I come to you in the evenings
of my heart and soul
when I feel oh so
lonely and yearn for your
delicate, fulfilling touch
I catch tantalizing glimpses of your form
as you playfully run from me, eliciting grace
i am excited by the chase--
finding the right word or beat
to do you justice
is not all that easy a feat
I ache for you when you depart
my muse, my confidant
i feel so empty without your
resplendent presence
And, oh how this poem
cannot come close to your wonder
an aesthetically pleasing rhyme
to the ear and eye, alike,
can throw one asunder
leaving them to strive for the surface
for the depths are far too glorious
for one to grasp
and make last
My muse, my confidant...
Where have you gone?
Mistress of words...
poetry...art
I desire to be thrown asunder
or upon the bed of life beside you
to write of our toils together
between the sheets of inspiration
I lust after your blissful touch
stroking my mind, laying it to ease
as i release a build up of abstract
emotion via poetic masterpiece...

Stupendous!
It's emily, and i am writing from your username
i like this poem but at times i feel that you become too vague."leaving them to strive for the surface/ for the depths are far too glorious" this has a lot of depth but i am afraid some people will just read over it. It seems as though you have created a thick metaphor and most will not notice the greatness of it.
