Your eyes like twin moons in the sky,
Is it day or is it night?
My only thought to bring you nigh',

Your hand like a miraculous clockwork,
fascinated i watch, like a bird trapped in the slow dangerous movements of a snake's coils,
but when there should be pain I feel only the softness of your touch like the kiss of rain on soil,

When my heart is pounding and seems to be the only sound, gently i hear your movements like the splash of rain on river,
together combining to be stronger than rock that is you and i,
together and apart, we always come back to our start, i will be with you always and you will always be there waiting for my happy return, I love you Dmitri ~ S2

So blurbs are shorter and the poem contest entries gotta be longer? I don't understand the difference.

*GUYS PERSPECTIVE*

Today's that special day,
Sweet, milky chocolates and
Delicate flowers.

Today is the day that I propose to her too.
My love within this diamond,
My joy within this golden band,
My loyalty within the engravings.

Oh, Valentine's Day, how you brought me and my love,
together.
Oh, Valentine's Day, how our love will last,
forever.

Will you marry me,
On this joyful day, filled with love?

It all started the day i met her,
I think it started that day...
I started feeling weird...
It al happened of a sudden,
My heart beat started going faster...
I don't know what you did,
It just kills me every minute since i said goodbye...
I feel I was stupid that day,
I wish I could go back in time,
So It could never has happened.
Im sorry I changed you,
It was a mistake I will pay with pain and sadness,
Its the only way I will be good with myself,
It only stops when I talk to you,
If only you could know....

Uh... Sorry if it was supposed to be happy or valentine's day themed... Thats my type of "poetry"...

My Heart Was Broken.
Filled With Lies And False Promises,
I Felt Like Dying.

You Came When I Least Expected You,
Greeting Me With Your Warm Embrace.
You Told Me To Trust You,
So I Gave You My Heart For The Keeping.
Hoping You Wouldn't Abuse It.

I Let All My Hate And Pain From The Past Dissipate.
And You Changed It To Love,
Showing Me How To Forgive.

You Took All Of Me, Even My Flaws.
You Kept Me Safe And Never Let Me Slip,
Even When I Wanted To Leave This World So I Didn't Have To Suffer Any Longer.

You Kept Me Sane And Full Of Hope For The Future,
Guilding Me The Whole Way Showing Me And Teaching Me How To Love.
And I Finally Felt What You Felt For Me......
Which Was Love!

In My Eyes You Are Everything.
Your Perfect In Every Way.
And Only For Me.
Je T'aime Vraiment Et Notre Amour Ne Changera Jamais!
Je T'aime.! <3 <3 <3
