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:
GothicQueen666 said:Creatures of Fire
We swan-dive into the volcano, burning;
We’re creatures of the fire,
Mingled male and female, yearning
For the heat, the sweet explosion of desire.
I splash into the pleasure, all consuming;
I’m joyfully insane,
My passion for you deep, and fully blooming;
Long after, sweet warm flickers still remain.
You make my body sizzle with your kisses,
And yet there’s so much more;
My heart is kindled, too; It knows what bliss is,
This closeness that I’ve never felt before.
My body and my heart belong to you;
I’m peaceful and complete.
I see more adventures coming for we two,
We creatures of the tender fire and heat.
LUUH19 said:Taken
Oblivion I was, seeing vog all around
I haven't noticed you
but you saw through
my body to my heart
you wanted to mix
your flesh
tasting the synchronous
ravishing me into climax
filthy innocents; rebirth
we and us, I can't think only for myself no more
at every awaken second
my mind defeated
invaded by your locked eyes
controlled by your sweet lips
caressed by your soft touch
daydreaming until I see you here
I'm taken by the love that has resurrected
you made me believe in second chances
alive again for the new allure of romance.
Dresdamanx said:Moments, Like Bullets
the largest eyes,
needed to reflect heart’s light
back upon a jaded soul
purest laughter,
so proud, rings through space
to crack the darkness
of smoldering hearts
beautiful hands,
whose long fingers unknowingly wove,
notes of grace,
in songs of soft motion and albums of air
why was it so awkward?
why did we avoid each other’s gaze?
because then they would know,
they would know, they would know
it is better
to collect these golden hours,
given by time to honest souls,
rather than to steal them
with desperate gasps
thank you for these perfect moments,
perfect in my mind,
for they are mine to remember,
when I forget what emotions are
most sublime of these,
was the last one,
now only hours old,
stored in tight memory,
as i rode my motorcycle to the ocean
i raced
to catch the sunset
as the wind pulled tears from behind my visor,
the sand was cold,
i had to imagine warmth
and i remembered
the images that loop,
over onto themselves,
they play to me..sweetly,
with melancholy whispers
of bittersweet fortunes:
my head turned,
i let go of the handlebar with one hand,
i reached out,
speeding away from you,
i caught a last fleeting glimpse,
Of those big eyes,
a final wave,
and a blown kiss....lost to the wind

The Poet Without His Muse
She’s the source of inspiration and revelation,
Both, the fantasy and the dream combined,
That which permeates the body and the soul,
That which brings him love and peace of mind.
But now he languishes for her all over again,
Separated like the stars and galaxies away,
That by day hide under the bluest of skies,
But at night shine in such a glorious display.
And his heart aches at the distance in between,
Close but yet so far in the realm of uncertainty,
But like cataclysms of the universe beyond,
Their chaos comes together in beautiful harmony.
He longs for her like he did in the beginning,
Yearning for the serenity once so profound,
In a languid slumber that seems to last forever,
Like la mélancolie of love once lost and found.

Beneath your eyes a beauty lies
Behold its wonder in it I amaze myself
This wealth of depth of beauty felt yet I behold more still
It shivers down my spine
Could this be true love felt deep within my heart of hearts
Has luck struck me dumb beyond belief for its untold pleasure
It has to be true its beyond measure for its wonders grasp me to great new heights
And wonders most truest gift would be you by my side
Behold its wonder in it I amaze myself
This wealth of depth of beauty felt yet I behold more still
It shivers down my spine

And wonders most truest gift would be you by my side
A battle against interspace for love
Felt like an eternal conflict against the strongest elements of the universe
What was 70 miles forced two souls apart for the length of months upon end
Which when I closed my eyes felt as if it was forever and a day
We held hands and fought, against interspace; each other
But we won with flying colours
Flying colours, beautiful coloured comets
If we can do this, we can do anything at all
We can live immortally within each other’s souls
Pushing beyond our limits to award each other with radiance
And I was at times unconfident whether we would win at all
I believed there would be a time where we put our weapons down
Hands up, white flag
SURRENDER
But a second thought arose and we picked our weapons up
We battled vigorously against interspace
All in the name of love
And here we are
Content
Wondering what will happen next, and whatever does, good or bad
We are ready
I love you

