Silent Shadow

Blood red rose petals
are on your lips,
and summers dew
is in your kiss,

Feather soft
the touch
of your fingers,
and in autumn leaves
your face lingers

My day you light
brushing the clouds away,
and when
the stars glimmer
at the end of the day

When your thoughts
steal softly
through the night,
to come and hold me
so close, so tight,

I can feel
your silent shadow
guiding me
towards tomorrow

    I like the overall theme of this but it would benefit greatly by more attention to the capitalization. Also if it was separated a bit into distinct thoughts, verses it would flow better.
    Thank you for entering.

    Congrats on the Bronze!
    This is beautiful. I love the wording and images that you have depicted.
    'when your thoughts
    steal softly
    through the night
    to come and hold me
    so close so tight
    I can feel your
    silent shadow
    guiding me
    towards tomorrow.'
    That is my favorite part.

    I have had the same problems before! I tend to have to go back into edit and restructure it, sometimes putting two spaces between each line to get it to lay correctly, have no idea why that happens!

    This was a beautiful penning regardless of structure! I see why you pulled a shiney! Excellent work, keep it up, this was certainly my pleasure to read ~Tia

    I love this poem it is short and wonderful
    keep it up
    I think its good with the punctuation it has now besides who made up rules for poetry anyway.
    I love the "so close so tight" line because it seems no matter how close im being hugged it does never feel close enough.
