Love is a lover
If I am a rose with thorns then you are the fingers that caress my petals
If I am the great wide ocean, then you are the vast blue sky
If I am a love letter, then you are the thoughts that write me
If I am everything I say I am, you must not believe me
Love,love,love
Why do you have to be so elusive?
I whisper your name in the dark
Only to find it etched on my skin
I thought i had you figured out
But I must be dreaming, I’m dreaming aloud
To know what you are about
I try to wash my hands clean from
All of these stains you left in my heart
But to no avail
Read the rest of the poem Show less
If you are a piece of art in an exhibition
Then I am the artist that paints the image
If you are my muse, then I must be the dreamer
Hopelessly hoping and
I’m still waiting

"I like the visual imagery this poem creates. But I do feel that this would be more fitting for prose than poetry. It reads more like a beautiful story. Anyways, keep writing!" -
