Thoughts of you

Thoughts of you

A Poem by Abdul Aziz

An icy sight: it's scorching bright -
You set my heart on fire.
I feel alright, but shine alight
With the glimmer of desire.

The road glides on like an endless song-
Enchanting, is the view.
A halcyon eternal dawn
When kissed by thoughts of you.

Now runs the sun, he comes undone -
He's drenched, with dewy palms.
He stops the fun, the race is won -
You've imbued him with calm.

Turquoise dreams, cerulean themes-
The sky runs out of praise.
It bursts at seams or so it seems -
You've set it all ablaze.

The clouds are shy: how low they fly -
They offer me a clue.
They try and try, I don't know why
To make me think of you.

I sit and think with misty blinks -
You cool my raging eyes.
My smiles - they cling to smiley winks
And your promising goodbyes.

I have a very harsh and critical eye when it comes to poems of love... but this poem ranks as the best positive appraisal of that much-vaunted emotion that I have read in a while... probably ever here on this site. And it is a man, ironically, who manages to achieve that esoteric claim.
This is truly a very beautiful testament to the subject and is conceived with intelligence and a high skill for finding the right words and rhyme.
"Turquoise dreams, cerulean themes-
The sky runs out of praise.
It bursts at seams or so it seems -
You've set it all ablaze. "
..This verse is outstanding poetry, the sort of standard that should be set in this kind of genre. I only wish I could advertise that fact more widely than I am able to. The message: THIS is how to write a love poem.

Thank you!
I agree with Devon. You are the best contemporary English poet I have met on WC from our country. I try to look for flaws in grammar or structuring when I read poetry but these verses are perfect and the rhyming is great. All the feelings come across beautifully.

This poem is absolutely brilliant! The description and imagery are unimaginably good. The last stanza ended the poem really well. I loved it! Keep writing!

A wonderful demonstration of rhyme and meter. I know from experience that the rhyming style you have used here is very difficult to do, and you do it expertly here. Fantastic.

I thought this to be a clever, well executed composition....every other line set to internal rhyme as well as your ab,ab rhyming scheme. Your choice of verse seemed to exhibit a movement of fluidity with pleasant and aesthetic lyricism.

Turquoise dreams, cerulean themes-
The sky runs out of praise.
It bursts at seams or so it seems -
You've set it all ablaze.

That's gorgeous, pieces of this are very comfortable and very beautiful, a modern, yet elegant love poem, with a hint of darker imagery. Great write

something about this dragged me in and forced me to read it. wonderful descriptions and imagery - "Turquoise dreams, cerulean themes-
The sky runs out of praise.
It bursts at seams or so it seems -
You've set it all ablaze."

Gosh this poem kinda 'raises' my standards of liking romantic poetry. Again, I must appreciate your choice of words and your ability to transform your imagination into art. Superb.

These lines are strikingly beautiful:

"A halcyon eternal dawn
When kissed by thoughts of you."

"Turquoise dreams, cerulean themes-
The sky runs out of praise.
It bursts at seams or so it seems -
You've set it all ablaze."

"My smiles - they cling to smiley winks
And your promising goodbyes."

The last stanza is completely endearing!

A very flattering and picturesque verse. Perfect in all aspects of Rhyme, meter and imagery (and Flattery :P). This is (another) one of your poems I wish was mine :( :P Though I suck at meters, lol. Many lines stood out,

"A halcyon eternal dawn
When kissed by thoughts of you."

"You've set it all ablaze."

"You cool my raging eyes.
My smiles - they cling to smiley winks
And your promising goodbyes. "

Very well done, machi.. :)
