My Heart Stops A Beat

by Italian Stallion   Apr 23, 2008


My heart stops a beat,
Every time our eyes meet.
It's you that I adore,
You're the one that I live for.

Your radiant smile
Your soft tender lips
The happiness glows,
From deep within.

Every day without end,
Every second I live,
That's the promise I'll make
And the chance I'll take.

There's eight billion people
In this ever populating world,
And all I really ask for,
Is the one and only you.

    Joe, your romantic style still flourishes even to this day. It has been a while since I've read your poetry, but reading this one feels like the only thing that has changed, is the constant improving of your style.

    This was a very romantic, passionate poem. It brought a smile to my face as I read it, in a low, subtle tone. It suits the mood right.

    The only thing I was wondering, is where the rhyme scheme went. I'm not too picky with them put, I was curious. It didn't effect the poem at all for me.

    It's a very good poem, and I wish you best of luck on the contest.

    I'm not one for love poems, because I feel like people just repeat the same things over and over, and it gets a little repetative.

    I did ,however, like your descriptions. Words like "radiant" and "tender" really put vivid pictures in my mind.

    I was kind of confused about the rhyme scheme. Some parts rhymed and others didn't, it threw me off just a little, but not that much, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. It had a great flow, I think that was what made me overlook the rhymes.

    Overall, I thought it was a really sweet poem. You're a romantic aren't you? Just an observation. hehe.

    Good job!

    Keep writing!
