Every part of your nature is a colour alone
I long for you to brush my lips with every tone
Every one of your feelings has a crystal sound
Your soft voice gently strokes me, till I’m left spellbound
Every part of you is a moving work of art
You cleanse my mind and you paint your soul onto my heart.
I still keep hearing your voice, but not the words you spoke
There was love, joy and laughter every time I awoke
I remember touching, holding, smiling and staring
A sea of feelings, loving, wanting, needing, caring
Remember, places we saw, sounds we heard, together
To forget you is to forget myself, forever.
I don’t care if sometimes what we had was just an act
For that was more real to me than cold, solemn fact
Some ask me, why tread the cliff road and not the middle?
Why tread the hardest path, of half-truths and of riddles?
They can’t see why my heart had only one choice in view
I could only love one road, the one that led to you..
Author notes
NOTE for 'get that trophy you deserved' contest: The poem was orignally witten for a choice of four prompts or more, i chose to use all of them as per comments below, the quotes are as follows:
1. Every artist dips his brush in his own soul and paints his own nature into his pictures.
(Henry Ward Beecher 1813-1887).
2. They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.
(Carl W. Bruechner)
3. I love acting. It's so much more real than life.
(Oscar Wilde 1854-1900)
4. Someone once asked me:
"Why do you always insist on taking the hard road?"
And I replied: "Why do you assume I see two roads?"
Written for the 'use your creativity' contest, there were four quotes to choose from for inspiration, i used the first quote for the first verse, second for the second verse and the last two quotes together in the last verse, as i felt it would be a bit long with four verses.. I tried to link all four ideas with the common theme of loving someone, and in particular, explaining choices we make. Hope you like it

Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! I loved these lines the most, this is exactly how I feel and how I answer people when that ask me why I still feel for him. It's a great write. Only thing is the middle stanza, I don't know but it isn't as great as the first and last. It's still fantastic and I loved it. Thanks for sharing and I bookmarking this.

A beautiful love poem and you managed to put all the four quotes in it. That's what I call creativity. I liked the last verse best, but all three together they make a nice poem. Well done.
Anna.
