I want to live in this moment forever,
to drown in the sorrow
of your sky blue eyes,
and in our minds we can fantasize about the life
we can never have together
and I can dream,oh I can dream...
You see darling I am promised to another,
to a man whom I have not yet met
nor love...
Not like I love you
with every bit of passion...
Love as red as the most beautiful rose
just coming to bloom,
but as I grasp the stem
the thorns prick my finger and I am brought
back to the realization...
Although you are a poor man
I have never felt so rich in my heart before...
Your lips upon mine
tasting of the finest chocolate
the smooth texture
of this feather kiss
makes me swoon...
Cradled in your arms
you lean in to kiss my forehead
and I pull myself closer into your body
tangling myself more in the pure linen sheets...
Your hands are like sandpaper on my skin
yet it is the most gentle touch I have ever known...
All is quiet in these stolen moments...
Oh what would my mother say if she knew I were here
in this paradise with you?
She would scorn me
and call me dreadful names...
Part of me wishes she would just find out
maybe then I could be free,
it is a most wonderful thought
but the truth is she would undoubtably
disapprove of you and I...
I know this in my heart,
and it makes me ache inside
with more pain than I ever thought possible...
I cry into your chest
with ecstacy biting my lips to keep from crying out more
and I look up into your handsome face
sweat glistening on your brow,
and you smile at me
with your radiant pearl teeth
and I laugh,laugh harder than I ever thought I could...
My heart wants to explode with this brief moment
of happiness we have come to share...
I touch your face lovingly
and pull you to me to mingle
with my lips once again...
I wish this forbidden moment could last forever,
I wish morning would never again come so I could stay here
with you my love,but alas it cannot be
we both know this...
Tomorrow will be my wedding day
and this chapter of my life will come to a close...
Laying here with you will be my last
contented moment...
I will never again feel this sheer desire
and overflowing emotion,
never will I be myself with another,
never will I ever express my love to another man...
You say I will please him
and I cry...
I do not want to please him ever
I want to remain faithfully yours-
your fragile flower...
My heart shall only beat with life
and love when in your presence...
I have never known a man before you,
nor will I allow myself to know another
not like this...
I turn to you and find you asleep upon the pillow
and I whisper gently in your ear
my solemn vow,
I shall never love another,
this moment shall always be ours
forever in a dream....

I do not write stuff so deep and intense for the most part,and rarely do I ever write about love...I do not know it well,I can say I have ever only felt the pure feeling in my life once and only once and have never found it again...I guess this piece is in part my longing to find it once again...To be at peace in the arms of trust and to let myself go in the moment...but maybe it only was supposed to come once for me,and maybe all along it was just a dream....

Very intense and just full of raw emotion
This reads like you just opened up your heart and let all the emotion flow...
Thank you for sharing and for being part of this contest...the best of luck to you! -
I love the imagery and feeling all throughout this piece, of being promised to another that your heart does not love, of the secret romance lying beneath. wow. beautiful.

thank you for entering the contest. If my comment is sparse, it's just that I have 165 entries and it's hard to make a decent comment to everyone.

This is stunning. A treatise on quality that definitely warrants the epic length. Just... awesome. Every description just adds to the poem, and even though roses are commonplace images, you manage to take it back and make it your own.
Makes me want to write my own, frankly. ^^

This is a great poem!!!! But, let me just say that if you do find your soul-mate, let nop obstacle stand in the way of your love!!!! Thank you for entering and good luck!!!!

Oh I thought this was absolutely beautiful! I loved it.
-
Wow...that was really worth my time. I thank you for writting that beautiful poem. I know that I have felt that way before about someone before. Love hurts like nothing else; yet it's so beautiful and completely worth it. It was a somber poem, however I loved it for the means that I felt like it was me writting it. Meaning that i've felt what you wrote.
