I scan the sky for angels,
search the deep blue seas
Wanting these emotions
to seek eternity
I whisper in the moon-lite;
...Where can my lover be?
Knowing I'm a dreamer
and she's not hearing me
I taste her lips divine,
clasp her hand in love
And offer up to Heaven,
my heart to her above
I see her brilliant face,
and body so sublime
Then wonder at her marvels,
though I am past her prime
She graces all the pages,
Of poets filled with song.
And smiles that smile of beauty,
Where lovers all are born
I'll never know her treasures,
The sweetness of her mind
But kiss her every evening,
in prayers that capture time
And she is still a mystery,
a women to behold
Beyond the realm of Earthly needs,
This gal that owns my soul

Love, love, loved this, in fact I think I may have found another poet on Ap to add to my favourites list.
At first, I thought it was about angels, and I have a fixation with angels - be it poetry, song, stories, thoughts, research, communication, etc, so I leapt right in.
But though the references to angels stopped there, after that first stanza, this poem because so much more than just about angels, and was a truly beautiful dedication.
Amazing!
-
I love the line, "though I am past her prime". It evokes a timelessness to her, almost spiritual, and plays you as the counterpart to that in your physical realm.
Great poem Bob, as always. -

Aaaawwwwwwwwwww
This is sooooooo beautiful bob. A love for someone who doesn't yet know your true feelings. A giving love without any expectation in return. You really fill this page with love here. Wonderful to see

This is just beautiful
Wow this is such a beautiful poem of love. To just dream the beauty of a loved one that is no longer here with us can be a beautiful thing. Those beautiful memories in your poem are just so soft and the poem flows so smoothly. Excellent Write. Thank you for sharing with me.
Many Blessings
Much Love

what beautiful words, divine.
divine and carried me to cloud nine with wonderful feelings tickling my whims and dreams and appetite to hear the same words from my lover........Alas, I wish he could speak divine words like these and feel wonderful feelings similar to these.
wow

Wow, this is absolutely beautiful! I loved 'I whisper in the moon-lite; Where can my lover be?' It's sound likes it right from the heart, which is where every poem should come from. Great job!
-
This is really passionate and yet sad. Love is meant to be close and forever. yet the love here is forever apart and distant, yet within reach of the mind. Thanks for sharing. UNT

What a beautiful write full of passion filled emotion...lucky gal, does she know?
Here is what I've written so far for our collaboration...what do you think?Once upon a time passion meant
more then just a roll in the hay.
Passion was a slow dance of wanting,
the anticipation of being swept away.Progression meandered as a river does,
softly flowing about the landscape,
with soft whispers from gentle breezes,
building a foundation, giving it shape.Love grew inside, a fresh budding flower,
delicately nurturing, shaping the bloom.
Passion wasn't a slip between the sheets,
it was the sweetest fragrance of perfume.

this is really brilliant...love flows through every word...congrats on the trophy

You should capitalize the first of every line. Make it look more professional. Congratulations on that gold trophy. Great poem. Stunning poem.
-
Simply stunning. All I can do is echo the words of the dozens who've posted before me in saying this is a beautiful piece, and offer my smiley's. (One small thing I did not understand was how you were "past her prime." Wouldn't you be "past your prime?"

Hit the spot
It's what we're all searching for, I've never met a poet who didn't walk down this road... dreamers all; but that's poetry ain't it!
h'pye -
I think you entertain angels unaware in the truest sense of the expression, Bob. This is dreamily poignant and so romantic, a lovely read. How could anyone so perfectly conceived have feet of clay?
Congratulations on the gold!

Love is so beautiful it's hard to get the point of it's grace across in one poem but I think you did it.I don't think I could ever write a love poem that vivid.It's so beautiful.Love is full of grace and grace is full of love.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh okay, sir Fox.
This took over. It is like drape being
blown by a strong wind after a much
stuffy lack of air. Inhaling is all I could do.
Nice rhymes and poetic references.
My fav
She graces all the pages,
Of poets filled with song.
And smiles that smile of beauty,
Where lovers all are born
There are a few places where the alliteration
jumps, but overall it is a shining piece!
A worthy gold win.
*sigggggggggggggh*.
-
Beautiful piece. Congratulations on the Win! Best Part:
I'll never know her treasures,
The sweetness of her mind
But kiss her every evening
In prayers that capture time
This is true devotion. Great Job! -

