Love-Spell

Love-spell

In your direction I do glance
Is it meant to be, or just chance?
I stare at you for a short while
Hoping you will return a smile

I take you by the hand
Lead you across unknown land
Into the trees, away from view
I hold you close, wanting you

"Lay with me, under the trees canopy
Let’s look at the stars, as time drifts past
Sleep tight my angel, into love we both fell
Joined together as one, caught in loves spell
"

With nervous hands, I feel you
You lay still in the settling dew
You lay naked upon my arm
Knowing you’ll never come to harm

We make love, so gentle and slow
I enter you with all the love I know
No longer a girl, no longer a boy
This is our heaven for us to enjoy

Dear H S

I very much enjoyed this piece of boy meets girl and they fall in love under the stars and tree's canopy. It is a beautiful Summer tale and very sensitive. I would say that all your struggling with this poem has paid off for you, as I can find nothing wrong with it. Always, Cat

Cat

I really thank you for your comments as I so nearly didn't post this one due to not being sure it worked, now I am glad I did. I did struggle with it but I am glad that struggling 'paid off'. Nothing wrong with it (blushes)...my first perfect love poem...oh! that just won't do, I have a dark 'hooded stranger' reputation to keep up! LOL! Thanks Cat, HS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "With all that I am and all that I could be, I walk this earth and yet nobody sees me".

Damn it!

Ziggy, you caught me! I was hoping you'd miss this one and still think I was a mean and nasty dark poetry writer! I just couldn't give this one a sad ending. I am pleased you liked my 'different' write. Thanks for reading and commenting my friend, HS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "With all that I am and all that I could be, I walk this earth and yet nobody sees me".

Love the chink of light in the darkness

Sometimes in your work I see A darkness too deep for me I have to stop and step aside For me from hell it's been a long ride Today I'm very pleased to see A chink of light shining out to beckon me. Seabhac

A darkness

I do tend to write from a darker perspective on life, but this one was keen to be shared. It is a short ride to Hell, but it is a long long road back. Normal service will resume later in the week with some dark gothic, sad and painful words! Thank you for writing, I do appreciate it, kindest regards, HS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "With all that I am and all that I could be, I walk this earth and yet nobody sees me".

Hi Dan, OMG!!! I am in

Hi Dan, OMG!!! I am in shock. I have read TWO "really sweet" love poems written by you in the past 10 minutes!!!This one and one in that "other" place...Be careful bucko, you will definitely get me thinking you're a pussy-cat. Figured I'd better add that "cat" in since you being a Brit, might misunderstand. Very nice writing Dan. Let me tell you though, you never fooled me. I knew from the start you're a sweetheart. Even your dark writes show the depth of your emotions. Keep sharing. take note, 5 stars!!!! Now you know how impressed I was/am!! as always, Sue

Shocking!

Yeah my image of the dark hooded strange one is slipping! I am not actually comfortable writing this sort of poem...it feels forced, whereas my alternative topics seem to flow easier and I prefer writing them. This took a 'spotlight' session for a while, which again goes against the grain for me...I wasn't actually sure what spotlight meant, however as soon as I saw what it meant, I quickly nominated the others around me to move them up and above. You can't be a hooded stranger with the lights shining on you out in the open. 5 stars as well...I must try harder! Hope you are feeling better my friend, Thanks for writing and glad to see your poem went into the spotlight and dropped me down a few places. Take care and chat again soon, HS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "With all that I am and all that I could be, I walk this earth and yet nobody sees me".

Spell of love

I am charging a high fee for my love-spell, it is difficult to make and doesn't always work...I'll see about getting you a discount my friend. Hungry for love!...I hope my poem was food for thought for a while, regards and thanks for writing, HS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "With all that I am and all that I could be, I walk this earth and yet nobody sees me".

Firstly thank you for looking at it from an editing point of view, no changes, that is good to hear. A change of track does seem to have created a few more responses than normal...I'll work on some more like this but it does not come naturally to me, however the positive comments has given me confidence to try some more like this. Spotlight...hmmm I am not comfortable with 'spotlight' I prefer to keep away from the limelight/spotlight and just post discreetly. I am a human...that is a relief! Thanks for reading and commenting, regards, HS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "With all that I am and all that I could be, I walk this earth and yet nobody sees me".

Rhythm

An interesting comment about rhythm, is it the verses or the chorus that throws you, I only ask because this was written to a tempo as it will be used as a song and has already been recorded as a demo, where the timing and tempo were matched perfectly? Thanks for the comment, HS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "With all that I am and all that I could be, I walk this earth and yet nobody sees me".
