I Want It All With You

Sun peaking through the green folds over our heads.

I laugh along to the thought of my death.

Purple diffused amongst souls amused

And I find it funny how we all pretend,

Like living dreams are out of fire and everything is perfect,

But I'd be better off wild and free from my head.

I want it all with you.

Filling our hearts to the brim with anything if we choose.

I want it all with you.

Satin sheets tangled around our legs and

You really think that love has no end.

Dark blue skies reflect in your eyes

And I knew that it meant

This was all that mattered, the summer nights we spent

Forgetting about troubles even if it was just for a second.

I want it all with you.

Filling our hearts to the brim with anything if we choose.

I want it all with you.

I wouldn't mind being doped up on the pretty things life tempts us with

And forgetting about the darkness behind it.

I wouldn't mind being drugged by dreams while my own thieves wait and scheme

And catch me when I'm floating.

I wouldn't mind because I want it all with you.

This poem has harvested my heart, for I can relate so well with your poem. We humans like to live in an illusion, the safety bubble of life but sometimes, you need to pop this bubble in order to be free. When you are free and your mind is not bounded, love will feel so much more real.

Good job :D

Great insights thanks for your review!

[Crystal Overmeyer-Birmi..]

really liked the line you ended this with. Loved the feel and the overall flow of the piece. Really elegant writing with out seeming old and outdated.

how sweet! poems about love and romance are my favorite so far and this one is a prime example of how they should look/feel/sound like.. it felt nice and mellow too as though this poem was formed whilst sleeping..

Haha it definitely took some time writing, although some parts did come to me on a natural whim. read moreHaha it definitely took some time writing, although some parts did come to me on a natural whim.

Maria M: Love it; flow is very good, great rhythm, I Want It All With You...feeled with passion; it was as if the world was meant for two, you continually reinforced that message throughout each line; nothing else mattered, just love; that feeling, those moments together; time is fleeting, live in the moment. Thank you. Dale

I have a question or two if you don't mind my asking. In the second line did you mean to say "I laugh alone"? I'm not sure what you mean by this phrase "Like living dreams are out of fire" can you explain what it for me? This should be an interesting song lyrics, that is how you intend to use this as song lyrics?

[Isabel]

I don't mind at all! For your first question, I do mean "along". As for your second question, with my experiences I have learned that a lot of people tend to go about their lives thinking that chasing your dream is overrated and that thought itself I think happens because those people possibly lack passion. Some people go around pretending that passion, or the "fire burning inside you" as I've heard, isn't something you need to drive you. Lastly, this poem can be anything really. It's up to your interpretations, but I can see how it could be like song lyrics. I hope I was able to clear up those questions for you! 😊

[Bear]

Yes that did answer my questions and thank you for the explanation, I now see where I misinterpreted the whole second line. I have read a number of poems that have used the word fire in an unfamiliar way to me which I chalked up to being old and out of date, but with your explanation I think I understand the thinking behind the usage so thank you for that :~)
