My Enough is You

trying the romance

the years pass 

faster than we realise

but looking back 

at you 

at me 

at us 

i can see 

what we together 

have created 

a life 

passion is life 

for us 

and 

we have fought 

oh, we have fought 

i have always held fire

you have always 

doused me away 

in stubbornness 

yet 

we always shared 

a common goal 

the best 

simply the best 

for each other 

i cannot deny 

my love for you 

for it has grown 

into something 

much bigger than

both of us 

it contains us 

and yet still 

finds ways 

of blossoming anew

you let me be me

i know who you are 

although we are opposites 

with my head in the clouds 

you always at the ready to

reel me back 

keeping me grounded 

for my own good 

and yet 

you have always let me soar

knowing every inch of my body 

your love is expressed 

in the complete adoration 

in our lovemaking 

finding new treasures

to take us momentarily away 

longer, deeper, further

attaining new levels of 

complete bliss

abandonment

ecstasy

unadulterated pleasure

 

only serving to bring us 

closer together

to know someone 

completely 

honestly 

to accept them 

completely 

honestly 

to love them 

completely 

honestly 

that is a love 

above love 

reserved for 

the fortunate 

who are awake enough 

to know 

‘when is enough’

my enough 

is everything that is 

you

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

You know you do romantic poetry quite well my friend… and I love that you did it free verse style///

yet
we always shared
a common goal
the best
simply the best
for each other

that was my favorite verse, cause unconditional love is about wanting you other half to have all they ever wanted.

[KWP]

hey hey hey my friend ... thanks for the read ... I am a gonna work on it .. not sure if romance is for me yet .. just so soppy and soggy like a boot stuck in the mud xx

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Hey if a bad boy like can do it so can you.

[Crystal Ellyson]

I love it!!!! I think and believe that you did a great job on this poem. Someone told me once that just write down what you have in your head, cause if you don't you might lose it. It has worked for me. I also love how you describe the feeling so clearly.

[KWP]

thanks you so much Crystal ... yes to wrote down all that is in our heads sometimes ... we have many speaking volumes in there ... the thoughts often come so randomly at at the most inconvenient times don't they ?

Whenever I attempt poetry in this language of wilderness and horses I first imagine the room and the reader. For some reason it is always raining, whether it is the sound of thunder or the fierce and sudden streams against the tall and ancient windows, these images help me to stir the ink and blood. It also helps to imagine the waning wicks hard at work at the shadows of this red and restless room. Once I have created this mental marriage I begin writing to both the audience and the ghosts that have come to share in this moment. I then ask myself, " Why is the reader here?" or "Would I stay to drink what I have just conjured?".
Except for a few bumps here and there and ALL poems bear these wolves, I believe you have created a great space for this reader and as for the subject of love, in all truth it is a very hard write unless you are able to summon the lover within as well as the muse of Byron or Shakespeare. Fortunately everyone loves love. Keep at it…you will begin to embrace the lack of shackles in this fertile form and it will follow in all things unexpected as well. I felt the wonderful heart in your free verse and I definitely stayed to read it.

[KWP]

hey there you ... your words are constructive and give me a sense of peace at the same time .. with the funny synchronicity of myself reading a chapter from 'creative visualisation' by shakti gawain .. I am sure you have touched on it I imagined for myself a home of a wooden cottage on a hill that looks over the landscape with the mist rising with the sun, the smell of pine trees and birds visiting my moments ... perhaps I shall take myself to my wooden houses porch from now on and write from there ...
thanks for taking time out to read, it is nice to feel your presence ... enjoy the supermoon tonight as I know you will and give your dog a big and unending tickle for me x

Ok, first reaction, I need to share this poem of yours with my wife, it spoke to me on many levels, and was so relatable.
Regarding the free verse aspect, I thought you executed it very well. I am a sucker for repetition, and towards the end the three stanzas with the completely honestly worked for me.

You wrote "i want to learn to write poems that do not rhyme and are not vile" in "A little help please"

This does not rhyme, and it is anything but vile.

Well done.

[KWP]

hey hey noel ... yeah its funny isn't it - i sat down with the intention of taking a break from my other writing and this is what came ... it needs work, but you get the gist for now :)

[A. Amos]

Passionate write my friend and Love is in the air:)

[KWP]

cheers boss
