Is This Real?

 

 

 

 

 

From the first time I gazed in your beautiful eyes

The earth just stopped turning and time stood so still

You lit up my heart like a star in the sky

I was losing my breath for it didn't seem real

 

Your beauty is like magic, you're a dove in the sky

You soar above the rest and you fly with such grace

The wings of an Angel, yes you taught me to fly

Mesmorized by your aura as I analyze your face

 

Enchanted by your presence everytime that you're near

I can feel your heart beating, a kind heart you have

Everytime you absorb me, I shed many tears

For you are my future, and I see no more past

 

Some simply believe that love cannot exist

Someday you'll get hurt, and just give it all up

Well my heart is all yours, I just cannot resist

I shall eateth from your fruit and shall drinketh from your cup

 

But I just need to know, is this all just a dream?

Will I pinch myself just to find out it's all fake?

Am I all by myself? We're not really a team?

If so, please be quiet, for I don't want to wake

 

I'll keep my eyes closed and listen to the sound

Of the beautiful melody that our bodies create

Your scent's so delicious, there's none other around

Your soul is so pure like a child by the lake

 

I'm glad that I found you in dreams or real life

You're forever in my heart, you're embelished in my mind

The feeling of love, to me just feels so right

And my love you do possess until the end of all time

 

From the first time I gazed in your beautiful eyes

The earth just stopped turning, and time stood so still

You lit up my heart like a star in the sky

I'm still losing my breath for this doesn't seem real

Wow, whoever you are referring to is one special lady. My favorite part is:
But I just need to know, is this all just a dream?
Will I pinch myself just to find out it's all fake?
Am I all by myself? We're not really a team?
If so, please be quiet, for I don't want to wake

One too many times have people awakened me...somtimes I would have liked to dream a bit longer.

Great poem!

My dear you have once again brought tears to my eyes... And it's true, the past is taken
away by the future. Being in love gives us an entirely new outlook on life.
Beautifully penned dear.

First of all, thank you for reviewing my writing. I put a lot of thought into most of what I write, although some of it just comes- like the fallen black prince.

Anyway, I do like this piece. It's romantic and sentimental without being gaggingly fluffy. Lol. I'd love to see what you'd come up with if you did a free-form poem.

Hi J.C.,

You certainly have established quite a following here, and I can see why! I also liked the opening and closing verses being the same...I've done this a couple of times myself, and I think it reads beautifully if it's done just right.

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. I lost mine too, and we were very close. Now, all you can do is to honor her memory, and make her proud by instilling a part of you into your poetry!

My best,
Kelly

I have to agree with all the other reviews you have for this poem. It's very beautiful! So much passion!

Dark Knight,

You are writing love in many hearts...

Beautimous

[Kimmee Jean]

i like it but you need a little more fire in your words...when you write about love...be it to someone or about it in general...you want it not to be like anyone else's...i feel like i have read this before... be a bit more original and you will see a genius you never thought you were

KEEP ON TRUCKIN'!

I like the repetition of the opening stanza as the ending, this has wonderfully smooth rhythm, powerful word choices, and is quite soft and romantic. I hope to see more of your work soon.
