Dreamlight Friendship
His friendship, like a ribbon of melody
heard only in quiet nights
subtle like roses rustling
as their blooms inhale the wind
it is he that sits under the moon
revels on the wind upon his face
grateful for a life though not perfect
extracting wonder in his every day
he shares no pompous words
nor does he crave for accolades
just a right to exhale inhale
on his own little patch of sun
a caring hello...telepathic touch
of a kindred spirit
lift his aloneness a little
the smile on his lips linger longer
he has the quiet fire of a poet
an element that symbolises strength
and he sends flowers
unpretentious friendship.

Thank you. What does 'Bump Poets' mean again, Mysterious? 
At the Root of Me
I know I can be a little senseless, but there’s one thing that’s on my mind…
Darling, I crave you like my lungs need air, with a hunger too much to bear,
That quenching my thirst simply will lead to more and more constant longing,
That this yearning goes beyond both the physical and the spiritual and maybe
You’re right, I’m obsessed…
But my heart knows full well the distinction between love and fascination,
And what we found in our lives in the spec of all time is something special,
That the sole purpose in my life is to live this happiness satisfying you,
But it also consumes me…
So I linger in the realms between dreams and fantasies beyond this world,
More abysmal than all the seas or past the stars in all the galaxies
Even more profound than what the human mind can conceive,
But I believe…
You’re at the root of me… in the hub…the core… in the crux of it all,
So deep and embedded in my heart and soul,
That words need not be exchanged when the is emotion felt and shared
But with a simple smile and glare…
And that a modest (ily) makes everything okay, even on the roughest day,
It reconnects us through the hustle and the bustle of our daily lives,
It reminds us of early love lost and found, no matter how much time passes by,
It takes us to that special place…
To where two star crossed lovers met and discovered that feeling at a young age,
And not understanding how or why or when the fates would decide their paths,
Until the time was right, it would be unique… exceptional…sensual…epic… epochal,
Maybe even immortal…
And if future generations or civilizations uncover and read our story,
This love will again transcend when they tell our tale, this allegory
They will wonder about the life we shared brought not by chance,
Or happenstance
But by destiny,
By what the universe placed in our hands,
And deeply embedded in my heart and soul,
At the root of me,
In the hub,
The Core
In the crux of it all.

Die for more
Just for a moment I'd love
To taste your sweet love
To feel this touch I feel
Every single day in my dream
Those lips I imagine to kiss
I pray standing on my knees
That skin I crave to caress
I dream once to posses
I
This moment I'd let go
All that so long ago
Were left to wait an hour
To show it's real power
It gets to take you all
Together body, soul
Hear your cry not fake:
"Please, now...just take"
WANT
Wild animal from leash
Will run to its wish
Feed the hunger deep
Seen before on sleep
Your flame with mine
As we make that crime
United, the one
Forever after I'm done
YOU
I know by taking it
You, drug, my need
I will only start to die
Night without light
Tiny candle to be a fire
Destroy me with desire
To cover you and slide
Deep into what's mine
To taste your sweet love
To feel this touch I feel
Every single day in my dream
Those lips I imagine to kiss
I pray standing on my knees
That skin I crave to caress
I dream once to posses
I
This moment I'd let go
All that so long ago
Were left to wait an hour
To show it's real power
It gets to take you all
Together body, soul
Hear your cry not fake:
"Please, now...just take"
WANT
Wild animal from leash
Will run to its wish
Feed the hunger deep
Seen before on sleep
Your flame with mine
As we make that crime
United, the one
Forever after I'm done
YOU
I know by taking it
You, drug, my need
I will only start to die
Night without light
Tiny candle to be a fire
Destroy me with desire
To cover you and slide
Deep into what's mine

Thank you mysteriouslady for the 'nod' on my submission in this interesting competition. I am also grateful to you for your prompt voting & decision here. Some DUP folk leave you hanging & wondering for weeks on end about the result. You chose a strong theme for this forum & handled everything with professionalism & courtesy. I'd like to extend my congrats to souladareatease on an atmospheric, soulful write, plus gardenlover's thought provoking 'Nudity' poem.

I apologise on behalf of the DUP folk who are either indecisive or who overcomplicate the process in selecting a winning entry for their poetry competitions.
Thank you Mysteriouslady for running such a fine completion and for putting some of us DU folk to shame.
Congratulations to the winners and well done to all the poets who had a crack.
