Poetry Contest

Love
Just a poem of love with no erotica.  The following is not up for competition.


I felt the touch of many years willow
the down of the pillow was white, not yellow
and the windchimes were memories
odd mellow, odd mellow

I felt the touch of eleven September
when you were splendor and I was your fellow
and time was a charter member
odd mellow, odd mellow

I felt the touch of the winged swallow
with your breath between earth's fallows
the down of the pillow was white, not yellow
odd mellow, odd mellow

I took this woman to be my wife

The book with one question

Your smile, warm and tender,
Your eyes, loving and kind.
A beauty, in all your splendour,
Brightening up my mind.

But still, words can’t describe,
The heart you hold inside.
I tried to explain it before,
But my poem was endless once more.

To explain what I feel about you,
I wrote trough many nights and days.
I wrote down every word I knew,
Every single one creating another phrase.

It became a book, with a shine so bright,
Full of the poems, that never said it right.
But if you read this verse warm and fine,
You can only hear one question,
Would you be my valentine?

Her midnight tea party with Mr grey

Midnight tea party
Written by æ.

Innocent by nature
I claim

In honor of my predecessor before me.

The late great Edgar alan Poe
I too shall dedicate my life to going insane

Now a announcement

Gentleman and ladies

Allow me to be Frank to the Commencement

you will watch me around here and sigh for it Don't.

It is a deal of trouble for you to try to make me tremble with just a cast of your slight my way
As I drop to my knees carnal desire
For your sweet whispers

"Good...girl....your mine."

you are much better of watching and drawing your conclusions from a distance than you would be if you got your tarse up my petticoats and sadden my bubble gum pink dreams

With leaving the tea cold one day.

before you speak impetuous seeker of my Sweet adorable adoration
followed by My desire no obsession with making you smile and finding nebulas that match your eyes

(Pouts pausing for effect)
(A suspiciously tone to the words next uttered)

if that's what you really are after....

(Curiosity ponders)

Than ask yourself how many centuries since you've climbed a balcony in search of romance and carnal Lust of a girls flesh.

I searched the oceans to no avail
For you
Cept the wetched grasp of tyranny and corruption of the darkest heart in a man so bent on narcissism worst than a Greek myth
So before you and try to captivate this hopeless romantic nerdy submissive little dollys attention
and steal into my mind

filling up my note books with music and poems written in my pencil strokes like a school girl

please try to close the curtains on my worry for when you get bored
One day

Will your sugar sit untouched

Or will I warmly smile trembling In your presence

For your touch of my cheek
And your heart melting smile at my silliness while

i Make earl gray For my
midnight tea party

Studies Show...

Omnia Vincit amour

I'm a Analog princess In a digital world of apple crumble pie.
They truely are the worst pies from London.

You're My Beautiful Rose

Darling, you’re my beautiful rose.
I’m so proud to walk around with you.
You’re the most gorgeous flower of nature.
God created you especially for me.

You enamour me with your charm.
I find good fortune in your touch.
Your beauty decorates my dwelling house.
And your love is a treasure to my heart.

Let me sing a Latin love song for you.
I’ll mesmerise you with my euphonious voice.
Your amiability brings me happiness.
The woman in you excites the man in me.

I get so emotional when I talk about you.
Thank you for accepting me in your life.
Now I can show everyone my beautiful rose.
You’re my beloved; I’ll love you until death.

Darling, I can’t evaluate your love,
For it’s worth more than all the jewels.
They say diamonds are forever,
But your love is more durable than diamonds.

Come to the balcony immediately.
Bring me your irresistible love once more.
Stay here in my arms and thrill me.
Please don’t defy your heart’s command.

The moon is showing us its glory.
I see the starlight reflecting from your eyes.
Sleep well tonight my little miss.
In the morning, I’ll wake you with a tender kiss.

I want to spend limitless time with you,
Not just a few erotic moments.
Darling, promise me your faithfulness.
Say you’ll always be my beautiful rose.

