You are...

You are...

You are a diamond blooming in the heavens;

A tangible source of everlasting love.

You feed on what is below and above.

You curl yourself in times of weakness,

Around  gallant poles stuck not within holes;

You roam through sea's skies and meadows.

You bow to all who cross you;

A courteous defeat surrounds you.

You are the epitome of self righteousness.

You shadow the beauty in the world;

An apprentice of love and courage.

You are moonlight in the palm of my hands.

You are the dance that has not been danced;

A step or two in the right direction.

Your smile is at least infectious.

You stay inside and play outside;

You see the evil like the good would.

You unfold mysteries linking life and death.

You are rain upon a rainbow;

A piece of the puzzle of life.

You interrupt anger and summon bliss.

You collide with the stars out your window.

You form approximate innuendos.

You glisten with diamonds around you-

While the sun shines behind you-

You levitate with open arms;

I've seen your gentle charm.

You are,

Simply magnetic;

Your fields green and abundant.

You are,

Overly beautiful.

Your eyes a world for one to see into.

You are...

Everything.

much advice you're given here! but remember this:

the artistic value of any poem, song, story etc is determined by a few simple things-

1. How real is it to the reader? How much does it invite the reader to participate or contribute to it from their own reality, ideas etc?
2. Does it have adequate technique to produce an emotional impact?

And really, that is about all! There really is NO set rules about how it has to be done. Individual people like whatever THEY like...it can be in perfect meter and rhyme or it can be in total freestyle non-rhyming UNmetered clubfooted anomaly and be a stunner!

I thought your piece was AWESOME! It communicates purely and has great impact and is metaphorically fresh and lacking in "cliche" sentiment.

VERY WELL DONE!

awww ♥ you certainly put this person on a pedestal and we tend to do that for "the apple" of our eye lol. All of the humble and beautiful qualities you see in this person was constantly highlighted and I enjoyed the heart and mind behind it :)
