Aurora

Aurora will you wait this time

no more guilty pleasures

Loving you is my only crime

Your heart I wish to treasure

I'm feeling your vibe across the universe

Making contact with my mind

Distance has been our only curse

There's nowhere I won't seek and find

Wrapped under a blanket of stars

I need you like the desert needs the rain

Your voice cleansing all my scars

Till I no longer feel a longing pain

You give me a celestial fever

Pumping my blood and numbing my brain

Reality disappears into the ether 

The thought of your vision drives me insane

We've been riding shotgun on our dreams

Let's hold on tight to how we feel

I believe it when my heart screams

Because I know this love is real

Aurora you're my space

Surround me completely

Someday we'll meet face to face

And I'll kiss you deeply

I love this and hung onto every word. Your play with words and the passion you show when you write is phenominal. You write like a romantic. Xo

You're a Goddess

I've always liked this picture. Vaguely remember using it as a profile photo once.. Your rhymes are very eloquent, straightforward and conventional in their pattern, yet somehow discreet and tasteful. I find that very refreshing. Your writing is relatable, clever and you take me on a visual journey by every stanza, making me want to read more. The music enhances how your words already make me feel. I enjoyed the poem very much.

[Najam Us Saher]

Very passionate. The choice of words makes this poem very effective. I loved this.

[Amidrea Ming]

ahh... this is so lovely... i love your choice of music to go along with it
what wonderful word choice -- this makes me feel wistful and full of hope

[barleygirl]

It’s very creative to use “Aurora” as a person’s name & then also using imagery that is reminiscent of the aurora borealis. I like the way your poem sounds primarily addressed to a far-off love that cannot be reached, yet it can also represent some natural phenomenon, such as “the aurora” . . . or any spiritual entity of one’s choosing, that flits around in the sky of one’s imagination. Good rhyme & rhythm, plus the way your poem starts out simply stated & then grows more passionate as each stanza goes along (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I really enjoyed reading this one.
I guess we fall in love with souls before faces. I kindly feel this poem so deeply, I am talking to a guy who is living in a another country but he got my heart already I can't wait to see him to be with him face to face . Beautiful written .

[KeeD]

Long distance love is one of the most passionate and amazing experiences to encounter in a lifetime. I hope it works out for you and you have a happily ever after. Thank you for the kind review.

[Zoya]

Celestial fever, eh? What wonderful phrases in this one! I'm not sure but this probably has something to do with aurora borealis (?)
Beautiful write, could sure be turned into a sweet little song.

[KeeD]

Haha yeah Zoe, you figured it out. I've got a thing for comparing beautiful anomalies or encounters in the universe to a woman so for me it is about both the phenomena and the human :)

[Zoya]

Ahh, i see

[Chris Shaw]

Lyrics. Beautiful lyrics, you need someone to sing this. Gentle and whimsical. Someone similar to Kate Bush to do your words justice. Very well done, and hello pleased to meet you.

Chris

Hi! thanks for stopping by and giving me a lovely review, It warms my little heart that people can see this as lyrics because lyrics reach out and touch. Kate Bush is amazing, thank you for your amazing review.

[Chris Shaw]

You are very welcome.I love the piano instrumental by the way. Very relaxing to listen to while I read you words.You are a talented writer. I read lots of poetry and have done for years.

[KeeD]

I'm actually just getting a cup of coffee because i'm so excited to read your creativity that you've shared on this site with us. I really love that you appreciate music, I'll be honest i'm no great writer by any means, I just write to music, when I hear something play it makes me feel in some sort of way and implants an idea and I just roll with it. I've never sat on a poem longer than its inception. I just blurt it out with flaws and everything.. So when you hear the music specially via my words it means the world to me. Thank you!

[Chris Shaw]

Have come back a week later for a second read, I love this so much. Hello Keegan.

[KeeD]

Hi Chris, that's really sweet of you to do so. I just underwent surgery so forgive my absence on your page, i'll visit shortly and inspire myself with words that reach out and grab my soul and make my emotions feel like they have a personality of their own.

[Lola_Bee]

wow, just wow, your play and words and modern touch on each verse is refreshing. Its beautiful and whimsical. well done

[KeeD]

I really like how its appreciated as whimsical that makes me happy, because after all isn't every love story some kinda fairy tale that's happening in reality. Thank you for your kind review.
