Here's some inspiration from last competition:
Jade-Pandora said:Tiger Spring
I, tiger, pad my way in search of Spring
As silver notes from breath through tree limbs sing,
Its offering the gentle mist of green
To enter in the cage of Bengal queen.
This time of year brings feelings of rebirth,
The thick sense of one's body from the earth,
To welcome sirens of hormonal song
And turnings of my yearn the whole night long.
The constant circle of a lashing tail,
The rise and pitch to advertise her grail.
My tiger paces, growling timbres' thrum
In hopes the He knows where the voice comes from.
But when the sun is high I'll make my leap
To race and follow tracks of suitor deep,
And through a cloud of butterflies & bloom
To meet up and begin our honeymoon.

A Sky In Each Eye
Am I real
can you deal
with all the layers
that you feel
the thoughts
as I kneel
on the floor
yes I'm real
my mind
is not blind
and nor
did I steal
the contents inside
they are mine
the real deal .
If you think
for a minute
in sync
yes I'm with it
the light
you will find
is the chink
I am in it .
Just trying to find
the blink
that hides
I know these times
but you got to stick with it .
You have to believe
not all do deceive
reality
comes for free
as fakery is
always seen.
So how do I prove
that you I won't use
each other we peruse
there's only me
in my shoes
and yes I know
that you're you
I forward
to conclude
there's a sky in each eye
and each one is for you .
All I ask is believe
in the task
you can't see
my mind without eyes
is not blind
it still see's ..
From this life
we all die
so let's fly
wide and high
like new kites
rocket spiked
off this sphere
stratosphere
past blue clear
far from here
without tears
minus fear
weightlessly
airborne free
entities
endlessly .
J_J_Jay_Jr said:'Twas under the rainbow, we first met.
I was young.
You were older.
By
One
Day.
It started out cloudy.
The weather.
Your mood.
And our relationship.
I was laughing.
You were crying.
He'd left you.
And it was starting to rain.
I offered my umbrella.
You were angry that I had laughed.
And walked on, as the rain started to fall.
Gently at first.
As was my apology.
I held it over your head.
You glared and said, "Why?"
That I'd laughed?
Or that he'd left?
The answer was nearly the same.
You view the world, thorough pink tinted glasses.
To you the world was a fiesta of love shaded in pink.
He couldn't stand your pink view of the world.
Your pink definition of love.
As the rain tamed, the sun emerged, a rainbow framed the sky.
And your tears dried.
I saw the gentleness, the softness.
behind the pinkness, that drove him away.
And my laughter was at his loss.
At you, I would never laugh.
With you, I hoped to share many laughs.
And hugs.
And kisses,
And silent glances.
And intimate moments.
And life.
It was your view of the world,
though pink tinted glasses
that drew me to you.
You came to call me your "younger" man.
And I called you my "ol' lady" in turn.
So, dearest,
That's how it began,
under a rainbow filled sky.

I Feel It Fall Upon My Face (Quatern)
I feel it fall upon my face
The sky is smiling down on me
Angels honor me, warm embrace
Open heart, mind, for her to see.
Aeolus carries winds of time
I feel it fall upon my face
In her eyes, this beauty of mine
Holds my love dear, makes my heart race.
Standing steady with god like grace
Her light shines down with serene hue
I feel it fall upon my face
She leaves me breathless, keeps me true.
We bathe our souls in pools of bliss
Love for her, exceeds time and space,
I linger on her perfect kiss
I feel it fall upon my face.
I feel it fall upon my face
The sky is smiling down on me
Angels honor me, warm embrace
Open heart, mind, for her to see.
Aeolus carries winds of time
I feel it fall upon my face
In her eyes, this beauty of mine
Holds my love dear, makes my heart race.
Standing steady with god like grace
Her light shines down with serene hue
I feel it fall upon my face
She leaves me breathless, keeps me true.
We bathe our souls in pools of bliss
Love for her, exceeds time and space,
I linger on her perfect kiss
I feel it fall upon my face.