Springs love was borne of time and tide ( Sonnet)

Springs love that came was borne of time and tide  
a garment fitted so, a crown to clasp                  
summer times of smiles, winter times to chide    
to tick with golden trust or vain mishap                
 
That captured restlessness within your heart        
she was sweet natures breath, in cascades          
 strength of tempest we faced without regard      
abated storms, was innocence enslaved  
 
 Flood and turbulence we are held within  
endless is the eternity, of hearts entwined  
 ecstasy that is the bond, natures whim      
bonded not broke, the coupled pair so blind            
 
Tides pull, that glad pursuit is ever spring                            
 times tick, its rapture bud, its flower sing

The Vow

I wake in the morning, filled with regret.
The love we once had, I will never forget.
It was the sea in your eyes that captivated me so.
But now my love, my time has come and I must go.
So keep your head up and worry for me not.
In this, pain has been created, and in gold it has been wrought.
So worry no more darling, my night is coming swiftly.
So take my hand dear, it is coming too quickly.
Look into my eyes, this one last time.
And remember this love, you will ever be mine.
And in these last few moments, dying here next to you.
The tears rolling down your face, remind me of the morning dew.
So look forward my sweet love, and remember these last words.
You will never be alone, I will be here with you on the wings of the birds.
In the smiling faces, of the joyous crouds.
In the leaves of the trees, and high in the clouds.
So don't be saddened, my time has come now.
I have loved you always, I stuck true to my vows.

Completion

So close,
You hold me.
My body growing heavier.
My eyes closing from exhaustion.
Your hands gripping me firmly,
Desperate to keep me awake.
But I can't feel your grasp,
And your voice seems hushed.
The distance of my mind,
Ever growing and moving out,
further and further away.
Leaving the safety of your voice.
Begining to let go.
Slipping out of your pleading grasp
Until finally,
Consuming stillness.

The Beauty in Him

You take away the dark
And leave me with the light
You take away the pain
And leave me with your name
I havent heard a sweeter sound
Much sweeter than your voice
I haven't known a softer touch
More loving than your hands
You make my way for me
And how can I but follow
You have only ever shown me kindness
But I have strayed time and time again
You never left my side though
And I can not pretend
That Lord, Oh God, My savior
Where would I have been
Had it not been for you
I would be forgotten, lost, and alone
But now I see the light, my God
And all I know now is happiness
A happiness that you gave me
How come I couldn't have seen it sooner
How could I not have known
That you have been there all along
Carrying me through my storms
And once again, your light pervades
My ever waking thoughts
And I think of how beautiful life is
And how you made it so
And I know now that all along
It is was you staying by my side
And I just want to thank you Lord
For giving me this life

Transcendence

May each word that slips through
My hungering lips
Fall like droplets of love, onto yours

As it builds up inside, this storm that I carry
Do not fight my wind, I invite you
To chase it instead

May the pools I’ve delivered, turn to rivers that run
Transcending this wall between
Connecting two streams, where we’ll meet




And may you see, that the depths of my heart
Is an ocean increasing
Do not sail it, go swimming

Visuals and Voicemails

I wish that I had videos or voicemails
To see or hear you when I'm not well
But I failed to obtain or retain either one
Before the creator eclipsed your Sun

Now I run this race at a steady pace
Missing you and your angelic grace
Voided space remains inside of my heart
And it's been that way since your depart

All the heart to hearts that you provided
Kept me from being lost and misguided
Your mere presence aided in my serenity
Temporarily away from humanity's calamity

Granny, fond memories of you still run rampant
Even without visuals, residuals are permanent
Clairaudience maintains residence of your voice
So I must rely on it because I have no choice

My invoice shows no deduction of you from me
Only physically but spiritually we'll eternally be
Forever you and me until he concludes my ride
Then hopefully you'll see me on the other side

