Your warm and sincere sentiment are expressed beautifully in soft imagery which float upon waves of lilting meter. Nicely done and I thank you very much for sharing it.

This love poem, Only You, has a subtle progressive syllable count from seven to ten per stanza. That is a cool style that is like a secret only some can share. Perhaps the code to future interests.

Good choice of words to evoke the love you feel and how it has brought light and warmth into your heart and life.

I like the internal rhyme the line three of each abcb quatrain. It make the flow very smooth.

Keep writing

Ah, Susan, this is lovely - your rhyme works wonderfully, but it's the fabulous use of metaphor that appeals most to me, a poetic device often abused, in my opinion, the metaphor only something the author can decipher. Yours is plain, but evokes beautiful imagery. Well done!

This work has reached the exceptional level

Susan, this is a wonderful expression of what love truly feels for you. Looking into your heart, realizing what may have been there and opening your heart to this truly special someone.

Everything about this most exceptional piece of poetry is exciting!! Beginning with the stunning artwork of a heart exploding with a new found happiness that I feel you richly deserve. The other thing is how you use the acension of your syllable count in each stanza which begins at seven and adds a syllable per line which culminates to ten. Pure genius Susan because this shows to the poets on FS your truly great creativity. This entire poem reflects who you are!

Very well thought out, written and presented to the site.

I hope you enjoy this day and I would like to wish a very healthy and prosperous New Year of 2017 my friend,,,,,,,,,,,, Jimmy

Align my heart once again,
and hold my head above water.
Where darkness has been ... breath life within,
flushed by our glow, becoming much hotter.
... Au contraire, ma chere. But there is beauty, breath and life in deep darkness, too.
You simply have to be perceptive enough and look a bit harder to find it.
Have a ever seen a million twinkling stars in broad daylight? The stars shine brightest when night is at it's darkest hour.
Nice poem, Susan. Filled with light, and love, and laughter...as usual.

    Ahh but Deano, the beauty in darkness is not lost on me. Anything worth having is worth the effort...it is usually in the darkest hours truth can be found. There is a rawness and mystery held within the night...a stillness, that at times one can feel like an intruder. At the same time, a glance towards the heavens...can take your breath away. AHHHHHHH. :-) Dean, thank you for this wonderful encouraging review!! I always appreciate you!!! (ps Don't go)

This is a beautifully written and illustrated love poem what rhymes well. I wondered if this is meant to be:
"Where darkness has been ... breath (breathe?) life within,

Your new photo is lovely.
