The Kiss

The ticking of the second hand
No longer can be heard
Time is almost standing still
Sharpening every word

Every breath inhaled
Brings across a sweetened scent
I sit there with my gaze averted
But we both know that's pretend

My pulse has picked up speed
Heart beating out my chest
My breath has increased quickly
At your beauty, so picturesque

Thankfully I am seated
For I have lost the strength to stand
I watch you walk towards me
And gently graze your nails across my hand

At your whisper of a touch
Every hair stands up on end
My mind now empty, my body numb
Your power over me I can't comprehend

You have caused me to lose control
Of every part of me that I could claim
I struggle to understand
How you're able to keep me detained

I can not move my body
You have frozen me in place
Future thoughts I can't predict
Past memories you managed to erase

Another touch across my flesh
And you send me into a dream
My head is spinning, my vision blurred
How my skin just wants to scream

Your carelessly stand against the wall
A short distance away from me
You keep your eyes locked on mine
And watch me intriguingly

Your hair is gracefully flowing
Across your shoulders and down your back
And your ruby lips curl upwards
Your smile emotions does not lack

Your eyes so deep and hypnotic
They send me into a trance
But when you finally disconnect your gaze
I rush to take my chance

Within moments I am out of my chair
And standing in front of you
So close my breath is on your throat
Now will be our debut

My right hand weaves into your hair
My left pressed against your hips
I look you deep into your eyes
I am less than inches away from your lips

Your ruby lips are slightly parted
As my lips graze against your own
Now it's you whose breaths increased
You let out a subtle moan

I glide my lips towards your neck
With my hands I tighten my grasp
I whisper sweetly into your ear
As I make this memory last

I feel your shiver under my touch
Turns out that talent is mine as well
I feel your heartbeat increase
Feeling are starting to overwhelm

Your grasp surrounds me quickly
I am trapped in your embrace
But I'm not planning on going anywhere
In my arms you are incased

I keep you close and kiss you deeply
And with that simple touch
Our mind and souls join as one
Something we both crave so much

Dark and light intertwined
Night and day but a blur
Within that single, deepened kiss
Our entire worlds have turned

Dark and light together
Woven like DNA
Another kiss from your ruby lips
From my arms don't ever stray

Sweet and Slow

When I see you around
I hope that you know
That you were the first sad song I wrote
Your kiss is woven in my notes
The whisper of your voice becomes my melody
I tried so hard to keep you happy with me
When I think on our shared history
With tears in my eyes
I'll smile so you can see
How little my broken heart has broken me
And while you move on
I'll stop holding on
The fire that burns through my heart was there from the start
Sweet and slow
Now that you're free
I hope you know who you'll be
I'll smile as you go
Because I already know
My love for you will always burn
Sweet and slow

Hearts beat

In the dark

Quiet whispers

Sweet kisses

Flaming touch

Love has made

It's mark.

The Month Of Love Is Almost Here!

Valentine's day is almost here! And what's more romantic than a love poem? And its time to start writing those beautifully cliché love poems. Then, before you read it to your loved one, submit it! All this month we're going to showcase a whole bunch of love poems. <3

Everyday this month until Valentine's day we're going to showcase the best love poems! 14 days of lovey-dovey poetry! ;) I can't wait to see what you guys submit! 

I hope I get this many valentines ;)

Let's get some inspiration going, shall we? ;) Here's a classic piece by Shakespeare. "Sonnet 18", famously known for it's first line:

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st.
     So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
     So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

For hounders of thousands of years, women have always loved being told they were beautiful. And nothing tops eternal beauty. It's so romantic! Let's look at a more recent piece.

This piece is by Carol Ann Duffy. 

"Warming Her Pearls"

Next to my own skin, her pearls. My mistress

bids me wear them, warm them, until evening

when I'll brush her hair. At six, I place them

round her cool, white throat. All day I think of her,











resting in the Yellow Room, contemplating silk

or taffeta, which gown tonight? She fans herself

whilst I work willingly, my slow heat entering

each pearl. Slack on my neck, her rope.











She's beautiful. I dream about her

in my attic bed; picture her dancing

with tall men, puzzled by my faint, persistent scent

beneath her French perfume, her milky stones.











I dust her shoulders with a rabbit's foot,

watch the soft blush seep through her skin

like an indolent sigh. In her looking-glass

my red lips part as though I want to speak.











Full moon. Her carriage brings her home. I see

her every movement in my head.... Undressing,

taking off her jewels, her slim hand reaching

for the case, slipping naked into bed, the way










she always does.... And I lie here awake,

knowing the pearls are cooling even now

in the room where my mistress sleeps. All night

I feel their absence and I burn.















Her poetry gives a fresher,(and dare I say) sexier image to love poetry. Love poems don't have to sound old english and right out of Shakespeare feather pen, your love poems can be whatever you want them to be! 






Hope to see some great poetry in the inbox! :) <3

Love & Loss

There’s a darkness that kisses me

every night and tries to take me

I can’t hold it back For it is air-

I cannot touch it, it isn’t there

For me to touch. Yet I can see

It. It taunts me

Endlessly

And It will never leave,

Haunting me forever

Holding hands with fate together

For eternity.

I live as a broken entity.

No matter the past,

As long as

There Is always a love,

There Is always a loss.

Nothing Compares To Her Hair

A Concrete Poem/ Shape Poem. What do you guys think of shape poems? Should we post more stuff like this? :0

I left With You

Never had I believed I would live that moment with you.

I always thought I would die without it.

I remember your arms beside me, clutching the soft ground.

I saw the indigo sky woven in your dark hair.

Then I saw your canyon deep eyes.

And it was then that I left with you, to some other oasis

And the water was so sweet- like blond taffy.

I remember the ocean water, and your face was the sand.

I recall the blazing sun and the chill water -over and over-

A days worth in moments.

Then I saw your seashell smile

And It was then that I left the body, to be with you in spirit.

Into the sky we went, away from the morning we escaped.

We chased the stars across the earth.

And soon we grew tired of the chase,

and seeked the haven of outer space

You held me amongst the cosmos

Where the clouds were violet and glittering with stars

Then, after souring for years in my mind, and seconds in my heart,

With our eyes full of galaxies,

I shed a tear, and a single star caressed my cheek.

You touched your velvet skin on mine,

and your hands held a mild warmth with tender touch.

And It was then that I left with you, into heaven.
