Remembering what you said the other night-
my heart sinks like a stone.
I never knew you felt that way at all.
I've realised i've not been paying you enough attention-
i've let things slip.
I've been taking you for granted,
i know that now.
I need you to know that you're beautiful to me
in every way imaginable-
i need to start making you feel special again
and to let you know how much i love you.
And that without you-
i'd be a mere shadow of who i am;
you keep my feet on the ground.
I know that you've never seen me cry
and that i struggle with my emotions-
but even on my blackest days,
my love for you always shines bright.
And although the flames won't always dance,
my love for you shall burn forever.
Corrina, you're beautiful
and i love you.
Alex

aww this is very romantic. i am glad you two can be there for each other and cheer each other up through bad things. great write. i hope you enjoy your love for the rest of your life. thanks for entering and good luck in my contest.

I'm glad you could express that love that you hold for her deep down. Sometimes when we are in a situation that we are used to, we forget to show what made it that way in the first place. Like when you are married you forget to impress your lover and show them that you care... Sometimes just need a little boost in the right direction.
-
bet this cheered up, you're a very sweet man. she is lucky. have a great day n' luck in the contest
xoxo,

Awww. It's so sweet and beautiful. "I need you to know that you're beautiful to me in every way imaginable-" That is so cute. This is a very precious poem and the fact that it was given to your wife makes it all the better. Hehe, she must have been awed by it. Thank you for entering and good luck.

Such a beautiful write of love. I so enjoyed reading your poem. So full of emotions and love. Good luck in my contest
-
uh ..... wow
this poem reminds me of someone i no wow its truley amazing! my favorite lines were :
I've realised i've not been paying you enough attention-
i've let things slip.
I've been taking you for granted,
i know that now.
I need you to know that you're beautiful to me
in every way imaginable-
i need to start making you feel special again
and to let you know how much i love you.
And that without you-
i'd be a mere shadow of who i am;
i no thats alot but this whole poem is amazing !
GOOD LUCK!!! -
its touching and really personal that this actually happened. you should perhaps pay your wife more attention if shes the one that keeps you on the ground?
-
aww that is a very cute and well written poem. usually it is poems saying how much they like someone but the other not caring, but you made it different by apologizing, it was fantastic and very touching, i bet your wife was very happy with it. great job and goodluck in my contest
-
Awww wow this was a really sweet poem. Sometimes you dont realise what you're doing until someone says something. I could relate to this.
Thanks for entering.

Dear floorboards,
Yep!
Women do take major maintenance!
Glad to have your poem declaring you love - very beautiful!
Thanks for entering and Good Luck in the contest!

being that most things I write are free-form, of course I enjoyed this. But it is more than just that....I think you did that form justice. It is as if the thoughts were just flowing out of you and wrote them down. And that is what to me makes a perfect free verse
I love reading good rhyme....however I personally am no good at it......I do believe it takes special talent to make rhyme seem unforced and very few can master that.....I wish you the very best in this contest and you should be proud of this one,
respect

This Alex, is the kind of poem, that reminds me why you are on my favorites. I still love it. Jan

thank you for your wonderful comments forever-silenced, much appreciated,

It's good to hear that you have challenged yourself to write a poem in a different style... I must say you managed it better then i did when I first tried free verse. Anyways this poem is very heartfelt... honest and sincere it does not pick out the faults in the other person but in you... my favourite lines in this poem are
"I need you to know that you're beautiful to me
in every way imaginable,
i need to start making you feel special again
and to let you know how much i love you."
These lines could be all talk and you might not do what you said you need to do BUT i think you will there is a type of urgency in this poem which i like the type which says i am going to do this which is awesome! i think you handled free verse extremely well! thank you for entering my contest and good luck much love
~Forever Silenced~
P.S. I hope it all goes well and that you DO do what you said you would good luck
-
thank you very much for your honest comments, i appreciate it and i've sorted the punctuation[i think],
thanks again,

When I first started to read this poem I got irritated will the lack of capitalisation especially in the “I” but when I reached the lines:
“i'd be a mere shadow of who i am,”
This idea started to make sense as the use of small i's make the idea if I seem dazed, unimportant and over used. This line made it the image seem much stronger. Was this done deliberately? If not you need to think about how little things really effect how the poem reads and relates to your readers. I like how the poem reads like a letter to the reader rather than the narrator telling the audience about his/her love thus making the poem some what more personal to the reader. Although I think that you need to focus on rhythm much more strongly, something I have never been good at creating, but the use of rhythm and image make poems much more drastic and effective for readers. Well done for this lovely entry.

thankyou very much choirangel,
much appreciated,
floorboards. -
mixed emotions and what you feel like you need to do.. I advise you to follow your heart and this girl that you speak of ... you could tell her how you feel and do what you can to make her feel better, just dont change you, bigg mistake there...thanks for sharing, keep up the awesome poetry here.
-
thank you ever so much my friend,
very much appreciated,
alex

This is a new style for you. Everything that you write comes straight from your heart and brilliant mind so it is always endearing. I love the sentiments that you express and the manner that you displayed them. Very nicely done indeed!

WHOA!!! What an excellent piece you've written, my god, no wonder she cried! It's wonderful, ahh Alex, if only there were more like you around. A fab fab piece honey! Great stuff. Jan
-
hey cheers shug for your wonderful comments,i definitely found this quite cathartic,i feel so much better for "saying it", she [my wife]started crying of course,women eh?
thanks again pal,
alex. -
Alex this is a cracking piece the words used are inspiring.My thoughts on this are that women can crumble any man with words alone.I wrote a piece not as good but simillar it's called Where am I going wrong? and it says much the same I was feeling a bit insecure at the time and even silly things like advertisements on T.V had me thinking.I don't know but I found even though I never posted the piece writing it made things a little better,I just tried to up things a gear and that worked for me,I think women need to be told and shown how worth it they are but if the girls really that special she should know it.I hope things work out for you or whoever the poem's about.Thanks Shug
-
thanks puppydog,feel free to send me one of yours,
alex. -
EMOTIONAL AND BEAUTIFUL

and your continued support,
alex. -
Lovely piece of writing my friend and sad.Sometimes we do just take people for granted and although we love them so much,perhaps forget to tell them or let them know just how much we appreciate them.I,m sure this lovely poem will help show just how much you love and appreciate Corrina.Kenny

Oh Alex this is just soooo beautiful. If this doesnt melt her heart then nothing will. It came straight from the heart.