I Choose the Better

As I fantasize in fireworks
The passion of our love
Blazing blue and white
Through well-etched memory chasms
in my mind
I recall:
‘“tis  better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all”
(Or been loved)
Tennyson wrote true
For if I’d never known the love of you
I’d never hold this precious wealth:
The image of your eyes
Seeing through my heart,
The comfort of your touch,
The taste of you tasting me,
The melding of our beings
Intertwined heart in heart
Lust in lust
pulsing through the universe
Freezing time…
I would preserve
This heartache of longing
Through decades more
to hold these richest memories
close

Scattered But Sweet

I love you and the way your eyebrows lift when you see me.

I love how your eyes can undress me without words, and how they light up first thing in the morning when we meet again outside of our dreams.

I love the inner child in you, inviting my own to come out and play.
Let's ignore the world for just one more day.

I love you enough to know just what all the poets and writers were talking about when they told of the sun and the moon's love.

I don't have to feel you to know your skin is the only one I wanna be kissing for the rest of my life.

I don't need to see you right in front of me to describe every inch of you. If I just close my eyes...

And as nights get lonely and days drag on without you here with me, I remind myself that unlike the sun and the moon we will be seeing each other soon.

While He Sleeps

whenever I get a chance to watch him sleep
I indulge myself
stare at him for as long as I can

wishing I could somehow
infuse his dreams with my love and wishes for him
and like some devoted dream guardian

I watch his face
closely scanning for signs of bad dreams
so I can keep them at bay

it is the least I could do
for the one who made my dreams a reality
by simply becoming a part of it

The Purest Love

All I wanted was for you to do was to take me  
Home, but every time I look into your eyes  
I am already there. With your clothes  
Thrown around my room and in this bed  
With my head against your chest I think  
To myself… this is all I ever really wanted.
 
With you in my head and my lungs I see  
A bright future. All the other guys  
Could have me, but with all the oaths  
I made to you the oaths stand true. I sink  
To my knees because you are in my head  
And heart. Others have never haunted  
 
My dreams quite like you do. Somehow, I  
Thought every man before you were going  
To save me, but I had to save myself and  
Be okay with being by myself before  
I could ever let anyone else in. I let you  
In even with a protected and guarded  
 
Heart. I saw my reflection in your eyes  
And saw myself as you saw me… glowing  
And filled with happiness. With your hands  
All over me I was home. With the door  
Of the past closed I could breathe. Too  
Many times I thought I would be discarded  
 
On the side of the road like I was totally  
Forgotten about, but you picked me up  
When the darkness became too much.  
I just wanted for the good parts of our  
Story to be what people remember when  
They think about love. I was never afraid  
 
Of losing to love but losing the brokenly  
Parts to my enemies who wanted my cup  
To remain empty. It was your firm touch  
That saved me. With every waking hour  
I just want to spend them all within  
Your loving embrace. I never prayed  
 
For anything more than what my parents  
Have…. A strong and gentle love. An  
Equal partnership. Love that lasts until  
We are old and gray. Something that holds  
My hand and heart with such carefulness.  
Someone who will say I do at the end of  
 
The aisle with sureness and assurance.  
Promises with vows and rings with plans  
For the future, giving my heart stillness  
And not shakiness. When the truth unfolds  
You will dive in with me with fearlessness  
And with no room to be afraid. This is love.

Star Struck

 
She radiates this ever glowing electricity,
I can’t help but be drawn to her,
She emanates this clever flowing energy,
It’s something that causes quite a stir.
I feel the commotion inside of me,
Like a flutter of butterflies in a field,
I lose all reason and track of time,
My mind is speechless, lost in appeal.
And yet in the zeal of the undying fire,
The flame lights up the dream and vision,
The way she gazes right into my soul,
It’s with complete and absolute precision.
And it’s there where I dwell in a trance,
The fortune of this romance is more than luck,
Or destiny or fate or any happenstance,
Her alluring glance still has me star struck.
