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

This is very lovely. I love the flow and the rhyme and the beauty you put into it. I am brand new at allpoetry but whenever I read these kind of poems it renews my faith that there are still hearts that exist.
-
Wow!!! This is divinely sweet and romantic. With your language and imagery and emotion I felt as though I love and grace her (which I must say is definately awkward because I am a straight woman but thats how powerful and wonderful this write is). I love too how when speaking of women you entwine their beauty and their personality and soul. Most of the time men just get the beauty part..... Thank you for this, it was truly lovely.

Hello Bob!
You and your collaborators have done a fine free flow poem here. I can only hope to get mine to flow this well. Perhaps all three of you would consider joining my group called Collaborator's Corner. Here's the link to look.

Ocean.

wonderful
What a beatiful poem. Wonderful flow of words. I like the ryhem. excellent poem Bob. It was my pleasure to read. My favorite is, I scan the sky for angel, and your deep blue sea. They was my favorite lines.
-
THIS IS BY FAR My favorite write I have ever read from you! This is gorgeous from beginning to end it is perfect! Perfectly executed!! I love how you make the introduction so intriguing!
THESE ARE MY FAVORITE LINES THOUGH!:
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
-
Nicely written poem. I like how it flows and just the whole image you get when you read it. I can see this poem comes from the depths of your heart and how your heart is reaching for something. Well, thanks for the comment and good job on this poem.
-
WOW
This was so beautiful. And I hadly think you're past you're prime; my aunt's husband is 19 years her junior and I've never seen them argue. This was so. . .beautiful. I wish I had a better word but it's late, my mind is slow, and not that quick to begin this. This, most definately, deserved the gold.
***Rae****
-
Nooooo, I'm not angry, this is beautiful and bittersweet. A longing lonely soul who knows better yet still yearns. The imagery is fabulous.
-
you have a gift that i cant even begin to describe. your amasing and i love this. dont ever stop what your doing because your work is a treasure <3
-
Amazing
that was like magic.. that moves the soul
*hugs* ML
-
Your rhyming here is astounding, i think this is beautiful. A tremendous write, thank you also for the comment on my work as it lead me to reading yours.
Laura
-
Enjoyed Bob, TY 4 the "VD" Comment, LOLOO, Addded U 2 my buddy list, "JDG"
-
Okay, I so pick this one and no I am not just saying that.. This poem is beyond wonderful.. again very much like Neruda which I love.. All I have to say is pretty, pretty, pretty.. Great Job!
-
Oh, my, Bob! This is quite simply and sublimely beautiful. I have no idea who "she" is but every time she reads these gentle, romantic words, she must swoon and nearly faint, so touched at heart she is.
The only miss in rhyme is song/born: how about "Of poets so forlorn." Otherwise, the cadence is gentle, the flow rythmic: a romantic you are. This deserved every trophy it has taken!
By the way, thank you for reading "Massacre Their Own." I wanted to return the favor.
Luv & hugs, BonnieQ
-
This is an amazing poem. I love the emotion in it, and the honesty as well.
"I'll never know her treasures,
The sweetness of her mind
But kiss her every evening,
in prayers that capture time"
Love that part =) -
this side of you...
I love so much
I think this is your strength
you should not block it out
it is your gift
I hope you can charm us with some more -
This gal that owns my soul? I love the poem. This gal must be some gal to own a soul. would love to look into her eyes and see her soul.
-
I can see why this one....
won gold!!! It is absolutely beautiful and enchanting!!! It is like something out of a fairytale and within the realm of reality at the same time...I am surprised you didn't have alot of offers with these words...They usually capture the heart of one searching as you for that perfect mate!!!! Thanks for sharing this one Bob..it was so romantic and just enchanting as I said before!!!~~~Toni~~~
-
Beautiful! Deep! Passionate! I love it!
-
So deserving of trophies won. Saying this is merely beautiful is an underestimate in every means possible.This piece is every females desire, her childhood dream of that man she is destined to be with eternally.
Imagery and such are amazing but there are depth in words beyond comprehension.
much happiness always, becca
-
Beautifully written. So dreamlike and imageful.

-
Thank you for your beautifully etched entry, Josie
-
Wow! This is an absolutely wonderful piece! Thank you for telling me about it! I was beginning to think that only a woman would write like this. I'm most definitely going to have to read more of your work. Such imagery! Such passion! Absolutely beautiful!
-
this is so sweetly written, the flow and rhyme are wonderful. Love this poem. I wouldnt change a thing
-
Refreshing!
This is a Beautiful Piece and I can't begin to tell you how refreshing it is to see a man look at a woman with so much beauty and respect! You indeed write with passion and a steady hand. Excellent Work!
