soulfire (the love that carries me)

 

i.

You're the spoken word to my poetic tone. I am nothing but a weak whisper. When your love captures me, I am megaphones blaring. Trees whisper to the leaves 'They're in love" and the wind plays our theme music, like a madrigal in midday. The deepest depths of me that were nothing but cobwebs and midnight moons, felt your love. You fastened heartstrings together with safety pins and scotch tape, and wiping all my tears away.

[if ever they rain down, you'd wash my pain away]

ii.

I look at other people and feel sorry for them. They are missing out on the sweetness of life and a blessing that healed a curse. I could have waited so much longer, but you came along and changed my course. Why couldn't I have been with you sooner? I am sorry it took so long. My beautiful regis filia, the one I share my joys with and the diary entry of my heart's chambers. [you want to know of my days]

iii.

If today was a storm, you'd be my shelter. When I am a consuming burden, you are my strength to stand. The passion in your voice to assure me it's alright. All the humor I can't seem to find, I know you'll provide. You are oxygen too good to breathe, but I refuse to let this love pass on by.

I can see the future in your eyes and how they connect with me. I have a deep desire to be the love you'll always need and to be the provision every girl desires. I want to be the fairy tale prince you thought didn't exist, but really, was standing right here. I want you to be the reason why I have a love story to write, why it's hard to sleep at night, and with every mistake I make, I think about how I failed you.

Because your love has brought me to a place I've never been before

and to a place I don't ever want to leave.

Author notes

dedicated to the love of my love, Brittany
I love you babe, with all of my heart

regis filia - daughter of the king, which is the closest word in Latin to "princess"

Option 8) Love
Anything about love. The good stuff, bad stuff, anything. I want to hear about it! Erotica is fine but it has to be tasteful.

4) Write me a poem about Extreme or true love or hate. I want to feel the emotion in this. Use of imagery is a huge plus. Tell me about what you experienced.

    Woot woot

    This was differently a true love poem. Who ever Brittany is she is a lucky girl. For a girls point of view you know just what to say to sweep a girl off her feet. From a poets point of view the flow of this piece was wonderful. This was about true love and i enjoyed reading about such an emotion that lead to this poem. However this does have a Honorable winner and i asked for one who had won nothing. I I'm thinking about changing the rules though on a count that I have gotten some great works that have won too. But anyhow this was really great and a blast to read. Thanks for entering.

    Beautifully Done

    Breath taking and inspiring! It is so obviously evident how in love you are. AWESOME! The best line for me: "You fastened heartstrings together with safety pins and scotch tape, and wiping all my tears away."

    BRAVO!

    This was fantastic. Can I just say that the author's notes are probably the most romantic author's notes imaginable? Lovely poem. Just beautiful. I feel like anything I want to say is just inadequate. Basically, a true love story.

    Because your love has brought me to a place I've never been before
    and to a place I don't ever want to leave.

    That's got to be my favorite. Congrats on a great write.

  • Awl, Chris, this is beautiful. I don't know what to say. ^^ Thank you.

    Btw, you might want to fix the last line of the second paragraph.... Unless you did that intentionally.
