Teach Me Philosophy

Woman in Love

I cannot find the definition
For what's in my soul
It's not a rare condition
But it's a part of my whole

A feather gliding down
To the waiting solid ground
Teach me philosophy
There's nothing I cannot be

When I look into his eyes
I start to tremble and chill
And when he looks back into mine
I can feel my heart swell

Beauty is skin deep
Aging is predictable
Growing fonder of you
Is only natural

I can taste your sweet breath
And your soft feather lips
And I long everyday
For your sweet kiss

I want you to want me
Through the depths of your soul
I want you to need me
As I make your parts into a whole

A loving embrace 

Fills us with grace

There is nothing left to defend

We shall have no end

Every time we're apart i think of him

It is a gift not a sin

And a fantastical whim

In which my heart swims

this is smooth...i really like your use of slant rhyme in this...
a very romantic love poem...in 5th stanza, did you mean "And your soft feather lips"? that is how i read that line...but yes, emily D. made such good use of slant rhyme, and you make it so natural...i am not so much a fan of rhyme, but like it in this poem very much...you are subtle...

[MerylDivya]

Yes, indeed I meant your. I often skip proofreading when I write. Thank you for helping. I didn't even know about the term slant line to be honest. I just wrote it. I'm going to look up the term :)

slant rhyme or near rhyme as it is also called, is when the words are close but not exact in their rhyming..

like "by" and "boy"

[realmwriter]

This a good write. Perhaps a little disjointed in the third stanza. Though maybe I am getting the rhyme here. But the rhythm is good and it flows well. Over all I do like it.

When I wrote this for an ex in Tucson we had gone to a bookstore and there was a woman with a guitar outside. She read this poem and put it to music while singing the poem! It's better than getting a reward for it in my opinion.

This is one interesting write, and the end was essence of your deep and meaningful poetry.

this is such a romantic beautiful poem...being a hopeless romantic myself, i really enjoy these sorts of poems. goo job, i loved it

[Rene Salinas]

Really calm and inviting I felt that you where sharing your feelings while I was reading. It is always a good moment the coming to gether with another one in union. Very pleasant to read and soothing like in waves.
It must be my own idiocy however that I created a picture of a Philosophical proportions in my head and at every paragraph I was actively trying to "figure it out" when Love is relentless and will not abide by that. Thanyou DivyaGurl .

Than you Rene

[Frieda P]

Enjoyed, any of these stanzas could stand alone....like the soft feather lips one the best!