Just Let Me
Let me dream,
That’s all I ask and nothing more,
Let me delve in the fantasy of the night,
That goes on forever and doesn’t end,
A timeless scenery of my mind,
So let me linger once more.
Let me see,
The visions I imagined with elation,
The words that fly off into the night,
Engraved so we can comprehend,
This emotion doesn’t know time,
Like an undying sensation.
Let me feel,
The fleeting fantastic fulfilling effect,
Before the fantasy rises and takes flight,
So that I’m able to fully understand,
This little massive passion of mine,
To a degree is perfect.
Let me experience each and every touch,
When my senses reel
Between what’s false and real,
So that when I awake from that vivid reverie,
I long to caress your face,
I yearn kiss your lips,
When I dream, see and feel,
But just let me.

'Round the Corner📚

We make a date; let's meet at the book nook,
That sells every subject between covers,
Holding the universe in a nutshell.
So when he shows up exactly on time
Impeccably dressed in his bookish style,
I practic'lly swoon, that look from his specs!
We pass by bags of ground beans & green tea,
Of rotating racks with canvas book bags,
And rows of trendy kiln-glazed mugs on hooks.
We both look askance at hands on the clock.
As if from one mind we bolt for the stairs;
The lift would be faster, but time is scarce.
We run for the stacks and down the first row,
Biology! That's more than we want to know.
Surgery, Dentistry, Philosophy.
Sigmund, where are you when we need you most?
We go down - on all fours - and start crawling.
Geology. Ha! They'll NEVER find us!
We lie in a pile of first editions.
I writhe and I gasp; he's found my hot spot:
I love the smell of hard-bound most of all!
This will always be our fa-vo-rite place.
Love in a local shop 'round the corner,
There's nothing better for bookworms like us.

Before I knew you had my soul
When I only thought, you were sure
When I was sick, you found a cure
When I was guessing, you saw the right
Before I started, you stopped the fight
When I questioned, you spoke out loud
When I sit hidden, you stood your ground
When I rose my hand, you held it tight
Before I guided, you were my guide
When I was dreaming, you made it true
When I was falling apart, you were a glue
When I was coming back, you stayed there
Before found it, you were already fair
When I was about to close, you opened wide
When I was above, you gave up your pride
When I was mad, you killed it with smile
Before I guessed, you passed the trial
When I sharpened knife, you let it slide
When I said independent, you called "mine"
When I ran away, you run after me
Before I died alone I saw you bleed
When I was lost, you showed the way
When I was screaming, you eased my pain
When I wanted to kill, you melted my rage
Before I burned the book, you wrote new page
When I turned back, you made me look up
When I was subdued, you helped escape the trap
When I was left, you stayed by my side
Before I stumbled, you made me glide
When I was cold, you made me feel heat
When I was only writing mine, you made read
When I was loud, you always were my silence
Before I went dark, you showed me balance
When I started feeling, you knew ahead
When I was taking back, you give all instead
When I kept caged, you let the love flow
Before I knew I was in love, you had my soul
When I was sick, you found a cure
When I was guessing, you saw the right
Before I started, you stopped the fight
When I questioned, you spoke out loud
When I sit hidden, you stood your ground
When I rose my hand, you held it tight
Before I guided, you were my guide
When I was dreaming, you made it true
When I was falling apart, you were a glue
When I was coming back, you stayed there
Before found it, you were already fair
When I was about to close, you opened wide
When I was above, you gave up your pride
When I was mad, you killed it with smile
Before I guessed, you passed the trial

When I said independent, you called "mine"
When I ran away, you run after me
Before I died alone I saw you bleed
When I was lost, you showed the way
When I was screaming, you eased my pain
When I wanted to kill, you melted my rage

When I turned back, you made me look up
When I was subdued, you helped escape the trap

