Kiss me like calligraphy.
Soft and delicate,
Perfection in long swooping lines.
Write me a word,
Then a sentence,
Then a novel.
Crisp ink forming into the paper
and melting pages into a fantasy.
Write of treacherous pirates
and dueling buccaneers.
Or valliant princes that
slay dragons for love.
Wrap me in your script
and do not let go.

Wow, I think this is a Groovy Write for sure! I love the use of the pen and ink flowing to form your words. Your title grabbed me, making me have to read it. I wanted to experience that feeling of a kiss flowing across my paper. As an artist I was moved to my studio were my pen and inks wait for me. Thank you !

I really like this one, the quite unique metaphors you have come up with to express your thoughts and feelings, along with the images of this fantasyworld
Very well done, keep it up!

this is beautiful. the metaphors, the ideas in it, the feeling it gives off. i just dont even know what to say about it, its beautiful. it flows, and the ideas, writing a novel with his lips.

Wow!
This was just... ... wow. I'm completely at a loss for words. You had me from the very beginning.
"Kiss me like calligraphy
Soft and delicate..."
The metaphor is just beautiful. I haven't seen something this original in a long time. And if you didn't win that contest this was entered in, the host was crazy. This was simply a masterpiece and I really really enjoyed it. Bravo.

amazing write. the flow and metaphor is beautiful. everything you put into this poem helped it along the way. the second stanza was off somehow. i think it is because it switched topics too fast, and takes the focus off of the feeling of the kiss. just my opinion.
it didnt quite ruin the poem for me but it definitely lowered my view. great first stanza though. perfect.
peace out and god bless,

Damn..
This was beautifully done, and the metaphor or similes in this (i'm not sure. A bit too tired) Are beautiful.. Or perhaps I'm looking for.. Gah.. Bringing inanimate objects to life.. Personification? Whatever.
Great job hun. Good luck in the contest
