Plum Lips.

I have been told that although I may be a good writer and poet, I rarely tackle one of the true inspirations for writers everywhere - love, so here goes, be warned, it may not be by best.

My thoughts frail the edges of memory,

Our glass is stained plum with sweetness,

You pour hearts into kisses on my lips,

Touched in hands soft rounded kindness.

 

A prayer of bodies wrapped in sweat,

The eyes see souls inside all creation,

May Gods of new bless willing hearts,

Amen to hopes come through reaction.

 

Emotion and talent swing clocks of time,

Dates and scenes crave important few,

Lead faith an softness behind my heart,

Drained spirits renewed again the two.

 

Lights flicker in windows now old and grey,

Colours fade yet stay fresh as we tend,

I love you my friend, my lover, my man,

Now join my being we will never end.

Be honest, try not to be to harsh!

Love poems are not easy, I stay away from them when I can, but this is good, the thing is with love poems, the less you say the more power they have, imagery is a way of giving thoughts of what you want to say, that make any sense? anyway it's a good read, enjoyable.

Sadly I'm a harsh critic. What should I do? :D

[Miss Marie Riorden.]

You seem to have captured it quite well you know. It's not even bad. I like your choice of words and the imagry they possess. I also love the whole "Gods" thing. You're focusing on more than just one religion. Great read.

[Poetic Beauty]

This is a great love poem. It is delicate and sweet with a bit of spice. Your emotions are show clearly and reader is allowed to feel this feelings, and hear private thoughts.

Perfect rhyme I like that the emotion as well seems a Sara Teasedale moment of a dream wrapped in reality

Good imagery. It's meaningful and emotional without gushing and being flowery. Well done. :)
