Still...

On chilled night we stood there
Blanketed in moonlit shadows
Our only companions tall spruce trees
Watching us from above
As our arms envelope each other
I taste the irresistible sweetness of your lips
It was wrong, but felt so right…
That moment plays repetitively in my mind
My skin still craves your tender touch,
My eyes still crave your unmatched beauty,
My ears still long for your sweet voice,
My heart still longs to be close to yours,
Its still wrong, but... it still feels right

    VVery nice poem

    Very nice and spoken from the heart. I read both verisons that you wrote and like this one the best. At first I was wondering what was wrong and see tat someone questioned that on the other verison, and you are right gender doesn't matter. It is about loving someone and love knows no bounds. Since in your profile you list Lyndsay as your big sister, I am guessing that she is someone you feel as close to as you would your sister, and that is what makes it wrong. Anyway that doesnt matter either, great poem!

    A beautiful write, full of the tenderness you spoke of. I liked reading it, and it captured my interest, and i think the last five lines are the best ones. Thanks for sharing, and take care XxX

    Thank you for your contest submission, I do need to ask you review the rules and edit your submission appropriately. Please IM me and let me know this has been done, thank you.
    A imple write, although it felt almost like two blended into one, as the form almost changed midstream. I definitely prefer the first part to the second.

    The first half of this needs a little bit more punctation, the second half is done quite well but the first made me breathless.
    I liked the imagery you used in the first half, but I feel the second part needs a bit of work. You talk about replaying that moment in your mind, so replay it in the poem...

    'My eyes still crave your unmatched beauty,
    Luminescent that night in the milky blue light'...

    Something like that, though my own writing style doesn't match your own.

    I liked how you made the love out to be forbidden after musing how right it was, it took the poem away from the steretypical and into the original.

    Good job, thank you for entering.

    This is beautiful, I like the way this one flows, tis a sentimental piece gives me the feeling of a love you can't have but shouldn't or oneyou just can't have but you continue to love anyway... well penned

    your idea is nice, but i would like to see some more unique imagery. i think that could buff (or beef) up this piece. it has potential, but needs a bit more of the "it" factor. i suggest just working on taking your ideas and expressing them in a manner that is fresh and new. thanks for the entry, j

    Awww!
    This is so sweet!
    And I can relate so well.
    But probably in a totally different way.

    I was with a guy, who lived in a different town than myself. I have a really close guy friend who I was crushing for like ever, and going down the halls, he put his arm around me. And it felt so good, but it was so wrong, for I had a boyfriend.

    Needless to say, I followed my heart. Went with the one from my own school.

    But anyways, this was very nice. Cute, too. =)

    Beautiful write!

    I loved the emotion in this no matter if it is wrong or right. You have spoken from the heart and to me that is all that matters.

    very good

    its still wrong, it still feels right. A few commas would of helped this write. I'm a little old fashoned and beleve that punctuation is important, especaily in poetry. Good work

    Great description of love that should not have been and the temptations that laid before you. Aurielle is right there are many lines that are unique and you tell it from the heart
    Keep penning

    maybe apostrohpe in the word itsand a comma somewhere still in the last line. That's the only suggetion.


    This poem honestly is really really good. I think what makes poets here stick out is there gold membership having tht capability to give their font an extra a with the background. I think your writing skills is remarkable. I see so many unique lines here.
    I just love the way you write so sensere as ith poetic feellings.

    I do see you being someone noticed here on AP maybe some floara background would make this poem shine its light