Poetry Writing
My eyes wander on your face...
Whenever my day turns to darkness
Bringing me sunshine in your presence
The salve to heal my broken soul is
A written poetry you made for me
Looking at the laugh lines in your face
Itching to touch them with my lips
Followed by my tracing fingertips
My own poetry are written for you
Beard that tickles when you kiss
Playfully making me laughing and
Wishing to feel that passionate kiss
Together we write our own poetry
What I'd dream most in every night
To be sleeping inside your loving arms
Cuddle to the music we are making
Tangled in each other warm embrace
To hear your heartbeat next to mine
Music to this old girl's restless heart
A lullaby to silence the one monster
Playing chaotic havoc in my mind
My eyes wander on your face...
Whenever my day turns to darkness
Bringing me sunshine in your presence
The salve to heal my broken soul is
A written poetry you made for me
Looking at the laugh lines in your face
Itching to touch them with my lips
Followed by my tracing fingertips
My own poetry are written for you
Beard that tickles when you kiss
Playfully making me laughing and
Wishing to feel that passionate kiss
Together we write our own poetry
What I'd dream most in every night
To be sleeping inside your loving arms
Cuddle to the music we are making
Tangled in each other warm embrace
To hear your heartbeat next to mine
Music to this old girl's restless heart
A lullaby to silence the one monster
Playing chaotic havoc in my mind

The Fall
The Fall
We spend our life looking and searching
We know exactly what we seek
We know what we wish to find
Time after time we come up short; the mistakes are made thus making us apprehensive, as much as we desire for someone to treasure our hearts, past experiences pain us to give up hope. So when we finally come close enough to what we want to possess, reaching the edge of the cliff and as we peek over the view frightens us, peering over the edge there seems no end is in sight, how can we trust the unknown?
We want to fall but we want to be caught
We want the love but don’t want the pain
We want to trust but we’ve already been lied to
As loud as your conscious is yelling NO!
Your heart will still speak louder for what it’s been longing for…..
So take the chance and fall, and keep falling, when you’ve found a place of temporary security , a place that will make you doubt, that you can use as your escape hatch…fall and keep falling
Feel the rush, find no comfort in your fears, lose yourself in the plummet, bask in silence of the unknown, the quietness of the plunge into the darkness, the fall is meant to show you that this has a chance of being real,
What is at hand is much less than perfection, and flaws are a definite, so pay no attention and keep falling, Cause when you fall in love the possibilities are endless, that’s why The Fall is continuous because love is limitless…

Shouldn't be liking you
Shouldn't be liking you
I'm afraid of your smile, I'm afraid of that look in your eye when you speak to me, I'm even afraid of that look on your face when you walk past me and pretend as if I'm not there, I'm afraid to say it out loud that I'm starting to like you, because I shouldn't...
Your hand shakes turned to hugs and as I held your body close to mine breathing in that beautiful intoxicating aroma impairing my logic, daring my lips to press against yours
When you kissed me when you shouldn't have, the way your heart raced, the way your tongue tastes, mischief and mayhem but it was all we wanted at the time and the outside world had no meaning for us
When you invited me over to visit and the minutes grew to hours and as the hours past the midnight stroke tolling in a new day the seduction deepened
You might as well be named forbidden fruit, and as I gaze at you upon that limb my appetite for desire continues to grow
When all the ethical foundation and moralities cry out warning me that this wrong I still can't help wanting you
I shouldn't be here in your arms, in my lust, but I can not escape the temptation of you
You who keeps me up at night with littles fantasies dancing in my head, got me tossing in my bed trying to rush the night into sun rise just for my eyes to be blessed by the sight of you
As I let myself wallow in the thrill of your presence I can't help but think that she's at home waiting for me
She ...who has my heart my loyalty my love
But you have my curiosity my attention and you excite my sensual interests
I am ashamed that this kind of happiness is from such an unlikely source and now that I like you what am i to do, I know I shouldn't but I only want you to like me as much as I like you, could I be asking for too much...

On Fire
Whenever I think of you...
You whispered my name
My heart beat faster
The hairs on my skin rose
My nipples hardened
I turned
Knowing you'd be there
Standing so near
You were intensely looking at me
My heart skipped a beat
My skin heated up
I quivered
I raised my head
Looked into your eyes
You moved closer
You stopped an inch away
From my lips and whispered
"My Heart"
"My gorgeous heart"
"Kiss me"
My eyes locked with yours
I unconsciously moved
Our lips met and lightly touched
My eyes closed
As you devoured me
Just with a kiss
My knees got weak
I had to hold on
I grabbed your shirt for anchor
As you wrapped your arms around me
And we kissed hungrily
Hungry from weeks
Of wanting
You stopped
Gripped my face
Lips inches from mine
You whispered
"You are mine"
Kissed me deeply
As I returned the hunger
Of wanting you
"Kiss me"
"Again"
Whenever I think of you...
