All I know is you...
Breathing you in as my emptiness subsides,
clarity is restored and I become whole again.
Do you even remember if life
existed before we had our touch?
For years I was so lost and lonely,
going nowhere that happiness played.
Hope was not a realistic expectation for me.
Innocence was murdered
just as I was learning life,
keeping me lost in shadows.
Loving was not an option,
mirrors had long ago revealed my fraud,
no one could ever know how unworthy I was
Only until that beautiful, wonderful day
perfection in the form of you was delivered.
Quarreling with my brain, my heart allowed you in.
Restoration began on this barren life,
slowly I began to see my self worth.
Taking everything you had to offer,
ultimately I saw that I did deserve joy.
Vesting my soul in your love frees me.
Wondrous things are abound.
Xerox this feeling so it can never be lost.
You have given me the things I was too scared to dream,
zeroing in on my heart, and hitting your mark.

thank you for the love you have expressed in this wondeful poem and thank you for sharing it in my contest, i like the background and how it all fits together smoothly, i like the flow you have used and the "xerox this feeling" it is creative most people use x-ray and it seems to be cliche."loveing was Not an option" that line is wonderful too, keep up the great writing, ~Amy

Nice, i loved how you wrote this poem. It was pretty neat reading this. I loved how you used every letter perfectly. Never fails
-
good
Very well done. You were especially creative with your use of every letter while maintaining a cohesive story. -
WOW..this is one of the BEST poems ive read on here..i think it might just be the best cuz I WANNA FEEL LIKE THAT! thats a really great idea to have the alphabet starting each line. good luck in the contest <3
-
hey, great idea with the a-z thing! it definatley makes your poem stand out from all the other love poems. i think love is what so many people write about and don't truly understand. It is such a widespread emotion and there are so many things written about it. I'm glad you could put it into new light! wonderful job!
-
original concept that could have been executed really poorly, but you strayed from that and created something beautiful. god bless the random poet's poem link. thank you.
-
this was the best! I wish I could find something even close to this. Love..... you desribed it well.

Wow, you certainly put into this acrostic
Very emotional I must say, and that makes it a powerful poem. Nice write!

If your title didn't give it away, I probably wouldn't have even noticed the ABC acrostic...that was how wonderful this piece flowed together
Ahhhhh so sweet and refreshing. And kudos to you for finding a x,y,and z word!
and good luck

umm.......wow..
there is nothing to say becasue i am speech less i've felt just like that thank you greatly for putting it up carry on writing . -
Wow... great job, well done! This was great, imaginative and the flow was seamless. Everything fit perfectly, i would have had a lot of trouble trying to piece together something that made sense... AND using all the letters... You did a great job - Best of luck in the contest! ^_^
..Moo.. -
omg, I never thought it was possible to use every letter in the alphabet in a poem. this is wonderful! it's very touching and amazing at the same time!
-
Great!
WOW! WHAT A GREAT POEM!
i think acrostics are fun and can show a lot of emotion. I think it's great that you used love as the topic.
The title is great 'Love from A to Z'
that one caught my eye!
overall I think it's a very well written poem
the style flow and structure of the piece is great overall
keep it up
keep writing

It's gotta be hard to get a running theme with the whole alphabet and you did a great job with that. I don't think I could think up things for some of those letters. I like this
