I NEVER NEEDED UNTIL I MET YOU
I never needed
the sound of laughter
or the cleansing of sweet tears.
Nor the comfort of a firm gentle hand upon my shoulder.
I never needed
a golden smile to lighten my path.
A smile that is brighter than the brightest of suns.
I never needed
passionate kisses
loving touches
or a breathless voice whispering my name.
I never needed
anyone
not to live with
not to share my belongings with
not even to share my bed.
I never needed
anyone to share my passing years,
to grow old and feeble with.
Someone who would still see me and touch me
as if, it was still the first time.
I never needed
or wanted anything
until I met you
and you gave of yourself to me freely.
Now not only do I need
but I need to hear your laughter
feel your passionate touch
and experience your blinding smile
I need you
with me
walking side by side
breathing the same air as I do
for you are life.
And now that I do need.
I find that I need you most of all.

The power of love is not always felt when you first meet someone it has to grow and mold as the relationship takes shape. Love the drug that is so addicting that once you found that bext dose you will never want to ever stop taking it!!
Great Write!!!

thanks for having the contest and for giving me the HM much appreciated

Ohhh bless us, this put such a smile on my face - you have a wonderful gift for writing, whoever you are! Just before commenting on this poem, I read a heartbreaking twist of abuse, and what it can do to a person's system, and then I read this which is so hopeful, and uplifting -
The whole metaphor of 'needing someone to be there' can become so cliche, yet you managed this with remarkable, and exquisite choicings of words, and phrases - nothing too common or overdone!
Bravo you; I have no complaints about this - it was awesome to read, and you are so lucky to have found 'that' person Thank you for entering

I'm only 18, but I've found this in my own life.
I almost ignored the possibility that someone would enter my life like this but I'm glad I didn't.
I guess that's a message in itself.
So glad you've found this also It's amazing.

finding love is only part of it... taking the love and going with it is harder than finding it I think

thanks for commeing glad that you liked it.

Sorry - once again, you seem to have misunderstood the requirements of my competition - it was for poems about Poetry and/or poets. Maybe the person for whom you wrote the poem IS a poet, but as you do not say so, as judge, I have to consider only the poem as it stands. I wish you luck with this poem, elsewhere - but as far as the "Celebrating poetry and poets" competition is concerned, I do have to say "No".
And PLEASE bear in mind the note I sent you before about removing out of date information from your "Notes" - particularly if said information is likely to damage your chances in the current competition.

And may I give you a piece of advice for the future? Before submitting a poem, make sure that you have erased from your Author's Notes box anything that is specific to a previous competition and which is irrelevant to the new one - or liable to damage your chances in it. And your comment "I just wrote this" is surely out of place in a competition which effectively excludes newly written work.

this is a very lovely poem. how nice when you meet that one that was meant just for you. made my heart smile.

nice addiction, love ... unless it turns into obsession then it ain't so nice. Great write
-
Yes, love can definitely do that to you. Kind of like a drug, now you're hooked.
-
Love this!
Hi Trekkergirl...first thank you for commenting on my poem "Paths" and I wanted to seek out your poetry so I could reciprocate and what a find! You are a great poet and this poem is beautifully written...the emotion really shines through. I like the repetition of lines (I do that alot in my poetry as well); and I am happy you have found love. It is a wonderful thing
-
this deserves the diamond, not the gold. Divine
it brought tears to my eyes, how beautiful and true are the words, you said what I failed to say but felt.
I came to that realization but did not write it but you did, and knowing one's need is great. yes I need him there, I need his touch and love and warmth. it is essential for us once we realize it and this is the so called LOVE. it is so beautiful and mellow
"I never needed
anyone to share my passing years,
to grow old and feeble with.
Someone who would still see me and touch me
as if, it was still the first time." and that would be the same person I fell in love with since my eyes met his, or since I laid my eyes on.
"I need you
with me
walking side by side
breathing the same air as I do
for you are life.
And now that I do need.
I find that I need you most of all."
how wonderful your words are the realization is, once i realized this and i found it, then I need you, all of you, and I love it breathing the same air as I do.
SO So divine

This is such a great poem, there are so many things you think you can live without until you are lucky enough to experience them. Unfortunately I have to remove this poem from the contest, as it has not won a silver trophy.

such a warm and loving poem my friend. It is really touching. good luck in the contest.
-
i loved the lines " I never needed anyone to share my passing years, to grow old and feeble with. Someone who would still see me and touch me as if it was the first time" I think the best loves are those older couples who have spent so many years together and still
look at each other and be so in love.
Love this poem!!

BREATH TAKING
