infinite love.
i want your love like a young boy wants a star.
a briliant beautiful star to keep close to his heart.
so that its beauty will forever be his.
i want your love.
i want your love so it will forever be my own.
so that i can speak to others with a confidence about myself and say.
"thats the one. the love of my life."
i want you by my side like a thorn to a rose.
the thorn is always there for the rose.
no matter what circumstance arises.
the rose keeps its beauty out in the open.
flaunts it for all to see.
yet when one tries to steal this beauty,
the thorn is right there to keep it safe and its own.
i want to be your thorn.
i want you to love me darling.
i want your love to be so strong and obvious,
that i know its there more than i know theres a sun
i love you.
with all my heart.
and someday.
i hope for you also to love me.
but until then.
i wait. and i pray.
and i am filled with compassion and anticipation for your lips to utter the words.
"i love you."

This is a well written love poem. I really like it and connect well with the written. The analogy of the rose and thorns is beautiful. Good luck in my contest. You are truly a gifted poet

This is really good but it is a love poem for someone ur crushing on. Not what I'm looking for in my contest.
Don't be discoruaged tho b/c this is really the great love poem.
Good luck in the other contests tho

While being a tender poem this one comes off as being kinda cliche. While I know its not intentional there just really isnt any one part about this poem that really stands out as being what I was looking for. You were vague about who you are writing this for so and that also was something I was looking for. Dont get me wrong though. This is a very well written and tender poem.
