Another short poem dedicated to the love of my life, Ionia. Ionia inspires me in so very many ways. She is a truly remarkable woman.
My love,
Turns the dark into light,
Makes my world bright
My love,
Brings joy,
Where once there was sorrow
My love,
Makes this life worth living,
Where once I merely existed
My love,
Makes everything real,
Has taught me how to feel
My love,
Has taught me the meaning,
Of unconditional love
My love,
Makes me a better man
My love,
Makes me feel like,
The luckiest man alive
My love, is Ionia,
Always and forever.

That third stanza is great. Honestly, I think that’s the most powerful part of the whole poem.

Thank you, Charles. I really appreciate that. I am not sure that I necessarily have the skills to pull these poems off, but I cannot help declaring my love.

The trick is to not worry about skill and just write. Poetry is best from the heart.

In my humble opinion, the skill of a poet is fueling the poem with passion. If normally the poet stumbles with his words, his passion causes him to want to express what words are not fit to describe, and through his passion he rises to the challenge and succeeds in his attempt, this passion makes the poem so much more than just words.

Thank you for that Chris. I agree with what you are saying. I tend to find that it is an outpouring of emotion, rather than a conscious effort to craft anything, although that is not to suggest that it doesn’t require any effort. It is from the heart, rather than the mind as such.

Oh those are a given and were before you went into romance. I think you fell in lust first and then fell in love. Or maybe you fell in love and then got lusty. Either way…it is working for you.
