As my kisses fell softly
from the sky
filling streams, rolling rivers.
We swam in loves' lake
my liquid arms caressing you.
Cool teal waters flowing
over intimate parts.
Drowning out ebony sorrows
of your broken hearts.
Passion dancing upon life’s ocean
our bodies ebbing like
divagated waves.
My love for you is saved.
Raining whispered promises
divine words riding the gale.
Our love locked within
the tempest.
Until infinity is revealed.
I love you

Fantastic Novy
True love is infinite, it never dies, just as the waves on the ocean roll forever, and so do the clouds in the sky. Your imagery is so wonderful, it captures me and keeps me, I can't get away.
I will love you infinitly,

Love's lake needs the apostrophe.
You have created a beautiful image. There is a caress hidden in each sentence. You raise questions in my mind that I think you assume I have answers for. Why does he have a broken heart and why should I care? why, if you love me, must your love be saved? I raise these because while your language and imagery asked me to sink into the poem and the way you had it phrased led me into the poem, these fragments pulled me back and I resented them 
For me, some of the hardest things are maintaining focus (I never met a tangent I didn't find enchanting); not giving the reader more info than needed ( but that is not the whole story); trusting the reader to see as close to the truth as possible (I am always having to see when I am over telling as a form of control). There are more. I have many bad habits
But I thought you would like to see some of the things I watch out for when writing. You know I would say nothing if I did not care about you being excellent or if I thought you could do no better.
Love, Tom B.

It was written with two concepts in mind, one was to capture reader & pull them in. The other was to show the sadness & rasie questions in the minds of poets. Thank you for expressing your views and finds so vividly. This was a lesson for me as well........Novy

But a small gift from me for all the joy you have brought to my life. May my little insights be seeded to fruited trees.
