My Heart Cries Out

By Peyton1

My attempt at Acrostic poetry.... for Valentine's Day
"My Heart Cries Out"

M.y wishes for you? Easy to figure out my dear
Y.ou, to be mine, each and every day of the year.
 
H.earts can be strange creatures, as you know
E.ven at times when they should be ticking slow
A.ll this suppressed emotion, speeds up the flow
R.emembering now the first time I saw you glow
T.hat look in your eyes, my heart could melt snow.
 
C.ries into the night, that our love not be forsaken
R.easons beyond reason, these tears are so blatant
I .solemnly swear to honor the oath I have taken
E.ven though I yet cry, as my heart is still aching
S.till, you'll remain hidden, until your heart awakens.
 
O.ut of sight you are, but you're not out of my mind
U.nless you should forget, love turns water into wine
T.o you love, I say, "Now 'till forever...Be My Valentine."

    I'm not really mentally in the proper headspace to give you the kind of comment this piece probably deserves, but good work.

    All due respect, none of us probably are. All of us at our own level of it, kinda why I’m here again… Thanks for the kind comment, each one is as important as every one. Later dude………………………………..~Ace~

    Omg! I stopped breathing briefly, and found myself at a struggle for air. I love how your title bleeds into your poem, literally spelling out,, my heart cries out. Mike, you are special to me and please... I've said it quite often now, "take care of you." ...hugs so tight that he gasps for air...  Scholar

    You have always been able to read my poetry exactly as I meant it. It only took your breath because you were able to climb inside my heart and feel what I felt when I wrote it. Wow, I should really shutup now..... It's an uphill climb and I can't see the top, yet I climb, because somebody said there was one....................... ~ACE~

    Thank you for taking the time to read my latest attempt at poetry, Meagan. I am pleased that you like it. Being a Virgo, I am quite an emotional individual. I think some people don't care for that so much. I connect with things differently than most. Anyway, thanks for your comment, I cherrish each one............... ~ACE~

    A gift, two angels have commented upon my poem. Does this mean I am to be doubly blessed?..................

  • A former member wrote: The beauty of it creates a magical sense of love that you can feel as you read. Greatly enjoyed.

    Thank you for your comment, oh angel of the soulless dark. Love is indeed magic I think, and just as illusive to find. For illusion is not magic at all...Thanks for reading me, and I'm pleased that you enjoyed my work............... ~ACE~

    This is of a pure natured beauty and soulful emotions interwoven within the heart's pleas.... It is utterly gracious from a devoted Valentine... Creative and heartfelt to say the least... Nicely inked, hotrod... Ace :)~

    You have such a talent for the art of language Kendra. Your complimentary phrases rise on a whisp of warm air and then float gently across a crystal clear pond before coming to rest quietly upon thier own reflection. Such a soft landing it is that they create not even so much as a ripple on the glassy surface.......... Thank you, oh angel of blue, may your shade of this color remain ever so beautiful........................ ~ACE~