Hi
And ty so much Cyn. It is never easy for one such as I, The unpretty and none groupie, to win anything here on AP.
-
-
No doubt about it, you certainly deserved the Gold one for this wonderful write. You've outdone yourself on this one. Congratulations.
-
A well earned Gold you have here.Who says that you don't write of love? ( You Do )This is beautiful, Ros
-
well written for the compassion within your soul shines deeply within as the wonder of love and hope steps forth in realms of inspiration and devotion. When the heart takes over all things encompasse and illuminates the validity of the passionate spirit. It takes just a smile to shine joy within the soul and dismiss the disdain of the body. well done my dear thanx for sharing with many loving blessings always xxx

Truly BEAUTIFUL Thanks for sharing your genious.

Ohhhh! This is such a windsong, sad and haunting. Love really does go beyond our earthly vision. Perhaps that's why even the wisest of us succumb to its lessens. That's the second time this morning, my eyes have burned reading one of your poems. ~ Karen
Gold indeed!
-
Yes!!!
... Wonderful!
Congratulations on the 'Gold' Bob!
and well deserved it is too.
I hope everyone will realise that 'collaboration was only help with supplying the background and nothing to do with your write.
I think we should remove ourselves now, just in case some think otherwise, that's as long as your happy with that?
So pleased for you Bob... Indeed you've blown us away!!!

Thanks again & I really have no problem with your names being there for that background adds so much for the reader of the poem -

Thank you for your lovely entry and song choice, good luck in my contest, Josie
-
excellant write bob! Your a true poet.
-
What can I say - You are good! This reminds me of my history studies of unrequieted courtly love.
-
You shock me, Bob. The softer side emerges only once in a blue moon, but this is the second "love-ish" poem I've read of yours in the past couple wks. It's nice to know that you are a romantic at heart.
Take care of you.

Hi Monica
actually I have many poems about love without the sex and it seems not many care for these types of writes. Sex sells on AP lol
-
-
This is one write that I am truly glad I clicked on!! It was almost as if it were being whispered into my ear as I was reading. What a beautiful job you did on this one!!! I have to agree with every other comment on this one!!
Best of luck in this contest!!

Lovely words in rhyme. Softly spoken, a pleasure to read. Juls
-
A perfect write! This is so absolutely gorgeous Bob! Who wouldn't be humbled and overjoyed to have a write like this penned for them.
So wonderful!
-
This is absolutely beautiful Bob. (like the background) Every word is perfect, nothing sounds awkward, and the rhyme is very easy to read and doesn't sound forced at all.
It's really quite stunning, well done.
-
not often i come around these parts... but Sol dragged me here and i'm so glad he did...
it's a lovely lovely piece Bob... i'm not a fan of centred aligned pieces but this one will do
although i would like to see if it adds more depth set to the left, which is poetically better for reading
very nice Bob
G.x
-
Blown away!
Bob, I have to tell you what I think...
This is a most beautiful write, straight from your heart which can and does know and see such beauty...
It doesn't need all this 'orrible pinky chocolate-box' stuff all round it.
This write of yours stands with its own majesty... yes majesty!
Get shot of the pinky/blue roses and then feature it, is what I say. I just know that many will enjoy this. Sol
P.S. I'm an artist by profession, so I guess I am a little sensitive about colour and design, please believe and forgive me, you've wrapped the 'rare' in the 'common', this is my favourite poem of yours so far read.
Tell me to get lost if you like, but otherwise if you decide you want some help with the background- then I reckon I can organise the invocation of an angel from here on AP to help. I'm sure there's many that would even without my interference.

Sol
Actually i am blown away by your wonderful comment & I would be honored if you colored it up my friend. thank you so mucn -

We have a few alternatives between us, so don't hold back to say what you think... What do you think of this one?

Outstanding
Another masterpiece - a romantic poem that is creative and offers something different. The rhyme is well-chosen and very fluid and adds to the over-all flow of the poem.
-
-
I must say
It is a pleasure getting so many nice comments on this poem. am a believer again for i never mentioned anything but love. Ty so much
