First Love's Journey: Sent a message to Moderator; have no idea what the capped letters are in blue, so sorry...maybe my explorer settings? I'm computer clueless, please for me.
A
Dream Creation….
Throughout
vineyards we walk hand in hand
Green
fertile meadows wet with dewdrops stand
Our
bare-feet applaud with a ringlet of chills
Encompassing
a wonderland beacon passions thrill
Like
a miracle offering a soft calming breeze blows
Winds
sprinkling fresh red courage upon our abode
As
charity grows inside our hearts placid paced places
Dreams
of fantasy laced and tied by God’s graces
Fruits
abundant fill our rising hunger; curious desires from Gods’ wonders
Like
a kaleidoscope turning the moonlight, clematis lavender and milky white
Jeweled
with electric light fuchsia opening exuding sweet fragrance into our night
We
rush over the splendor of supple lands giving us pleasure yearned for at last
The
valley rolls out anticipation; questions and dreams of the past revel in our
creation
Tickle
soft skin like raindrops in the desert, thirsting we drank it all in
Never
questioning whence it came, just joy and elation compelling us away
Our
eyes locked under the canopy of a million gleaming stars,
Watching
our every move, they twinkled with excitement as our new love bloomed.
His
eyes said he would reach beyond the universe and retrieve the brightest star
But
he touched my face and said you are more beautiful by far
He
said he had waited forever for this moment to arrive
And
he kissed me so gently in our pleasure’s paradise…..
Please provide me with any suggestions: this is very challenging to me; so many people here do it so well, but I tried. I know it is clique. I think I'll skip this genre for a LONG while. Thank you so much.
My Review

An interestingly unpredictable/inconstant rhyme scheme is employed here (or perhaps it is merely how the words naturally evolved on the page), but the wording, imagery and descriptive language eclipses the whole with intelligence and imagination.
The landscape and atmosphere evoked in the poem is indeed dream-like, and in fact at times almost seems -not surreal- but somehow cosmic, in a sense, like another world. And that is what the concept, ideal and idea of love is capable of conjuring by feeling - since feelings are unseeable and therefore can only be represented by words or pictures. I think the subtle other-world imagery creates a dream-scape only a little removed from the real, yet just enough to be fantasy, and that fits the world of dreams and love exactly.
It's interesting that the poem builds into love, rather than using the theme as its basis - that presents a kind of question and answer balance with the piece as a whole. ie. love is a kind of dream, a kind of fantasy, in which life is perfect and a perfect place for love. Also, the slight sense of the unreal and impossible creates a kind of parallel to love as an ideal: it is what what we dream of and how we interpret it, but it is not how it really is, ultimately...
The use of language here flourishes and paints with artistic imagination.
NB there are places where -within lines- perhaps there ought to be commas inserted in order to deliver the meaning with more complete effectiveness.
PS What do you mean by "I know it is clique"? Are you talking about the poem style or content or theme?

A dream creation like this should go untouched not a blemish in the hidden words on one. I enjoy every twist every turn and of the canopy of the sky with all the stars above this I do love Many of expressions of love rapped into the sky and stars above Sweet revelations Of our pleasured paradise arriving at the very end Like ti was planned from the beginning A forever moment has arrived or love will survive.
Beautiful piece! It's funny I've left the comment your story read like a poem several times.
Though this is the first time to say, your poem read like a beautiful love story. I thought it was amazing!

Your poem shows how dreams florish when they are fed with the food of love. How the heart is enraptured by the thought, the presense, even the anticipation of soon being with the one you love. I recall, all to well, the pictures you portray with such beautiful eloquence. It doesn't take much to see, feel the love that you share with your lover.
I would prefer the work to stand without the pretty additions.
This work is not bad, technically much better than some of the rubbish I've read.
The review by Nadia B is about right.
Oh my goodness, this isn't cliche; it's beautifully worded with your unique poetic voice! The only images that might be a little overused are the raindrops in the desert and the canopy of stars. A touching expression of that giddy feeling of being in love.
Vocabulary: collide-a-scope should be kaleidoscope.
It soothes the soul and calms the mind wish for a place like your pleasure’s paradise defines.....WONDERFUL!

Such wonderful use of words and alliteration all through out your poem, there is a sense of flow and the imagery abundant. Really enjoyable and the ending make one wish to live such a dream come true. It has all the right tones and just really appreciated it. No suggestions, it perfect as it is, thank you for sharing, please keep writing!
