You are every dark red rosebud, every line of poetry.
When we met, that summer evening, time was halted for a while
And I kissed the stars above us who had given me your smile.
You wore earrings full of starlight and a dress of woven night,
Like a goddess from Olympus you pushed all else from my sight.
There were wisps of silver cloudlets filling spaces in the sky,
In the breeze between the treetops was the sound of nature's sigh;
For she knew she had been bested and the crown was yours to wear,
You were beauty made as woman, there was gold dust in your hair.
In the silver glow of moonlight you are all I want to see,
You are every dark red rosebud, every line of poetry.
Every moment that I've known you I have known that love can grow
And in every word I've written I have put that love on show.
I can taste your tender kisses when you whisper me my name,
If I float across the heavens I will know you are to blame.
When you kissed and called me lover, when you gave me all the world,
I was suddenly immortal and my colours were unfurled.
We can dance until forever under skies of midnight blue
And all I will be thinking is it's me that's here with you.
In the silver glow of moonlight you are all I want to see,
You are every dark red rosebud, every line of poetry.
Please tell me honestly what you think, good or bad.

very nice
Jeff,
You have once again produced a well executed piece, the rhyming and meter is right on and it is a very warm piece, nicely done.

Romantic
You know, women are always given credit for being the ones with the words and the romance pouding in their souls. But I disagree, for reasons like this poem. By the end I was swooning. The woman you wrote this for is extremely lucky; her heart must have melted.

My compliments, Poet, this is a work of art.

whew.
damn. The words are lovely and the mood isnt cheesy or redundant, but splendid.
Romance is bliss, and it's alive and well and living across the pond. Fabulous. Why didnt anyone tell me?
Silver is pleasant, but the moon the moon the moon

you love that moon, dont you? Yeah, me too.
This is an excellent piece from start to finish, you dont need for me to wish you anything.
Love,
jin

Beautiful.....
The title of your write caught my attention... And truly I am not disappointed in this...
I don’t have a favourite part in this, cause as soon as I think this is it, something more extraordinary, is in the next or following line, the one you've written this for, must surely be in Heaven. It is truly breathtaking and I read it now about 5 times.... The rhyme is perfect...
Keep your pen flowing friend, with ink that never fade

I knew I was in for a treat when I saw your name along with the beautiful title in the "Featured" section, and the poem exceeded even my exalted expectations for your writing. The refrain paints a stunning picture, and is a joy to repeat, and you paint love in so many ways throughout the rest of the poem. This poem is on a short list of my favorite pieces on this site.

with a few minor tweeks this would be a sonnet. When I see your poetry, I always think sonnet and start counting
anyway,
it's quite lovely and I'm happy I clicked.

-
wow you are definitely the king of all rhyme.
the flow of this piece is incredible, as is the vocabulary and subject matter.
it amazes me how you're so aware of every aspect of your poetry and manage to create a piece that has every element it needs.
amazing write. -
Wonderful...
A seraphic lexis depicting beauty "In the silver glow of moonlight" made this composition in poetic grand. It is a sublime declaration of love sung with sublime voice.
In respect and admiration,

I don't think the ending is good enough for the rest. I like endings that are even better than the rest, but your rest is darn wonderful and your ending is just plain good.
There's also the stresses in poetry which I mentioned once before, but that's fine.
Lovely, as expected.

This is beautiful. Romaantics are still alive today and you are indeed the best. Good luck in the contest.

(On the other hand, love never made me sprain my ankle.)
Well, I think you have a palpable hit here.

Beautiful title. I loved how you repeated the one line through out the poem. Your imagery in this was breath taking. I actually liked the rhyme in this and I normally hate rhyming stuff so well done. Flowed perfectly. Thanks for entering.
