Habib Baby
snuggling in the starry-light sunroom
we silently engulfed ourselves in lovers trance
passion was thick in the air
as we nuzzled the aroma de la paix
with your head so nicely in my lap
I tenderly stroked your forehead
brushing back you silken hair
You were sick, and I your loving tender
set forth to stroke your foxy locks to health
and as you lay listening to my heartbeat
I watched intently, keen on protecting
you, mon amour,
into infitinity

Those lines are stirringly touching. It seems you are in live and this being the echo of what goes inside you.Originally Posted by FozzieFunk
Deeply romantic. I enjoyed reading and of course this thirsts me for more.
I was in love, but I often find myself losing the things I love.. I have that kind of forgetful personality. My memories often tread slowly through my consciousness to remind me of what I had. when you say you thirst for more, do you think the poem should be extended?
To imagine that one was in love can oftentime led to the creation of such a work of poem, which does not make sense at all. It does not hurt the object of the poem at all, because love never existed for either the writer of this poem, or its objest, I think personly, but honestly. foxy locks? It ridiculed the fake love more than one can ever know.

I'm not one for poems with cliches but you combined these lines with a fruitful touch and struck a balance that didn't make me cringe and allowed me to appreciate the sense of loss underlying the poem.
Well done.

I'll admit, love poems are cliche.. but I wrote this while drunk at 5 in the morning after suddenly becoming enraged with inspiration. Virginia, I wish you'd offer constructive criticism. I didn't post this to inflate my ego, I want honest well thought out suggestions. My love was very true.. and to this day I still feel it. It was a unfortunate situation.
