Good job', or 'A Bit Boring' is generally encouraged. Please remember this is a creative writing site, so comments should always relate to the style of writing and the content, rather than a discussion about the views expressed.

Thank you all for the comments and encouragement. This was suppose to show self doubt at work, changing the bold quoted comment in the beginning into the timid quoted comment at the end, as each line is reworked and edited in the light of self doubt. I’d hoped the indentation and unfinished sentences would make this editing process more clear, but it doesn’t seem to have helped. Maybe strike-through text would have worked better. I’ll keep at it. Thank you again. - Drew

This is so powerful. It's suspenseful, and even though at first it may seem confusing the transitioning is actually extremely well put together. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Well done Drew! You've written with suspence in every word. I love the way I think I know what's about to happen, but at the same time I don't know at all :) Hope to read some more from you!

I'm normally not much of a poetry kind of guy, but I have to say that I found the emotional ricochetting of this one captivating. Very interesting, and well written!

wow, the way you make the transition from stanze to stanze is amazing, your lines are left in unfinished yet they connect with the next so well! Unbrace has such an individual style as well, so creative, loved the read !
