Oh, my dear
How do I love thee?
Those deep rambunctious chocolate curls
With that dashing
Comforting smile
Would lift any furrow
Found upon a woman’s face
And make her
Feel a sort of funny way
That only a man can do
Out of all the pretty ladies
Who were lined up
Ready to bare
The responsibilities
Of a wife, mother, and woman
Your eyes were set
On a queen
Who may have not been ready
To be all of those things
However, those eyes don’t lie
They saw it
Deep within
This marriage
Was more than a lover’s bed
But two people
Who could not define
Nor speak
Of how they felt for one another
An everlasting love

This is more than poetry. It’s a love letter. I definitely dig what you are saying here. Thanks.
Beautiful and heartfelt, explaining the way love works at times, thanks.
Uh….I agree. Its a love letter, and a flippin great one at that…..I am always and only writing as a form of relief from pain or anger. And in doing so my art is limited and often simply the ravings and rantings of an upset child with a strict rhyme scheme. U said to me before to write my works in poetry form…….I was wondering if you could elaborate bc I am ignorant to what u mean by that…….And I would also……..if you have any…….like a piece of advice for writing poetry without having to rhyme. I never have and am curious if I ever could. Sorry that was so very long. Anyway, that was a beautiful piece of ur mind and heart and I say thanks for sharing it………”
these eyes don’t lie” was awesome.
Hello!
Thank you for your comment! What I meant by poetry form is putting your piece into lines and stanzas instead of a paragraph. The lines and stanzas create breaks or pauses in your piece, which could add emphasis to your choice of words.
Honestly, I wish I had more talent at rhyming in poetry. I always find poetry that rhymes as beautiful. As for advice, I suggest you just write and don’t think. That is how all my poems start out. Then, over time I critique and edit them. I hope this helps!
