"Oh hear my humble heart in plea for you."
Alas! The beat: increasing, begging more.
Such want, such need, to please you, and remain.
My eyes, my lips upon your own; Oh hear!
With voice I care, with heart upon my sleeve.

I like this a lot. I am not familiar with the form, but must look into it. This had such a nice easy flow & said so very much without wasted rambling. Excellent!
Your stuff always blows me away!!!!!!

You are too too kind. This was my first attempt and introduction to Blank Verse and I fell in love with the form. I am so pleased you enjoyed this and appreciate your kind comment. Thank you so much.
Summer must be coming to a close in my home state, and fall colors quickly coming into play for their short burst of beauty. I miss the lakes and the largeness of it ...
Hope you are well.
Thank you again. -

Pamela. I cannot comment on the grammar given the rules of this contest (and I wouldn't in any event, because it is just fine). The message is clear and simple. I hope he is listening!

A plea for love is what I read here. An extraordinary poem, easy to read and the concept simple to understand but your wording belies the simplicity nad it's interseting, very interesting. Thanks for your entry. Von
