Hit or miss...

I long for your affection,
The heat of your touch.
The warmth of your breath on my neck,
Together we lay.
Entwined our hearts have been,
Enchanted by your soft skin.
Waiting patiently for your kiss,
Tender and full.
Your lips to mine,
I gaze on your eye's.
Entranced with the blue of the ocean,
Patiently waiting to embrace you again.
But you reject me,
for all of my sins.
I long for your beauty,
to be mine again.

See, this is why I do not write poetry Tongue.

I found this more interesting on the eye than your song.

In saying that I will be honest, and state that nearly every line is a cliché- every line has probably at one point appeared in the notebook of a teenager in love- don't take this the wrong way, I am not trying to blast your work, I am far from perfect, and considerably less accomplished.

When reading this I do not get the sense of real love, as for me it is not real, it is a poem trying to be overly poetic, I like raw, honest descriptions of love, I want the truth, that the kisses are not always tender, and are more often plagued by a clashing of teeth, bad-breath, eyes open or closed?? laughing during, laughing after, or that sometimes my lovers touch is not heaven but annoying or tickles rather than excites.
I like to read thing I can relate too, maybe its me, maybe I am unfortunate!!!!

What do you think of this??? it might help back up my explanation above.

 Love Again by Philip Larkin


Love again: wanking at ten past three
(Surely he's taken her home by now?),
The bedroom hot as a bakery,
The drink gone dead, without showing how
To meet tomorrow, and afterwards,
And the usual pain, like dysentery.

Someone else feeling her breasts and cunt,
Someone else drowned in that lash-wide stare,
And me supposed to be ignorant,
Or find it funny, or not to care,
Even ... but why put it into words?
Isolate rather this element

That spreads through other lives like a tree
And sways them on in a sort of sense
And say why it never worked for me.
Something to do with violence
A long way back, and wrong rewards,
And arrogant eternity.

Lol, Vincent your a funny guy. I was trying not to be so grotesque in my description considering I wrote that for an ex-girlfriend Tongue. I could get down to the nitty gritty if I wanted to. I excel at the perverted unfortunately. And believe it or not (sadly) cheese works on women...many many women...well the ones that date people who do not have a lick of creativity that is.

If your target audience is for a particular woman who likes cheese then as a poem it would most probably work for her, however if you are interested in your poem having a more mature, universal appeal then, as I stated it does not work As it offers nothing new.

 Obviously it does not have to be as gritty as my previous suggestion, but it needs to have an angle, when your write about hearts entwined, soft skin, blue of ocean, I don't get excited as its all been done before, use more vivid, different images, more personal touches, incorporate other such things other than oceans etc, to compare your feelings to......

Best Regards

The best suggestion I can give is to read read read.  The more you read, the better you will write.  You have a lot of inspiration and your passion is evident, but I think you could use a little more formal instruction.  By this I do not mean that you need to go to school - I think you need to read.

Maybe, just maybe I will love them. I have not had a lot of time to read anything, considering I have to study for my Asvab, then to top that off my workouts have me going just about most of the day. (I need 2 more points to qualify as a medic) So I apologize for not reading much yet.

actually if you hang out in the company of writers and poets here (virtually) you will be stained with their colors and automatically develop a mature authentic voice. try it.

To have squeezed the universe into a ball
To roll it toward some overwhelming question
To say: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead,
Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"
