Because of the love you give
My world has changed,
From loneliness and despair
To warmth and comfort.
Once I was lost
Always wanted and needing,
You give me more than
My wants and needs.
You fulfill my dreams
Of hope and happiness,
My eyes have been opened
To a whole new world.
Because of the love you give,
My heart skips a beat
When you enter the room
I tingle when you kiss me.
I was in the darkness,
Sitting in anger and fear
Hating all things that
Came close to me.
In coming to know you
You have become a part of me.
Forever changing me
Because of the love you give.
You have become more of a feeling
Than just a face, my heart has
A brand new home, this is where
I shall live until my last breath.
Because of the love you give

BANDITS UNITED: Hope you enjoyed your day in the spotlight. Have not been on for a while so am getting caught up with all these and the hoodwinks. Enjoyed your poem - good flow and easy to read and understand. Love can certainly make one feel so much better about themselves. They have someone to share things with, and are not so alone anymore. Sentiments well expressed in these lines.

As one who has found the love of my life I can relate completely to this beautiful love poem. At times it seemed as if I would never find that special someone, but I was fortunate and he came into my life. While I connected with the entire poem I especially loved,
"You fulfill my dreams
Of hope and happiness,
My eyes have been opened
To a whole new world."
I also see the world in a whole new way and feel the emotion you portray in this verse. Peace, Liz

Bandits United!
Sure sounds like words of love to me! 
I can remember feeling like this. Unfortunately, when I did, it was romantic love & not the real thing. I didn't love myself enough to be able to give of myself to love another in return. I often wonder if at this stage of the game if I'll get that chance again. 
One never knows...
This part really strikes me:
In coming to know you
You have become a part of me.
Forever changing me
Because of the love you give. [and here I'd add {if I were writing this}]
enabling me to give my love to you! 
Bravo.

so sweet, sincere and tender in every sense of the word. it's like a senuous whisper the way the tone is so delicate. As tender as it may be, the message is powerful and only the emotions top that. a truly great job. my best to you in the contest.

Great job. I loved this. It has a nice flow to it,,an easy read, good rythem. I enjoyed the free verse that you offer. This is not easy, but you nailed it. write in free verse, as well, yet once in a while I throw up a rhyming
technique. Your wording text is very effective, and your message is clear and magical. Good for you. You pulled me , once again, into your story,and refused to let me go until I read it 3 times,. This is what you need to do in poetre. You only have a short time to capture the resders attention, or you risk losing them. You seem to understand this. I bow down to you. Kudos to you. I enjoy your style. Keep it up.Thank you for writing this poem. I appreciate ir. Have a good evening.
Best Regards,
John

aaawww
this is so sweet!! very loving words and thoughts..i'm happy for you my friend sometimes it takes awhile but happiness really can be 'right around the corner' excellent write..
-
it's a warm write, which i have to say is a welcome change to the usual works found on this site, and i like it, aside from the fact that it's something i'm not used to reading, it's very well thought out and flows nicely, almost as if i was reading the first line and the last line at the same time.
very good, even though i'm not a world class judge i believe that it is a good piece.
