Written for the 'Love poem using four words' contest by Darla Seely

 

When my mind is mute from pain, I seek your oval moon eyes, to glow like a star at dusk. To ease me away from the edge. To show me calm in the rain. My soul is akin to your love. I ache for you to sing my name. Echo our song in the tone of a harp. To wake up with you at dawn, feel your soft gold hair, to feel safe in your warm arms. To hold you near. Rest my face upon your silk skin, form and flow our lips in joy. With your hand on my head, gaze at your chic aura all day. If I was to draw you a home, I'd make a room for my soul, to ink you a poem each day. If only I was a wing, you a bird, then we can soar high into the dark sky. Run step by step up a hill, but not fall, like 'Jack and Jill.' If only we were able to stop time, so I can walk the path home. Then life may turn fair, then when the wind blew with woe, we'd be safe to dote in our vows.

Wow! The diversity of the brilliance you weave are truly amazing, my friend! This piece truly takes one’s breath away..inked for a special someone..pulls at my soul strings! Your way of inking truly captivates me each time..the words, the depth, the delicate allure of this piece is truly astounding (as always)! Your pieces make me wish to read on..like a novel, a tale that continues..always awestruck with the imagery you create in minds, feeling your words on a different level!

Oh my, this is such an elegant and magical poem, expressing deep feelings for the beloved, illustrated by delicate wordplay and beautiful imageries... I love almost all the lines here, "I seek your oval moon eyes, to glow like a star at dusk" So profound!! "Echo our song in the tone of a harp" Eloquently crafted.. "If only I was a wing, you a bird, then we can soar high into the dark sky" Ah, I don't think I've read something this unique and beautiful in a long while.. Absolutely impeccable

Within the constraint of using words not exceeding four, you have written a wonderful love poem which has all the flavour of an intoxicating romance. Your symphony of love is like the crooning of a dove.".....we can soar high into the dark sky. Run step by step up a hill, but not fall, like 'Jack and Jill.' Enjoyed the playful comical tone of these lines. I have written one poem which I am ashamed to enter when I compare mine with some of the great entries read here. Yours I am sure will be placed at the top.

WoW! Silent, This is romance at its finest. I am a hopeless romantic at heart, so you know I loved each word and stanza. I can’t pick what stood out the most, I enjoyed it all in its entirety. It looks like a winner to me. Best wishes in the contest. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis

A lovely poem, Silent One, of romance and love. I loved it from the start...it reminds me of how I looked at my husband and how I felt about our love in the weeks and months after rotator cuff surgery. I was in such pain, but I took solace in his blue eyes and freckled skin knowing he was with me every. single. moment. I often wanted to stop time or even go back in time when life was a bit simpler and more fair for him and I. :-) Your poem resonated with me. I appreciate your well-crafted words
