...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 love when a poem is written and the rhyme doesn't feel forced. You've really written a beautiful piece of poetry! I commend you for making something so utterly moving.

There's just one line I don't quite understand fully: "Many smiles may cut through many faces". Maybe I just don't know how to interpret it, but it just seems a bit...odd to me. What did you mean?

But overall, I really do think you did fantastic :) Well done!

[Colton Warr]

Thank you so much, Teddy! Your words are too kind! I'm glad you enjoyed this piece! The line you speak of is up to the reader to interpret. However, I meant it in the sense that her smile is one of a kind and will be remembered forever. I appreciate your review! Thanks for reading!

oh my goodness!! There are too many beautiful images and words in this to begin to dissect them, but who would want to? By such a cruel act would the beauty be destroyed. One of the best I've read on here, point blank.

Colton their is a definite beauty in your writing. I love romantic and faithful poems. You hit the mark right form the beginning with the line:

Many eyes will be able to see these words
Yet yours are the only that I prefer

Those were compelling words and they speak totally of love and commitment. Great Job!

[Colton Warr]

Something about this poem really took a hold of me. I could just imagine each word playing out to the emotion you created. Each word felt real, and props to the amount of vocab you got going in there. The point got across in this poem and I could really feel it. You deserve my prize. Thanks for entering my contest and keep writing. I'd definitely like to read more of your work.

Sincerely Rockel M.
