Okay, let me first say that I hate love poems. The happy ones. The lost love poems are fine, but usually it's just the same stuff. Talking about his eyes and his love. It just bores me, but anyways since this was a peice written by you, I read it with an open mind.

and WOW.

It blew me away. I think this poem might have cured me from my hatred of happy love poems. Your words almost floated off the screen.

----------> Distant rhymes embrace my cries,
for oceans can only part us physically.
`` This part really describes the guy from England, because of the whole ocean thing. It makes it personal, but not too personal, because it could be used metaphorically for long distance. A lot of people have long distance relationships, and I'm sure they would be able to relate to this.

----------> (So hold hands with my voice for now)
`` I imagined someone singing this part with one of those high pitched angel voices. It really stuck out in my mind.

----------> "Leave crying to the heavens, love,
for your eyes are meant to whisper to my lips,
not shed the tears designed for lovers lost.
`` Okay, I've heard rain being compared to tears before, but I've never heard of the clouds crying for you. It was so original. I never thought of it that way.

Ahh. I don't even know if all that I said makes any sense. It made sense in my head, but it might not make sense to you. Lmao. I liked it thoughh. Great job! x]

Keep writing!

This was absolutely amazing. This poem had some imagery.. the words were extremely amazing.. and everything was absolutely beautiful. I again, found no flaws. I don't think there will ever be a flaw in your poems.. lol. They are all nearly perfect. You are one talented girl. :] 5/5

Oh, and I give you props for coming up with a awesome title that fits the poem perfectly. :]]

Simply gorgeous...i look for passion in poems not flaws or typos and such, and this was pretty overwhelming, the images you painted here, are like daydreams of the broken hearted, good lord!, i wish i could elaborate more on how ambivalent this piece was for me, rich with beautiful scenery, and sad for a heart that yearns such serenity...
stunning write..
nothing else i can say..

Awww... You made me shed a tear when I read your note. :P Honestly...it was touching. First love...is a first love... (yes, very clever sentence, excuse me :)

"And I swear to you, I'll reach for us tonight,
with my loving thoughts, I'll kiss your tender dreams."
This was very sweet. I really like the expression "I'll kiss your tender dreams."

I can relate to this poem. I met long long time ago two guys from New York city and I had a small crush on one them. (shhhh, a secret ;) Nothing really romantic happened but I had this kind of vision...-like your poem- in my head.

I think you must have very sweet memories to carry with you and that is great, isn't it. :)

This was really beautiful.

"Distant rhymes embrace my cries,
for oceans can only part us physically."

^^ Such a wonderful opening. It gives off the sense that despite [physically] being miles apart, the love is not lost and is as strong as ever. The relationship is lasting despite the two lovers being so far away.

'"Leave crying to the heavens, love,
for your eyes are meant to whisper to my lips,
not shed the tears designed for lovers lost..."'

^^ This was lovely. I can only wish that someday a lovely boy will say those words to me. :P I like that you put in the word 'love' here after 'heavens'. I think that gives a sense of realism about it, so it's still very poetic, but believable as well.

Nicely done.

This piece was very beautifully written. And the wayy you worded it was outstanding. I understand/get the piece so well. And I'm amazed at it's excellence. One of the best pieces I've ever read :] 5/5

Okay wow beautiful title. True attention graber.

1st Stanza:
"So hold hands with my voice for now"
^That is so unique and a lot of people would be scared to try something new but you made it work. So much meaning was packed behind that line that I was left in awe. Every word in this stanza had a place and everything was carefully thought out which is good to see.

2nd Stanza:
This stanza was so beautiful and full of love! If this was said by a boy then wow thats amazing because I didnt know there were guys like that out there in this world. The emotions felt real and nothing seemed forced which had me feeling for this couple.

3rd Stanza:
Okay the imagery her just blew me away! WOW. I'm left breathless. This was an amazing way to end this beautiful piece and I love that you ended it on a happy note because I finished reading with a smile. Beautiful emotion expressed with your flawless choice of words.

I adored this piece hun well done.
*5/5*

This is a really good piece
keep up the good work
and as for your repressed memory.
its better to have loved than never loved at all
even if you cant remember his name. (:

"And I swear to you, I'll reach for us tonight,"

I love that line. Really. I don't really like love poems because most of them are superficial and completely drained of emotions [except for love, but I hope you understand what I'm talking about!!] (even though I have some...), but this one was really good. I hope I didn't confuse you too much or sound like a bumbling idiot. That's just what I need. :P

I loved this poem. I was looking at your profile before I read the poem, and thought to myself "Most poems that have no rhyme usually do not appeal to me." I tried to view this one with a completely open mind, and I must say, I found it absolutely amazing.. My favourite part:

"Leave crying to the heavens, love,
for your eyes are meant to whisper to my lips,
not shed the tears designed for lovers lost.

I loved it. You have an amazing talent.
