...The One

She is...In Time...The One. Happy One Year Anniversary to my beloved.

...The One

A Poem by Colton Warr

Many eyes will be able to see these words

Yet yours are the only that I prefer 

Let them become your vision  

An idea of this life without you I have interred

Many hearts will be able to feel these words 

Yet yours is the only that I prefer 

Let them marinate within your arteries 

And let the words of any other go unheard 

Many smiles may cut through many faces 

Yet yours cuts through all of the ages 

Let that starry smile of yours shine 

And I want to see that smile as we travel to different places  

Many souls may detonate into fire 

Yet yours connects with mine and inspires 

Let our souls eternally intertwine 

If I have you, there is nothing else in this life I wish to acquire 

                                 *

Four

You have a smile that I would do anything for 

As soon as I see it I feel the butterflies frolic within my core

Its perfection is like the slow rolling waves against the sandy shore

And to know that I make you smile the most is a thought I eternally adore

Three

Your hands are as soft as all of the clouds that I can see

They fit so perfectly with mine, I volunteer to be their detainee  

And to my heart, these angelic hands of yours hold the key 

For when I am interlocked with you I feel utterly free

Two

Looking into your eyes makes me feel like our love is new

I can see the sun and the stars, the world has no better view

I lose myself to their gaze and think this must be voodoo 

Then I return to myself and my eyes consume all of you

One

I have met no other human who’s heart has done what yours has done

When I first heard your laugh, I was paralyzed, stunned 

And when our lips first met my heart felt as if it was shot by a gun

Is there anyone else you’d rather be with, you ask? None. 

                                     *

I am forever thinking to myself, these words are not good enough 

How could they ever be for a girl who is so above?

I am forever drinking from the Grail of what we can become 

I hope you understand, doll, that this is no bluff 

I am forever intimidated to write for a girl like you 

But write for you forever is something I must do 

What I have implicated is that no matter what we go through 

You are the ink within my pen and forever my Muse

There is a man in my life that I live without. I found my voice in poetry because of him. He inspires me. Maybe one day. Your poem touched me because I thought of him. The tears in my eyes are because your words stirred me. Thank you for letting me feel him through your words.

[Colton Warr]

Wow, I am blown away by this review. Words can't describe how I feel, the fact that I moved you in such a manner. That's beautiful. I am honored to have created something that has touched you in such a way where you think of this man in your life and how he inspires you. Honored. I'm glad you enjoyed this piece. Thank you so much for reading!

Now that you have already said it is for her who are we to review it.. Lol. Anyway, a nice poem. May be not the greatest literary achievement but the best one can write about his loved one. A true dedication, precious gift and a love epic. Wonderful. Thanks for sharing and may you two celebrate many more beautiful anniversaries.

[Colton Warr]

Thank you very much, Penny! I appreciate the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed this one! Thank you for the well wishes too! I am grateful for your read and review!

[Penny]

It has totally my pleasure. I am even more greatful to read your work

[Jake Kokoris]

A lot of imagery related to possession/acquiring the object of your affection made it seem more real. What you captured is that we don't think objectively about our crushes and lust, sometimes they are just compacted into a "thing". That's when we have to check ourselves. The "marinate" line was especially powerful too.

[Colton Warr]

Exactly! Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed a few lines within this piece! Thanks for stopping by and giving it a read!

[Crystal Overmeyer-Birmi..]

Beautifully haunting and tender. I really loved the sections and how they added a new element to the overall feel and presentation of the piece

[Colton Warr]

Tears of happiness were rolling down, for this poem has touched the very core of my soul. When I read the words, the feelings and emotions behind the words are connecting with my mind and makes me so happy. You have just fueled the flame of my love for the girl that I love. I can now enjoy her existence in my life even more, for your words are so inspiring and one day I shall tell her that I love her but until that day, I shall enjoy my school life and your awesome poems. Thank you for another awesome poem.

Good job :D

[Colton Warr]

Thank you very much, my good friend! I'm glad I could move you so much! There is nothing better as a writer than hearing that the words I put together have moved someones soul that much. I appreciate you sharing that with me! I'm glad I could refuel your love and adoration for you and the one you admire! Enjoy her! And what a fine day it shall be when you tell her you love her! Magic will dance in the night sky! I appreciate your kind review! Thank you so much for giving this one a read!

This is really moving. I don't normally read poems or stories like this. I am very happy that I did though. This was well put together. So many thoughts and memories I don't know where to begin. Great poem.
