Romance: a feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love; love, especially when sentimental or idealized.
Poems will get comments explaining good features as well as subjective areas of improvement. If you want comments, then put your poem webpage's full url link (or just the 6 digits that are within that url) at the bottom of your posts.
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:
wallyroo92 said: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
AEMelia564 said:Message to a Four leaved clover
Balancing light
upon late tide
Bestowed heart
sighs
when we reach
the sunset
Nostalgia
ebbs away
pale purpose
of this day
I will taste
berries
from
your lips
Remembering
delicate
fingertips
and you
my knight
of rubies
and of
prose
scorn
me not
seek
me not
but
find me
Jade-Pandora said: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.

werbepause ~ {xvi}
i cannot romanticize
you or the startled
flutter of wings
against the cage
of my ribs
when you
turn your gaze
to
the potential
of my mouth ~
... you steal my breath,
make my lungs
seize in anticipation
of the next
oleander sweet whisper
into
the dividing aether...
i have no
saccharine lines
but
.
.
.
i think of you.
constantly.
is that enough[?]

>Morning Without Her<
A sliver of the moon coexists with temperate oranges
as muted color come to life, jades mixed with sienna,
a mist creeps silently upon the field, clinging to life.
Symphonies play, sweet melody thunders a chorus
under a pale blue canopy we called Heaven once.
The pitch fades into the coming of light,
now a billion stars lie dormant.
The holy ghost moves silently
swirling, a chill beckons the rise.
And at once I feel her presence,
awakening me from my coma
the spirit of her, active in my heart
& I am breathless.

Ode to thee thy giver of dreams
Those golden curls of Icarus wings
Arise, arise this tender supplication
From lowly poet to lovely creation
Thy voice which forbears me the sweetest of song
Which follows thy beauty with thee all along
To lend forth thy spirit so faithful and true
Never have I met one like you.
Those golden curls of Icarus wings
Arise, arise this tender supplication
From lowly poet to lovely creation
Thy voice which forbears me the sweetest of song
Which follows thy beauty with thee all along
To lend forth thy spirit so faithful and true
Never have I met one like you.

Make Her Smile
She’s a vision, a dream
Some may dare to compare it to heaven on earth,
Like vast and deep oceans with uncharted emotions
No one has ever ventured swim before.
When he sees her it feels like his heart
Gives way to a different rhythm and beat,
And then it repeats,
When her demure allure gets his attention,
Effortlessly,
Little by little, he wants more.
She sways in such a way,
Nonchalantly without any provocation or intention,
Enticing like innuendos, hinted and implied,
He finds it fascinating, mysterious and exhilarating,
Anticipating that at any minute
Their eyes will connect,
And they’ll bond beyond anything’s ever known,
With body and soul,
Yearning,
So he searches for the right words,
To make her smile again.

Chaos of a Disconnect
You l oo k at me and I get lost
You l oo k - lost
You STAND before me in lust I lay down below you in love
I talk t o o much..... I ...... l o n g for you to listen
Instead I hear a DEAFENING silence
You s t u tt er a staccato sigh
We volunteer play pretend PRISONERS.......seeking
to navigate. stay CAPTIVATED…… until
Escaping through a [hidden]
trap door
Freedom forfeits reason and the ransom that was you and me
‘he’ stands before ‘she’
Misunderstanding “me”
She lies she forgets The truth he remembers
The news about us: Rewinds as we watch: You preview a forecast..
Pause.. my predictions - press replay
de je vous
I will not harden my heart-sow the seeds to soften your soul
You rescue me - I save you
The danger in you deploys the safety in me
I l oo k to you - you l oo k to me
And then finally you see…………………………
.you finally see......
You l oo k - lost
You STAND before me in lust I lay down below you in love
I talk t o o much..... I ...... l o n g for you to listen
Instead I hear a DEAFENING silence
You s t u tt er a staccato sigh
We volunteer play pretend PRISONERS.......seeking
to navigate. stay CAPTIVATED…… until
Escaping through a [hidden]
trap door
Freedom forfeits reason and the ransom that was you and me
‘he’ stands before ‘she’
