I would collect the stars and moon for you
The stars reflecting the shine in your eyes
You brighten up my life like a million fireworks
There's not one spark that doesn't burn for you
~*~
Your embrace is like amphetamine to my heart;
Leaving me with a never ending high and desire
Your words of love coax my entire soul
Every second with you is like pure magic
My heart is drenched in kerosene;
A passionate flame only for you
Like a sunset in the sky;
You color my world with hope
You hold my world in your hands;
I know that you'll never break it
Like pink pastel roses;
You make me feel beautiful
Breathe into my soul;
Inhale my love for you
I'll sew all of your scars;
Exhale your purest bliss
Draw sharpie hearts in my soul;
They're permanent so they'll never fade
Our hearts are intertwined together;
Scorching like lava to become one
I'd draw the midnight sky on your wall;
Our names laced in the middle of it
Just look at it whenever you're lonesome;
I promise that I will always appear
~*~
My dearest beloved, I cherish you
I will love you until the stars refuse to shine
You are engraved into my heart;
That's where you'll always reside

"I would collect the stars and moon for you
The stars reflecting the shine in your eyes
You brighten up my life like a million fireworks
There's not one spark that doesn't burn for you"
This is perhaps one of the sweetest and least cliche love poems I've ever laid eyes on. Whoever this is for, if anyone, should feel extremely honoured to have such a poem dedicated to them. Wow. Just blew me away.
-
This poem definately radiates a lot of beautiful, sweet and tender feelings within the lines here. You have done an excellent job expressing yourself towards the one you've written this for.
The write felt a little bit cliché in my opinion, but then again, writing about love without cliché is impossible - so I'm not going to make a point out of this
Thank you for entering the contest, I wish you the best of luck!

wow... this poem is very deep. although it seems a tad bit obsessive but not the bad kind. I really liked how it started out, that made me smile big. I love intence poems with a lot of imiagery. (sorry I know I can't spell that well... it sucks that this thing doesn't have spell check. I would give you more opinons on this.... but unfourninally... I am sick and need to get off here and take some medicine.

I love this;
and as for the amphetamine, research has found love to affect the same areas of the brain as cocaine, or even ecstacy... and in fact for the first couple years the buzz from your partner is quite literally a high.

Very good poem. Very well written. I loved it. I know this is how I would feel if I had a boyfriend. I would have to say the first stanza is my favorite.
"I would collect the stars and moon for you
The stars reflecting the shine in your eyes
You brighten up my life like a million fireworks
There's not one spark that doesn't burn for you"
Keep on writing and keep up the good work.

wow amazing writing and good luck

The author of this poem has created a very romantic and passionate picture for the reader to become absorbed in, and even the hardest of heart couldn’t help but soften to this piece of work. I read this work several times to figure out why the author has separated the first and last stanza for emphasis but think it was for aesthetic value rather than anything else as each of those stanzas is as strong as any within the poem.
I feel there is an intensity in the words of this poem that not only depict the fullest emotions of love but also a deep mind set that it will stay that way and this is shown in words such as “never ending, never break it, permanent, and engraved.”
I can clearly see why this poem has already attracted the attention of so many readers and also won trophies but I feel all those people have been whisked away, as indeed was I, by the powerful emotions and the intensity of the multitudinous imagery in this poem. It’s instant ‘pulling power’ if you want to call it that. I’m not saying that isn’t a good thing for a poem to do but when viewed objectively a poem should work for many reasons and not just one. I think this poem already succeeds in many areas but the imagery was over done by using so many metaphors, stars, fireworks, amphetamines, kerosene, (vile smell which doesn’t do anything for me) flames, sunsets, roses, sharpie hearts, lava, and midnight sky. How many metaphors does one 8 stanza love poem need? In my opinion just a few but each one could be elaborated on, even one per stanza would feel more acceptable as when I read this poem I felt like I was constantly being rushed on to the next image just for the sake of it, and the deeper meaning was overlooked.
One line I feel isn’t in the right place or could be changed is “I'll sew all of your scars” in stanza 5 as the rest of the stanza is about breathing, inhaling and exhaling. I didn’t see the relevance of that line in context of the others.
I found the concluding stanza, which is often the strongest or cohesive one in a work, to be of equal value as the others and therefore left me with a feeling that there was more to come. I’m not entirely sure whether this is a positive or negative response to be left with but as I said at the start, I can see the attraction and think this poem is one of the better ones I’ve had the pleasure of reading for this contest.
Just as a last thought, an apt title would be a bonus. If the author finds it hard to think of one then maybe some suggestions could be offered by its readers.
Thank you for entering the Raven Contest 2007 and good luck with your entry! Your work may also be viewed by other Raven judges.

i love this. it had a real dirty pretty feel to it. loved these parts.
Your embrace is like amphetamine to my heart;

My heart is drenched in kerosene;
A passionate flame only for you
Like a sunset in the sky;
You color my world with hope

Wow, this was truly and amazing and inspiarationaly write. Terrific use of imagery and metaphors......I could feel you passion in this poem and you kept me entranced to the very end. I was totally enthralled with this. "I would collect the stars and moon for you
The stars reflecting the shine in your eyes" I love this line so much. It was a perfect way to start this poem off. "You are engraved into my heart;
That's where you'll always reside" This was a great ending to an even better poem. Keep this up....This just might have been the best poem I have ever read on here..............

Yearning for his touch
I have felt this love. Even thought they felt it to. I think it's beautiful that you found a reciprocated kind of love. That can last beyond each touch. -
WOW! That is so breathtaking... I feel a sense of almost utter suffication in emotions just reading it. The weight of the world pressing me down into an enclosed space. That was just... WOW.
