Wow. This is like a dictionary of creepy words, but formatted by a post-prime Billy Corgan.
"My plight for water" is worth a ten. The rest's an eight.
Nice.
Why sculptured instead of sculpted? As it is you have 'a statue sculptured', a verb which I can only imagine means 'made like a statue'. In other words, making sculpted 'sculptured' adds no meaning at all and eliminates an easy chance to add meaning.
On a constructive note, I think it would be helpful for you to add actual, modern details about Rome. Seriously.
yeah, ok.
A good looking man with a bad heart will prefer farsighted women. Not saying you are he, but as a metaphor, it could work that way.
Yeah, and I've got news for you: being a poet doesn't get you laid like it used to, when Wordsworth and Coleridge could get non-scaggy college girls whenever they wanted without waiting or foreplay.
You're probably too young to know that for one glorious summer the name on everyone's lips was Evan Dando.
But fuller, un-sucked-in stomachs make better drums!
'And how often do we separate our masters from the leash' -- what?
The first two lines aren't bad. The rest...
Not that I necessarily disagree with the poem (especially since I've never seen your legs), but whether or not a hairy female leg is nice or not depends on the shape of the leg. As a rule, hairy ones will be just as nice when shaved, though the reverse is not necessarily true.
I would prefer a farsighted, who would see me clearly while distant (and thusly diminished by perspective) but not have a chance of seeing anything closer. Admittedly nearsighted is better as a metaphor. Do you think that's why so many people use it as a metaphor?
Well, everybody has keys.
amost of the rhymes seem forced. Still it's a good sentiment.
When a dying person realizes the futility and knows the person he's crying out to wants to help but there's nothing she can do, then you are near the end. Well said, if that's what you mean.
Leave out "thee" though.
The ...... is only distracting. Typo in line 6. Some good lines here, but what are you saying?
A match for me? A nearsighted man? Sold!
