Love's Embrace [CTPWC]

I am sitting here, thinking of you again.
The longing for things unseen, visions in my head.
I wonder what you are thinking, on this cold November night;
As I lie here alone, beneath this lone silent candle's light.

You have enchanted me... with your charming ways;
Your words have kept me warm, on dark and coldest days.
I wonder, can you feel me? As my heart is calling out;
A whirlwind of emotion; like fall leaves that are rustling about.

I sometimes think I hear you, calling me by name;
The ever-present glow of strong impassioned flame.
Curiosity fills my mind, your image dancing in my dreams;
You have become a river in my soul... a deep and flowing stream.

You have breathed new life into this soul, awakened lost desire;
An all new purpose for this life, a strong and raging fire.
In these aching musings, my heart quick does race;
At the thought of holding you close, caressing your sweet face.

I am staring at the moon now - full and oh so bright.
Imagination blooming in my mind; and streaming in it's light.
The wind is blowing now, as I wish that you were here;
Gently whispering to me, that you are always near.

"No matter what the distance, I am never far away;
I am forever with you, and in this heart to stay."
These sweet words ignite and illuminate my soul;
And have taken root in my heart as I am now made whole.

Everything has now become you; your essence lights the way;
Your name has been written in my soul for the remainder of it's days.
You are the author of all love that beats within this heart;
And no matter what the distance - we are never truly apart.

Not one knows how much time they have, as it is a fleeting thing;
No amount of money can equal how much joy to my days you bring.
There are so many things that are you, too many to suppose;
Always remember that you, and you alone, are my one and only rose.

That was absolutely beautiful.

Rubi that was so touching and emotional. It is hard to find words to express how it makes one feel. Truly awesome!

Very wonderful words, for some reason I am thinking of the episode of cold case with that song in it....lol but I like yours better.

Very good too!

I really loved this one! It's going on my favorites list. I am so glad I do not have to be a judge and pick one poem for this contest, cause there is no way I could!

The whole thing was awesome, well crafted words, great imagery, good flow, not too long, not too short. Clean and simple but not childish. Very vivid. I loved the way the words read. For example:

I sometimes think I hear you, calling me by name;
The ever-present glow of strong impassioned flame.

That was my favorite part. It just made me feel warmth in my heart thinking about it. Good stuff!
S&F!
