as it wanders into the twin passages above these lips I will use
to place a gentle kiss upon the outer folds of your gowned beauty
Your aura radiates into my heart and ignites these fierce firey desires
that rise to consume every void in my perceptions of awe and beauty
as you materialize as the earthen image of the goddess of the sun,
empress of my, and of all, life
Like the rushings of millioned sperm toward a single goal
a photon bounced back from you breaks from its pack
and crashes into my retina and explodes
as a trillion more will to evolve into that glow
that glues my focus and absorbs my attention
and sucks my devotion as water does thirst
And blinded, everything within me melts
simply because, there you are, my rose

Of course I liked the rose metaphor and images here, and the picture (you knew I would like that, don't you?)
Some nice rich phrasing, images and vocabulary applied here with a subtle sensual undertone. I think you were a bit heavy on the adjectives and perhaps this poem would be poetically stronger if you delete a few adjectives here and there. Also, I see the poem is/was entered in 4 different contests and the rules for this contest state only 2 contests.. I did enjoy reading this though. Thank you for this entry!

Beautifully penned and definately sensual, I love roses so that made it even better. Thanks for the entry.
-
wow, amazing.
-
oh this is wow!
So much is just packed into it... it's stuffed to the brim with imagery and description. Magnificent! -
what a captivating last line - works well with theme and really just ends the mood nicely.
Thanks for entering,

aahh, this reads like what would happen if a biology textbook and some form of Hindu love poetry made a baby. I liked the emotion and it has a really lyrical quality, but as an art major, I can't say as I find photons inherently romantic... Still, I give you props for originality. This piece has definitely intrigued me and I will visit it again. Perhaps after more sleep and less art history..
A couple of your sentences are a little too wordy--it may not even be the words, it could just be a need for commas. Also, you have a typo--"my" I think should be "me." That is all. Excellent work, and good luck in my contest!
--Shannon -
The content is wonderful your details make this write come alive to the reader. Very well done. These lines I love.
Your aura radiates into my heart and ignites these fierce fiery desires that rise to consume every void in my perceptions of awe and beauty as you materialize as the earthen image of the goddess of the sun, empress of my and of all life
I agree with you the rose is an immortal symbol. Very well done. Thank you for entering my contest. Have a great day. -
This is great!
I did find the lines a little long and thought that some much needed punctuation was in order, besides that.
It's a great write
Very attentive to details and to the entire feeling that comes from the poem.
Love
thank you for entering!

makes me drip, the most wonderful rose poem I've ever read although I think it is not too much about a rose as it is about his lover that he adores and cherishes -
NoIQ (proving lawyers lie)
thank you for your comments on my poem YOU AGAIN - I think, since you are from California, where I once lived in Sacramento, you might also enjoy (and understand) my poem CALIFORNIA - http://allpoetry.com/poem/3211932 - a very brief tribute to its mineral, natural and unmatched agricultural treasures of your awesome state -
The style here reminds me of prose poetry, in which the imagery is contained within a stylistically flowing sort of sentence. It's hard to explain, but I hope you are familiar enough with the form to understand why that is a compliment, and where the comparison is coming from. You use a lot of subtle but important sexual references, like "pheromoned", "twin passages above these lips", "folds of your gowned beauty," and "rushings of millioned sperms toward a single goal." It works well with where the glow of the piece finds its source of inspiration. In the end, this is a glow any adult can understand, and appreciate why it ends with thirst being quenched.

I'm so glad someone used the picture of the rose and used it as metaphor too. This is a lovely poem, filled with tenderness and sensuality - very enjoyable indeed. So good when someone glows because of love and this poem speaks of that effect in all the scents of a rose. Lovely poetry - thank you so much for posting it in my contest.
