Untitled

A smile that shines,

brighter than any star.

Eyes I get lost in,

so luring and full of love.

Soft lips that speak,

the sweetest of sounds.

I look at you,

and all I see,

is everything I want.

Oh, man of my dreams,

dear love of my life,

won't you stay with me?

It is only you,

that I want to prove,

myself to.

Every day,

for the rest of our lives,

I devote myself to you.

I love you more,

every second of each day,

for what we have is a love,

that shall never fade.

You are the one,

the love of my life.

So please take my hand,

don't ever let go,

and I promise you,

we'll walk through,

every treacherous storm,

with our love as an umbrella.

Author's Note

I wrote this poem for my boyfriend a short while ago. I haven't posted (or written, for that matter) in quite some time, so I figured I'd share and get some opinions. I hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to catching up on some reading. x

Sounds like one of those great relationships. I especially liked the last line, about using love as your umbrella. You've definitely grown as a writer since the last time I saw your stuff, and it shows really clearly in this piece. Hope to see more of your stuff.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate that. I haven't been doing much writing lately but I hope being back on here will give me a little inspiration and help me to get back into it as a new writer.

i really love the last two lines of the poem- the poem had a simplicity to it, but also a great flow, you could tell it came from the heart
