To be loved by a poet - 1

I'm crestfallen in the shadows of my raging firecrackers when you're far. I'm embedded in the gaze of your tempting Silicon Valley. Dumbfounded by the cabbage twists and turns of your deceitful twilight eyes. my raspberry! The howl of my desires, and voids of my needs. Sink me in the streets of lavender sins. Your beards have enchanted my thoughts and I can no longer decipher illusions from imagination. The reality of your tender existence is pushing me out of mine, pulling me into your cloves of natural cocaine. You're the hope of my tomorrow, the faith of my today and the suffering of yesterday. I long for your beaded touch and the threads that carve holes in it. I crave for your whiskey eyes. It fills me through the primrose spring. Pats me into the deep cracks of your cemented bed. Let me sniff your breath, let me tell you its colors. Allow me bit the scars of your wounds so I can share its taste with your coal lips and let you know, you can no longer bleed because I'm the final healing. I want to feel the vertical lines on your chest. Inhale the infinite tunes of your gasps. Close my eyes and still see you in crystal bays. Twirl my hands in your hair and reassure you that I will make you live forever. Appreciate your strong nerves for working on my neck and at your desk. To remind you that you didn't feel true emotions your whole life, till you met my flat nyash and its reflections.

Tonye, if I had not known earlier who wrote this, I would have suspected that this is a poem written by Ink Empress. Your style in this matches much to hers. This is so beautiful. Like a bottle of champagne that bubbles forth, romance is bubbling and spilling out. The sensuality expressed is palpable in most of the lines. A poet being loved by another poet will be a wonderful possibility as their interests match. Usually a poet gets a partner who is very prosaic. "Allow me bit the scars of your wounds so I can share its taste with your coal lips and let you know, you can no longer bleed because I'm the final healing." Wow... he will be really lucky.

Hahaha, I know right? Ink Empress is a great poet. I always tell her, that her metaphors take me to another realm. And yeah! He's really lucky. I have so much love to give but I want it to be worth it. Thank you so much, Dear Valsa. I've been away for a while.

Dear tonye, love like this is rare and precious and not always do we find such love and if we do its not easy to describe or express the love that we feel within in such a way that would truly depict exactly how we feel inside! I love how youv used metaphors and creative word pairing to phrase your love and admiration for this person in the most seamless manner! Lavender sins and also whiskey eyes and natural cocain! How intoxicating infatuation can be youve reminded us readers through this!

Yes, Andrea. I'm the poet loving this person. It's exceptional to be loved by one. I sometimes wish I was the muse, not the poet. The one to be loved by a poet. Hahaha.

How beautiful it is to be loved by a poet, but such is the nature of love that even a poet can break another's heart and they say a poet is born from heartbreak.. The sensuality and raw desire are palpable throughout the poem, particularly in lines like "Sink me in the streets of lavender sins" and "I crave for your whiskey eyes." These lines convey a longing that is both physical and emotional, with a sense of surrender to the intensity of the feelings.

The closing lines, with their blend of tenderness and intensity, underscore the deep bond and the transformative power of this relationship. "Close my eyes and still see you in crystal bays" encapsulates the enduring presence of the beloved in the speaker's mind, even in moments of physical separation. Overall, this poem is a profound and passionate portrayal of love's highs and lows, capturing the essence of desire, pain, and ultimate connection in a beautifully evocative manner.

I enjoy your lovely poem and the exciting story within it. I have a feeling that this beautiful person is a California computer wonder. Actually, I need one of those to help me get up to speed.

Okay, Hilda, you've got me thinking if you're a poetess or a poetess. Because why are you so right? How on Mars is that possible? Hahaha.

Hi Tonye.... You are sharpening your skills day by day. Each new poem proves better than the previous one. You have a way with words, quite different from that of the ordinary poets and are able to put in more shades of feelings into your lines through powerful metaphors. "Allow me bit the scars of your wounds so I can share its taste with your coal lips and let you know, you can no longer bleed because I'm the final healing." How comforting! Anyone who reads this will fall for you. A beautiful poem of love.

Awwn Dear Valsa. Thank you so much. A good muse is the key. I never rely on a real human muse when writing. I usually create one and muse on the negative or positive. Guess I've found one to make me move from dark love poems to where I sing the tales of my heart intensely like Rumi.

Dear Tonye! Quite mesmerizing. I love a poem that pulls my emotions right into the mist of the message. I think that you have a way of capturing passion and longing that's truly unique. If anyone asks where I am, I am still in your poem. Keep shining! - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Hello Daniel. I'm still trying to find you here. Still lost? I appreciate your kind words. Got your reply. I did miss myself on here too. Didn't know I had not written for so long. My emotions have not been in one place. I'll try not to stay away. Cheers my friend.

This is a lovely poem, Tonye. The imagery is simply stunning! I love 'Sink me in the streets of lavender,' and too many other phrases to count. Blessings.

And "flat yansh" is metaphorized. Just something he loves to say.
