You are allowed to submit a poem that you've written before, even if I've commented on it or it's been in my previous romance contest.
You can submit 3 poems maximum. Don't edit your posts, after the contest has closed.
Please send me a private message with any questions.
Here's some inspiration from last competition:

T H R I C E
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
Naughtymouse said: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.
shoutevenshy said:bliss
With glasses on
and book in hand,
she sat beside me
in the sand.
In those moments
clouds fell down
and rosy raindrops
spun around
Waves entwined,
a first kiss brought,
though not a last one
so worry not.

In Sunsets
It’s in the eyes
Where paradise lives and dies
Like April leaves arriving early in the spring
Wondering gently in the breeze
Caressing your skin in the most melodious way
And some clouds that are as white as snow
Turn to golden hues in picturesque sunsets
Breathed in breathless delightful thoughts
Adored and absorbed in absolute stunning views
They make you dream
The most beautiful images you can imagine
With welcoming smiles that lead to celestial bodies
In glorious scenes of distant horizons
And like that you’re embedded in my mind
When the sky paints a portrait it makes me think of you
That in the midst of grays and pastels
Purples and perplexing colors you’ve become
A lover and an artist with each dawn and dusk
In sunsets
And for that you will be forever etched in my heart
It’s in the eyes
Where paradise lives and dies
Like April leaves arriving early in the spring
Wondering gently in the breeze
Caressing your skin in the most melodious way
And some clouds that are as white as snow
Turn to golden hues in picturesque sunsets
Breathed in breathless delightful thoughts
Adored and absorbed in absolute stunning views
They make you dream
The most beautiful images you can imagine
With welcoming smiles that lead to celestial bodies
In glorious scenes of distant horizons
And like that you’re embedded in my mind
When the sky paints a portrait it makes me think of you
That in the midst of grays and pastels
Purples and perplexing colors you’ve become
A lover and an artist with each dawn and dusk
In sunsets
And for that you will be forever etched in my heart
Conversion
The moment I saw you I was already
calculating the space you fill algebraically,
doing the dimensional analysis
both awake and in my sleep
until, over the arc of our tenure as lovers,
I accepted the mathematical sums,
and it continues to elevate and meander
by cranial orbits and biological chemistry.
You defy physics for why it's this way, and
being together creating another chemical reaction
when it comes to how I mirror you, turning into
windows, to cross over and meld into 3D.

Impromptu Lovers
She has a lover.
Oh. Do you have a lover?
you.
I wanna be your lover.
please!
I want to undress you.
I'd like that.
Is it bad that I have so much lust for a married woman?
I'm not married, so its okay.
Enviable position he's gifted me.
Because every time I close my eyes I see him crawling up the bed to kiss me.

January
Wintery, cold augustly sentiments blessing me with love
No! You're not done with me
Close your eyes
I never got your letters
Only your minuscule thoughts
Welcoming my love
And tell me
Again
"[We're] kindred spirits"
No need to tell me why
Close your eyes
Just reach out and feel your heartbeat
I have no words left from you...
I checked my phone, only a few pictures that's so far from enough
Close your eyes
There you are, I've been waiting
Let's fly beyond the boundaries of this room and tumble, wielding sheets of light
forgotten hands catch me as we fall
We'll do our part and it will be divine
I love,
Getting caught with you in the moonshine.

The Only Girl You've Ever Seen
Cold winter out
Spring flowers in
Go outside
They're gone just as they appeared
Into the darkness
Before you know it
Hide your dusk
At dust
Let your flowers bloom
And never speak of us again
The humble condition
Freeze, don't slow
He'll come when its timely
Extinguished traveler
Mythical creature
Flow like the river
Northern lovers
Set out from the moon
Stars falling in place
Left out from space
Sweetheart, you are memories
Set out of time and space
Two miniscule red poppies
Abreast the vast blanket of titanium snow
Gorgeous
I'll be west; blanketed
And you'll be there too
Sometimes I look at the clouds
And think of you
The powdery blue
Is in essence...you
Sad
Remote antiquity
Fragmented sky
Your resemblance
Is as vivid as truth
Temporarily bright then hue
Your vehement desire
Is gorgeous
Clamoring so indignantly
In my dreamy state
Everything becomes blue
And the saddest of all of you
So blue
Everything becomes blue
Because of you, my flower always blooms just to impress you and cringes when I think of someone new.

When I first saw the color blue
Was it mere months ago?
The span of a lifetime for a crab.
Who could tell? But I knew it was
years ago, my own lifetime.
Where would I be if I hadn't sensed it
up my spine, on the back of my neck,
if I hadn't felt you walking
aimlessly on the strand.
I was oblivious to the cold
as I quaked from sunset's approach.
The world was monochrome like waves
in shells sunken in sand at low tide,
before the last of daylight blinked
from fog rolling in.
I had to know now that you existed.
It happened at breakwater.
I laid eyes on you the first & last time
( I would never look away again )
when I saw the color blue.
Not like I thought I knew.
Nothing's been the same since then.
Misplaced keys to the prism before
you & the color blue pooled at my feet;
a halo of lights from the pier
in its reflection, and all that I saw.

>I Romance<
I want to dry hump the Gobi desert...roll around on its huge dunes...split the red sand with my actions.
I mean,
I mean,
I mean,
I want to romance the Earth like its never been romanced before.
I figure I might as well do the deserts first...then I'll move on to the jungles...suck the vines as if starved of affection.
I am a player who can't be fooled by the moon.
I am a lover of all things natural...
I am so horny when I get around the rough ocean.
I jump in it & walk in it up to my waist & make love to the wave action.
I love it.
The way the planet loves me, too.
