I awake in my bed in the quiet of night
Dead in the depths of redoubtable plight
The tears are like torrents, brewed for the blight
Leave me broken and bitter, and ever contrite
My beloved, my sweet, my beau of great bravery
To whom I am chained in the sweetest of slavery
I remember his kiss, my lips still taste in savory
How long has it been since your hands have caressed
The dip in my back and the curve of my breast
Since the heat of your touch held my heart in arrest
Or the tip of your fingers had my garden possessed
In agony waiting, for the sheets to be filled
With the grace of your scent, overflowing and spilled
And my arms to be wrapped round the broad of your build
O that I could fall into sweet somber ideal
I have fashioned and formed that the night looks to steal
Inflamed by a love beyond attempts to conceal
Where my prince does wait, in fulfillment, so real
Author notes
The Lady of the story has been aroused to the thought of her Beloved coming home.

Okay, so this had some really good imagery in it, but my problem with it was that the rhyme scheme kept switching. I think it would be a lot better if you stuck to one. Also I thought some of your rhyme sounded very forced. This was good, but I think you could revise it to be better. Thank you for entering my contest, but I don't think this poem was what I was looking for.
-
Wow, this was the last poem that I needed to read, and must I say it was fantastic.
Though I'm not a fan of rhyming poetry I loved it none the less!
Great job.
Good luck. -

happy now? I read it. It's good, I like that you changed the viewpoint and we now see things from the lady's point of view. As usual, the language is exquisite...I'm kinda jealous that you can write so dang poetically and mine are so simple.
