Analysis of Impossible To Measure



A unique human emotion,
love weaves threads of trust into rope.
And fuels fledgling fantasies,
imbuing lonely souls with hope.

Like a mystical elixir,
it relieves hurting hearts of pain.
And fanning smoldering embers,
raises sex to another plane.

Anxieties and doubts vanish,
disappearing without a trace.
And like magic it launches dreams
and wishes into outer space.

It's the greatest of all prizes,
yet exacts a personal toll.
And although it lives in your heart,
it's reflected throughout your soul.

An extraordinary feeling,
it's impossible to measure.
And almost indescribable,
it transcends any known pleasure!

Emile Pinet

I was born in a small town, (Bathurst) New Brunswick, Canada,. The third eldest of thirteen children, ten girls and three boys. I’m the product of a semi-dysfunctional family, brought up by a controlling, physically abusive father, verses a loving mother.
