romance [35th Co.]
You Know…That Kind
She stills gives me butterflies after all this time,
You know,
The kind that makes my heart beat just a little heavier,
A little faster,
The sort that brightens up my day,
With just a little laugher.
It’s the kind that as soon as we see each other,
I can’t help but smile,
All the while I’m try to control myself,
The excitement can be a little much,
Then again she has that certain touch.
She has that kind of presence that makes me sigh,
You know,
Like I’m high on life with the emotions I feel unreal,
But I know I’m not dreaming,
Unless I already died and this is paradise.
She has those certain looks that get me hooked,
You know,
The kind that says a lot without saying words,
Then again I may be exaggerating,
But I find it exhilarating.
What she does that to me.
She makes me dream in such a way,
It‘s inspiring,
Rewiring my every imaginable thought,
An endless source of inspiration,
When the motivation gets me every day,
She’s constantly on my mind,
With want, love, lust and need
You know…that kind.

Galaxy Baby
Even your darkest corners
Light up my world
Soft finger tips on my skin
Tracing constellations
Your dreams leaving an invisible mark on me
I’ll absorb it all
Until you leave
Then I’ll replay your dreams
And pretend they were ours
Light up my world
Soft finger tips on my skin
Tracing constellations
Your dreams leaving an invisible mark on me
I’ll absorb it all
Until you leave
Then I’ll replay your dreams
And pretend they were ours

Heart String
A sweet delicate kiss I plant on your lips
My fingers tracing the curve of your neck
Our souls intertwine as I gaze into your eyes
Your sweet nothings are etched into my mind
Your touch leaves goosebumps on my skin
Your voice a tender lullaby to my heart
Your breath warm on my body
I cling to you with all my strength
I permeate passion, and love drips from my pores
Finger tips to finger tips
The sensation sends electrical impulses
Which jump start my heart
Reach into my chest
And tie a string around my heart
A string which reaches from my chest to yours
I trust you with my most delicate organ
All my vulnerabilities are exposed
Because I’ve let you inside my chest cavity
Each heartbeat tugs
Connecting the thumps
The string wrapping around my heart and yours
The string trembles and shakes
As our emotions reverberate
If we lean close the string will sag
If we move away the string is pulled taught
The invisible connection of our bodies and our minds
Tethers us together, forever
For only our hearts sing the same tune
If anyone else was to serenade your heart
The sounds would be ineligible
Because your heart only wakes to my melody
Your eyes trace my skin
Causing a cascade of sensation
My heartbeat races, tugging on yours
If you tear your heart away from me
My heart will follow
Because it’s tethered to yours
Every step you make tugs on my heart
I can feel all your emotions
And predict your mistakes
As your heartbeat pulsates
The impulse travels down the string and into my body
I can hear the thudding
As our heartbeats harmonize
Without a single touch you can oscillate my feelings
More than anyone else
Your mere presence
Is more intense than a million hands touching me
So when your finger tips finally meet my skin
And we bathe in each others sin
Our minds will fall apart
But our body’s wont disconnect
Because we are held together
By our heart string
My fingers tracing the curve of your neck
Our souls intertwine as I gaze into your eyes
Your sweet nothings are etched into my mind
Your touch leaves goosebumps on my skin
Your voice a tender lullaby to my heart
Your breath warm on my body
I cling to you with all my strength
I permeate passion, and love drips from my pores
Finger tips to finger tips
The sensation sends electrical impulses
Which jump start my heart
Reach into my chest
And tie a string around my heart
A string which reaches from my chest to yours
I trust you with my most delicate organ
All my vulnerabilities are exposed
Because I’ve let you inside my chest cavity
Each heartbeat tugs
Connecting the thumps
The string wrapping around my heart and yours
The string trembles and shakes
As our emotions reverberate
If we lean close the string will sag
If we move away the string is pulled taught
The invisible connection of our bodies and our minds

