The One
Sweetest healer …
The first anomaly I’ve had was you
the sweetest healer of broken hearts
Chaste like new born flowers set to bloom,
And monarchs tearing me apart—
Nestled closely you consume my chest,
With perfume scents as you imbrue my skin.
Then to my heart your mind compressed
and blandished my soul that swells within.
The follies that mumble in discreet
How if you wore me, I would wear you
For my heart rests upon my sleeve
Inked in blood, the things you knew were true.
Then as you smiled, my heart repaired itself
the pieces finally felt right when put together
And slowly evil withered and then expelled
in warmth again, our love, and fairest weather
And somewhere near the hearthside, by the embers,
Burning deep, this love became unquenchable.
It was like smoldering ravines, forever,
And the feeling was and is incredible.—
I could spend ages exploring your lips,
Indulging in the sweet honeys of your tongue
The soft gentle caresses and playful nips,
The ways I could kiss you made me feel young.
Need I remind you, when I say I love you
It’s not of habit or to cuddle at night,
when those eyelids withdraw me from you,
and in my dreams your debut takes flight—
On repeat, I endure the goosebumps from your smiles,
An inferno, where my soul burns, Like a phoenix—
I’m reborn, the most fortunate man for miles,
Each morning I stare at Heaven’s credence.

Lovely romantic poem to the one and only. Very nice, Paul. I enjoyed reading it.
Did you want to enter this in the Love Poem Contest?
Thank you so much Phyllis. I’m glad you enjoyed this.
Nicely rendered Paul with heat-felt sentiments of love. Well done.
Thank you so much Tony. I appreciate your kind words.
I think I have read this very beautiful poem from you before but still I loved to read it again..your words are very captivating..thank you so much for sharing dear Paul..
I’ve made drastic changes to the one before. The first time you may have read it, it was a rough shell of what i submitted now. I hope it improved since then. Lol
Yes..I remember it was quite different..the 4th line of it had gotten stuck on my mind somehow ..it was “anxious butterflies tearing me apart “ before, wasn’t it??
Yeah it was, it didn’t flow when i was rewriting it so I changed thee wording to monarchs, seemed to flow better.
It is very beautiful now!
Thank you
