Belong

Belong

A Poem by Colton Warr

She belongs in the temporary moments of a dream 

Taking me away from my nightmare screams

On my knees for my sins, her love redeems

She has, to this day, been my one and only theme 

She belongs to an unknown planet out in space 

I am crash landing and so I brace

The way back home I never want to retrace

Forever we are to roam the stars, hands interlaced

She belongs in the great blue sky

If up is not the way then I have gone awry

We can lay with the clouds until we die

If her touch is the rain, I never want to be dry

She belongs to the vastness of the ocean

Which ever way her tide pulls, that is my motion

Like to the sand the waters soaks, she is my devotion

I have crashed into her like a wave and I love the commotion

She belongs to all of the wonders of our galaxy

She belongs to all of history’s kings and queens

She belongs to the Angel who plays the harp and sings

She belongs to every golden thing, yet here she is kissing me

Love is the true sweetness of life. Nothing compares.
It is everything...
...in its absence we are nothing except lost, awaiting that gentle rush to overwhelm us once again.
It is life's greatest joy...
...and its greatest pain.
It is as a dichotomy in nature.
I miss her so.

Well done, my friend.
I hope that you find love as true as that of my Karin...
...for then you will have everything.

I could have not said it any better than that, my friend! So beautiful! I can't even begin to imagine or comprehend how it would feel to lose someone as perfect as your wife must have been. And I know she was because she picked a strong and loving man to be with. You will see her again one day and you will get to be with her for all of eternity. I am so grateful that you read this piece!

P.S. It makes my soul happy that my words can remind you of someone who sounds like an angel. Just wanted to thank you for giving me that opportunity. Thank you for your support.

She was the strong one, and she truly was an angel.
But she, like all of us, was flawed and had her struggles.
Life can get very ugly sometimes, and soon I'll try to depict her courage in dealing with it.
Thanks.

I love dreams that contain love especially those out of reach, and the longing. What a nice write!

You have captured emotion and love in such a beautiful way with this poem! One obsevation though about form and rhyme.....the first four verses had perfect rhyme, but then the fifth deviated. That's totally up to the poet, but usually I would say the chosen form, either free or rhyming would dictate the structure of the poem.......though sometimes an creative approach could be a somewhat merging of rhyme and free, but then the focus is on a genuine combination.......just my two cents worth :)......Great writing!

[Colton Warr]

Thank you very much, my friend! I greatly appreciate your kind words and your advice! I know exactly what you mean about the rhyme scheme. Most of the time I try and stay in one solid scheme like that but it doesn't hurt to push the creative boundaries just a tad every once in awhile! I'm glad you enjoyed this piece and thank you for giving this a read!

almost a sense of worshiping not only her but the way she makes you feel and being so fully wrapped up in her that she has not only become your world but the oxygen you need to function. beautiful and deeply emotional, this is truly being encapsulated by love.

[Colton Warr]

The poem was brilliant. It contained a strong emotion which could be felt in every stanza. The way you described her importance in the poem was incredible. What captivated me the most was how you were able to interpret your feelings using a variety of different subjects such as the ocean, the planet and so on. It was very well written and well presented.
Well done.