For only our hearts sing the same tune

Tragic melody
My heart is breaking
How much can it take?
You’re all I see when I close my eyes
And in every moment I’m awake
My words are jumbled
Letters bounce around in my head
There are so many things
I wish we hadn’t said
I don’t know how to stand it
I don’t know what to do
How can I stay away
When all I want is you
You send my stomach a flutter
Turn my heart into butter
Make my words stutter
I love you I mutter
If love would have made you stay
I would have told you I loved you everyday
If money would have bought your heart
There’s no price I wouldn’t pay
I need you
But you ran away
It’s easier to cut out the pain
Than stay with me another day
All of the romantic movies
Remind me of you
All the love songs
Do too
Your favourite things
Are engraved into my mind
All of my feelings for you
Leave me speechless and blind
So many memories
The littles things you’d say
You’re the opposite of me
Yet curiously the same
I told you my secrets
You promised me you cared
I let you into my heart
But you left me alone in despair
If I stare into your eyes
Will our heartbeats sync?
Will our pupils dilate?
Will our souls link?
We can sip vodka
Under rainbows
While we nibble on cookies
And sit in the snow
Your heart is titanium
Because we’ve been rolling in the deep
Because of you
I’m unable to sleep
We can go to wonderland
And I’ll be your angel with a shotgun
For you I’m a wild one
Because our youth has just begun
How did I mess up so badly
How did everything go so wrong
Our love is a tragic melody baby
And I keep replaying our song
How much can it take?
You’re all I see when I close my eyes
And in every moment I’m awake
My words are jumbled
Letters bounce around in my head
There are so many things
I wish we hadn’t said
I don’t know how to stand it
I don’t know what to do
How can I stay away
When all I want is you
You send my stomach a flutter
Turn my heart into butter
Make my words stutter
I love you I mutter
If love would have made you stay
I would have told you I loved you everyday

Bedazzle
'Twas when he saw her flutter by
A shadow fresh from her cocoon
The spiral speak of butterfly
A flashing psychedelic swoon
And soon she would bedazzle him
By whisper'd soft her wing'ed love
Her silver trails in garden dim
'Neath canopy of limbs above
A-quake, a-quivered Romeo
To stalk his Monarch Juliet
Viceroy, Skipper, Crescentspot
Nor Marblewing to hold her yet
The common Nymph he calls her not
This Painted Lady, Chalk Hill Blue
No Satyr, Emerald, Meadowlark
Nor Sulfur, Milkweed, Metalmark
Thus through the phases of the night
Each twist and turn emits their spark
Such faerie queen designed, delight
Her starry wingspread orbits near
He fair takes in her powdered scent
This moth's exquisite presence here
He follows her in moonlit gleam
His passion-spent his destiny
She's long desired in his dreams
Till final breath in ecstasy.

Moving forward, a link to your prior comps is acceptable as is messaging the authors to get their permission to quote their poem in your opener post for new comps , before setting the comp up. Your disclaimer here helps, but with future comps, not everyone may have seen it in this one and a quote-poem you choose, may end us in the same predicament. Permission or links is safest.

INK
( a modern Sonnet )
From shades of green to black my iris ink,
The difference ‘twixt the two like day & night.
Though not a carbon copy, you might think,
My mind would pool your image in its sight.
The color green was knowing in your youth,
A time when tiger stripes meant just a cat.
Then years ahead, a vision’s cyber truth,
Would sway your mind, or was it just like that?
At last, though neither of us saw it come,
The moment (one two three) forgot to breathe.
Instead of your decide to break and run,
We stood in place w’ smiling faces, wreath’d.
To tell the tale, in hindsight, I’ll resist,
My eyes of ink express my love’s insist.

The Albatross
Stumbled blindly through my 30’s but I always end up numb
It seems I fell asleep and then woke up 41
I offer you a seat but now it’s really close we lay
As you speak I’m tripping slowly over everything you say
I bite my tongue until it bleeds, here’s my shoulder for your tears
I’ve gathered up all your needs, here’s a closet for your fears
I’m following an albatross and the water is so clean
But I fell lost inside her waves so I will come back now as steam
I’ll take these sea ridden legs right onto solid ground
And search this whole damn island till I find a simpler sound
I can’t be certain but I’m pretty sure I sat engulfed in frozen fear
And I can’t for the life of me recall the drive from there to here
I took the path that was laid out for me by the stars
And came away from this with no visible scars
You asked me for a hand but my handshake you refused
I can see now it was your superego that was bruised
I never could resist when you asked, “Stay with me tonight?”
For I don’t want to be alone, I’m much too haunted by the light
The days never get shorter and the nights they last forever
Putting everything off until the next side of never
I must have been mistaken, you were just here but now you’re gone
As I lay awake, still, as the day cracks into dawn
Have you ever heard silence? It sounds just like your own voice
I choose not to remember (as if I had a choice)
I picked up all my things and then myself off the floor
Heading out to walk astray, and perhaps I’ll find the cure
There’s been no one to check in with for a few years as it seems
But it don’t matter to me much, I never sleep…but only dream
It seems I fell asleep and then woke up 41
I offer you a seat but now it’s really close we lay
As you speak I’m tripping slowly over everything you say
I bite my tongue until it bleeds, here’s my shoulder for your tears
I’ve gathered up all your needs, here’s a closet for your fears
I’m following an albatross and the water is so clean
