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!

Aw, this is fantastic. I'm sure she will love this one! The ending to me said something really powerful for a writer, that you just want to write about her. I've experienced this as well with my loved one, it's amazing how much wonderful work you can create all thanks to one person. Great job and congratulations :)

[Colton Warr]

Thank you very much, Amber! She absolutely loved it and I loved that she loved it! I'm glad you enjoyed this piece, especially the ending! It is very amazing what comes out of my pen when my heart is with her. Thank you so much for giving this a read!

[Asmus Green]

I just recently wrote a poem about a breakup I went through many years ago. This one reminds me a lot of how I felt before that event.

Good piece buddy! Great job on getting the emotions going and making them powerful. Especially one of the last lines, "I am forever intimidated to write for a girl like you" I relate a lot to that.
How can even your best satisfy the ones you love the most? It is hard to see when you are in love. Wonderful piece!

[Colton Warr]

Thank you so much, Asmus! I'm glad you could feel the emotion within these words. I agree, I always feel as if my words are never good enough to be read by her eyes. I appreciate your kind review! Thank you for reading!

[Mai L Nissen]

Quite a tribute to someone special! You use a classic imagery many places - yet it works really well for this poem. You get a sense of the impossibility of finding words to truly do justice to your feelings for this person. I like the the contrast in some of your other descriptions for instance using the word 'marinate':
"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"

I like the juxtaposition of interlocked and utterly free: "For when I am interlocked with you I feel utterly free"

I really enjoyed this poem. If I have to point something out, it would be the fact that some of the lines are quite long and not quite as fluid as the shorter lines. This does not overshadow the all-over impression of the poem, though :)

[Colton Warr]

Thank you so much, Mai! I appreciate your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed this piece! I'm glad you could feel the strength of affection and emotion within these words! I am very grateful for your kind review! Thank for reading!

Sweet, sounds like someone has it bad for a certain someone. Nice idea for a write. Valentine

[Colton Warr]
