You Are - I Am

You Are - I Am

A Poem by Tarry Franck

You are my King
I am your Queen
You are my Lord
I am your Lady
Our love for one another
Grows stronger and stronger
We will hold on to
Longer and longer
Togetherness our certainty
I give myself to thee
Over and over again
However often you covet me.

I like the vision create by the poem. King and Queen. Give and take. The poem felt like real life. I like the way you ended the poem. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Concise and traditional, the old English approach to love declaration is always a popular poetry theme. You captured it here as well as it can be done.

thank you
I'm going to be horrendously harsh here (ooh alliteration :D). Sorry. Here goes:
-It starts off alright enough; I liked the whole "you are, I am" thing. So good job with that :D
-The lines "We will on to/Longer and longer" seem to be a bit unfinished or maybe I'm just misreading it
-"Togetherness our certainty" doesn't make much sense. Is the narrator saying that they'll always be in love? Or that they're certain that they're meant to be together?
-I didn't particularly enjoy the last line. It sounded like a romantic poem up until then and when you hit that last line it was like...woah. What just happened?

So sorry. I'm being brutally honest about my feelings; please forgive me if I'm getting too honest. It's just one of those days, you know? And we all have poems we like better than others. I'M SO SORRY!!! I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS!!!! I'M A HORRIBLE PERSON!!!! Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry... I'll make it up to you somehow.

You shall remain constantly coveted with a heart so expessive and giving. I really enjoyed the poem!
