For you.

For you.

With an eye for genuine wisdom,
I clutched your hand and lured you in.
Across an enchanted forest with impassable fog,
I made out your face and it was honest beauty.

You hymned my name through the soft coiled mist,
I replied with what I thought a memorable kiss.
Covered with impeccable virtue and confident style,
I rose to my feet and stared for a time.

With shivers and shocks from your mesmerising debris,
I fell into a dream where I strolled on the sea.
But still I searched for your dear vacant soul,
To uncover and save it was my only ambition.

You laughed and cried and never whispered goodbye,
It was a staggering day though full of passionate sighs.
Yet still in my mind I pondered the heavenly,
Your elegant figure succumbed to my imaginable finger.

I noticed you in a dream last night bordering confession,
Our eyes sealed with an everlasting obsession.
I had you then but now I cease to ask for reality,
Was it I you adored, or the company we implored?

This has an ancient, old-timey mystical n' mythical feel like it's been carved in rock by children on a remote mountain top....My favorite verse is the 4th, n' the mysterious image you paint of "my imaginable finger"....You rocked me like a lyric from Led Zeppelin IV. Your words ring like a guitar, n' "For You" hit me like the hammer of the gods. ㋡

Enchanting I like your style. It has a dark beauty to it. Like something out of a Grimm Fairy Tale.

This was beautiful mate. I loved this poem so much. So much heart and emotion put into this piece, and it flows really well. You have a good way with words, and whoever this is to I hope they see it. Once again, a very beautiful poem. It made me tear a little, I can relate to it.. But good job, cheers!
