Watching the Stars

A love poem of longing ....

I stand and watch the stars

So bright up in the sky

And know than many miles away

They twinkle in your eye

For distance is irrelevant

When deepest love we share

The memory of your touch

Just wipes away all cares

And though my heart aches softly

Whilst my arms are empty too

I just remember all the things

That I have shared with you

It makes the days go easier

And helps me through the nights

So that I’ll wait here patiently

For your sweet soft delights

I’ve never known a love before

That makes me see so clear

And gives me gentle calmness

As I wait for future years

For we are always soulmates

With laughter there to share

And passion bubbling gently

Awaiting time to flare

I feel the sweetness of your lips

Your sensual bright touch

And every sense within me

Shouts I love you so much

So when the time is ready

Return back here to me

And in my arms I’ll welcome you

For all eternity

This is lovely, Phil.

I cannot tell you how many times I've taken comfort in knowing we are all under the same sky, the same stars.
That idea has always comforted me. I do hope you don't have to wait long.... you deserve better than to wait an eternity my friend.

My best to you, always

From the very start, your poem shows such peace about the love you hold...
"I stand and watch the stars So bright up in the sky And know than many miles away They twinkle in your eye"
Your poem is created from this love and it shows so beautifully throughout. You speak of hope and that replaces the sadness of being apart.
Your poem's ending is gorgeous and I adore the wording in your writing....
"Your sensual bright touch And every sense within me Shouts I love you so much So when the time is ready Return back here to me And in my arms I'll welcome you For all eternity"
I especially like your usage of the word "Shouts" here...displaying the love that awakened!

I reckon prolonged exposure to your romantic ballad style is actually very theraputic. It is optimistic and uplifting...I reckon people in need of a bit of brightness in their lives would be far better off with your words to hand than a packet of prosac or a bottle of gin. I am serious. Words can calm and heal. I don't feel in need of healing myself, though a bit of calming might not be amiss, but I definitely feel there is a soothing quality to your expressions of simple yearning or loving fulfilment. The things you describe are fundamental human needs yet which, for a great many, are, or seem to be, forever beyond them.

So romantic! I love the way you rhyme the words! I try to write in rhyme, and it just doesn't work for me but it really does for you! I too believe that love lasts for all eternity. Fabulous write.
