I've Got An Appetite

I've got an appetite for you,
and all that you do;
the way you stroke my hair
and pull me close when I'm scared

I'm hungry for your love
I'm starving to be with you...
to kiss your lips,
to touch your face,
to smile into your eyes

My appetite for you
is growing in more ways
than you could ever believe
I care about you and no one else

I'm becoming ravenous of you
because you only need to be around me,
you curve my appetite...

Well only for a while...

It is simple and effective, using the metaphor of hunger and desire to portray and reflect the emotions you feel. The last line summing up that despite the passion you feel it doesn't matter if everything is perfect the hunger for more will still be there, I like it, it flows well

Who knew that you can combine terms for food with love? I guess you can! This is very well written, it feels fast paced and almost jolly with love. I can relate. J'adore.

nice poem

[EdgeOfDark]

LOL! That was a cute and fun read, Ta'Shandra! I had a little problem finding the beat, and you had a couple of misused words, (Curb, not Curve! Ravenous 'for' you not 'of' you! ) but good work just the same! ^_^

I like the idea that love can be an all consuming appetite, but try not to overindulge for you may become tired of the same taste too often.

I like the metaphor, it structured nicely and it has rythem which i can apprcieate. I especally like the last 2 lines. very good

[patricia]

gotta be honest I didn't like the appetite theme, but the lines about being pulled close when your scared were sensitive and captured the feelings of love really well.
I think this poem would benefit from a few more draughts. Thanks.

Haha, I just read a comment about how this starts of all "gooey lovey kind of s**t" and then instantly changes to something more sexual. I agree and I like it. It's a great way to combine a romantic love to an erotic love.

I love this. The longing of one lover for their lover is really greatly expressed throughout the whole poem.
