Prelude of a Rose

Let us fall into a bed of roses
Where we can feel the softness of the petals brush against the feelings of excitement
Let us run away from the realities
Where walls that we create are destroyed by the drumming of our beating hearts
Let us escape into a place where only the two of us exist
Where love overcomes all obstacles

Let us be alone together
Gone from the worlds constant force that pushes our lives into an abyss of sadness
Let us fly away at the break of dawn
Migrating towards a warmer world where the coldness doesn’t capture our emotions
Let us cry in tune with a song
A song that takes us on a journey far from the place where we are all but actors

Let us lay together
Skin to skin; the warmth running down our spins making us feel like forever is never temporary
Let us live for the moment
Even if we know that tough times lay ahead of us
Let us express our real emotions without caring what others think
With real tears, smiles, laughs, and cries

Let us break the metal bars that keep us locked inside
Walk away from the critical people with our heads held up high
Let us dance in the light of the moon
Reach out and touch the miracles that we can create
Let us look into each others eyes
And realize what we have and what we can have if only we can let ourselves be who we are

Let us go back to that place
Where we steal a kiss under a rainbow of dreams
Where our solitude meets a lover’s wish
Where our nightmares vanish into the crisp night air
Where the beauty of our souls entwine upon our hearts

Let us go to the place we have already created
And let it grow even more into a never-ending field of roses
Where we lay together
Petals falling down like pearls of rain upon our skin
Letting love overcome all other obstacles

    I can feel the love throughout the poem, but there are a couple misspellings: line 8 worlds should be world's, and line 14 spins should be spines. I also think that several of your lines are too long. But these things can be easily fixed. I think this is a very sweet love poem. Thank you for entering my contest.

    Awesome!

    My favorite line is probably "Petals falling down like pearls of rain upon our skin." On your main page you said you weren't a great writer. Well, I beg to differ! This is a great poem and it really spoke to me. If it is your first love poem, then you really have potential to write even more great ones like this! Kudos!
