I come to you
as a humble poet
laying my love
at the alter of your heart
a common man
searching for greatness
dreaming my dreams
struggling and striving, through life
searching in the distance
for my love to take my hand
wishing to be your hero
hoping you love me... as I am
your impassioned lover
caring for you beyond my words
laying my love
at the alter, of your heart
as a humble poet
I come to you
for your hand

"wishing to be your hero"
Now that is beautiful >;3
A very sweet piece, Sir.
I really like the way that you've separated the text in some of the lines ~
"laying my love
at the alter, of your heart"
It makes it flow in a way I can't quite explain.
A lovely piece full of lovely ideas about...love (quite fittingly xDD). Usually I find these types of pieces too sugar-coated to pay too much attention to, but I actually really like the modesty and simplicity in this one.
Wonderful write, claps for you.

ah..did you hear it.... a huge group sigh....
lovely, absolutely lovely!
way to write...way to unleash a beautiful heart!

Always a pleasure reading.

I like how you wrote in the view as a poet. (Well, you are a poet, but just saying I like the pronouncing of that title.) This is very loving, and the way you wrote it is catching.
Thanks for entering your write in "Enter All Your Love Writes Here!", and good luck!

hoping you love me... as I am
Is this not how we all feel? Your words are beautiful as always. I used to wish my husband would love me for who I was but have since grown. For if he would have loved me for the person I was, he may not have loved the person God is helping me become. Best wishes and God Bless...Trina> -

Thank you Trina

I love it it broke my heart. The words poured out like honey. They were sweet,tender refreshing to me as the reader. You can make a cardboard box sound like love. You have such a knack for this beautiful heart melting words that go straight to the heart. I love it. It touched my heart. It was something that was needed today.
Take care this is lovely. -
Lightning bolts of power in
these spoken words, very fearless too. So admire you!
The heartbeat of this world will never grow cold thanks
to you!

Awesome on this write, so Tender words that would make a beautiful marriage proposal..As this words put me in that thought to have the love of your life say these words. Humble indeed, for I am just a man. What I have to give is the touch of the hand. Puts me in mind of the promise made that I cannot promise you the world but promise you all that I am. Loved it!! Best wishes in the contest.

good write
It is nicely written, but borders on the humorous, as lovers' talks often do. I'm always wary of those who tell you of their humility. You missspelled "altar" 2 X.
-
Sweet!
I haven't seen this sort of approach before- I like it.
Keep up the goods!
God Bless,
Little One

Good write.
Nice.
-
Tender!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is such a tender piece you have written here. I loved the smoothness it has, it's like your words just seem to float through the air. But the tenderness you send out in this to the one you love is beyond measure here,try as you might but this sends the message {to me at least} that words cannot express the love and tenderness you want to share with this person. Thanks for sharing another reaching write!!!~~Toni~~

The poet voices the timbre within the nuances of each and every poet that is not egostistical,tip alter/altar,the typo makes for an intrinsic difference within the meaning.

And you shall
brighten the night
And linger in the wind
As a tune of love and light
Written by the Master pen
And they will sing you to the trees
In notes of purest gold
Until the song becomes a gentle breeze
Playing though each heart and soul
Playing through each listening mind
That have a mind to listen...
As pure and sweet as ageing wine
Listen-listen-listen-
Yet as brunt offerings upon the altar
Of your poetic heart
they will soon be comsumed by
the flames of love and art.
smile,
Judy