When I was loud, you always were my silence
Before I went dark, you showed me balance
When I started feeling, you knew ahead
When I was taking back, you give all instead
When I kept caged, you let the love flow
Before I knew I was in love, you had my soul

From the beast to the angel
Hey, fallen angel, yes, you are now on Earth
You're sitting on the ground and you're lost
Crying with crystal tears and so afraid
How to live this life here? Looks like a game
Hey, sad angel, they cut your wings away
Put you here among these people and deep pain
You prayed for a death which is better than this
No one can hear you here but me and I'm a beast
Hey, lost angel, you beauty touched me inside
Though my soul is dead and empty even to try
To feel an empathy or, I am sorry, devil, love
I can't stop looking how you cry more and more
Hey, sweet angel, that bright fire around you
I created to give you warmth, that how I do
Forgive me, I don't know other way than madness
In this people's world to take away your sadness
Hey, my angel, I have new wings for you and when
You sleep I will come near you to leave them
But here's the thing, they are black and heavy
To accept wings of the beast...will you be ready?
You're sitting on the ground and you're lost
Crying with crystal tears and so afraid
How to live this life here? Looks like a game
Hey, sad angel, they cut your wings away
Put you here among these people and deep pain
You prayed for a death which is better than this
No one can hear you here but me and I'm a beast
Hey, lost angel, you beauty touched me inside
Though my soul is dead and empty even to try
To feel an empathy or, I am sorry, devil, love

If you are sick, I will be sick with you
I will be smiling with you if you smile
I will be hurting if you hurt inside
I will be a killer if you want to kill
I will be near if you caught by fear
I will be holding you if you need to be held
I will be the Sun if you think to melt
I will be your wings if you ask to fly
I will be a liar if you must lie
I will be the God if you search for one
I will be stranger if you want me gone
I will be a power if you run out of it
I will be bleeding if you bleed
I will be a light if you are in dark
I will be marked if you leave a mark
I will be your clothes if you're naked
I will be breaking the World, if you wanna break it
I will be a victim if you plan a ritual
I will be a message if you see it virtual
I will be a song if you start to sing
I will be a wife if you give me a ring
I will be a hand if you feel like falling
I will be a fire if you feel like burning
I will be a guilt if you're the one to blame
I will be wounded if you still have some pain
I will be an air if you don't have enough
I will love to the End if you need my love
I will be hurting if you hurt inside
I will be a killer if you want to kill
I will be near if you caught by fear
I will be holding you if you need to be held
I will be the Sun if you think to melt
I will be your wings if you ask to fly
I will be a liar if you must lie
I will be the God if you search for one
I will be stranger if you want me gone
I will be a power if you run out of it
I will be bleeding if you bleed
I will be a light if you are in dark
I will be marked if you leave a mark
I will be your clothes if you're naked
I will be breaking the World, if you wanna break it
I will be a victim if you plan a ritual
I will be a message if you see it virtual
I will be a song if you start to sing
I will be a wife if you give me a ring
I will be a hand if you feel like falling
I will be a fire if you feel like burning
I will be a guilt if you're the one to blame
I will be wounded if you still have some pain
I will be an air if you don't have enough
I will love to the End if you need my love

I:
our flotilla;
your cupped hands
the grace of my rib cage
as we drift toward
the shelter of a quiet cove
II:
my hair tangles
the valves of your heart
holding you at bay
for a moment
till I return your breath
III:
the children we were
play together
share ev'ry secret
rolling in the grass, always
laughing in our dreams
our flotilla;
your cupped hands
the grace of my rib cage
as we drift toward
the shelter of a quiet cove
II:
my hair tangles
the valves of your heart
holding you at bay

For this, romance #15, some lovely entries by all, so it's an honor that you, sirBoring, have chosen mine as winner of the cup. I graciously congratulate the other winners that share the podium for their fine writes, with me: to our dear Ben (Naughtymouse), and to a new member (welcome to DUP!) shoutevenshy!
