Shadow of the Golden Orange

by Bill Turner   Oct 26, 2005


As the golden orange sets into the sea
Radiant last light reflected in your eyes
Warmth of your loving arms around me
Sound of the waves overwhelmed with our sighs

Realization that nothing else matters in life
I would give it all up for you
All I desire is your love my passionate wife
I want nothing less than a life with you

Hearing you tell your tale of love
I felt your passion and desire wash over me
Silhouetted against the sky painted from above
Your timeless love setting my heart free

Promising my eternal love to you
My arms holding you tight
There is nothing I would rather do
Giving my love to you each night

Our bodies awash in a sea of moonlight
Love binding us together
Making love throughout the night
Destined to love one another forever

    Quite enjoyable.. i really seldom do find "love" poems that attract my interest, but yours certainly did.. it's so easy to fall into a cliche when writing, and you did a good job of keep it original.. all in all, it's a good poem.. seems like you've paid due care to rhythm/rhyme/content and flow; imagery and metaphor combined to make a great piece.. i love a lot of images you've conjured up here;

    Silhouetted against the sky painted from above

    along with the first lines,.. just great.. the sun's setting is kind of cliche, but you kept emphasis on more important things, and so it wasn't like the same thing i've read over and over..

    Realization that nothing else matters in life
    I would give it all up for you

    these seem a bit cliche as well, but i guess im being nitpicky.. i just think you could always tweak your work, but thats me.. great poem.. pZ
