Keeping me at bay

 

Words can’t describe how I missed you in my arms.

The scent of your skin had erased the longing I feel.

My heart beat is in tune with yours.

A night’s romance ends with a warm hug.

A hug that takes my worries away, keeping them at bay.

It’s been long my love, but it’s worth the wait.

Because now I am here with you

And that’s all that matters.

Simple, elegant and beautiful.

And I thought to call myself the poet prince...

I would like to make a few suggestions as to the wording. Only minor mistakes, given tense and whatnot.

Sentence 2; 'have' should be 'has' and changed 'erase' to 'erased'. That keeps the tense constant.

Sentence 5; this one is a bit more tricky. I think what you were going for it to say that the hug removes your worries and makes sure they do not bother you. If that is the case, I would alter 'makes', changing it to 'takes' and change 'me' to 'them'.

Sentence 6; I would change 'to' into the word 'the'. Or you could go a different route and put the word 'it' before 'to'.

Aside from those things, which the alterations are merely suggestions based on what I think you were going for, this is great. I enjoyed the romance here, my friend.

I know how that goes. I've "lost" more than a few poems that way. I'm glad I could help.

And it's all that matters, when it's true love, well spoken here Paxie, I loved the honesty, and the romance of true quill flowing through your ink... you're a sincere man, bro, and friend.... even if it's maybe fictional, I still believe it, which means the world to me, that's what's writing is about, you know?

It's just all that matters.... he and she.... she and he.... no world to watch, just to enjoy eachother.
Well done bro. It's good to be back!
