Ready

a poem about giving one's self up to love

In your eyes I’m lost,

I don’t want to be found.

With each kiss you leave on my lips I come alive,

I can still feel them lingering after all this time,

Gone is the memory of anyone who isn’t you.

I live for each moment we have stolen from the world,

Daydream about you when we are apart,

Not a single moment of any day passes that I don’t think of you.

You are the reason I smile these days,

You’re the reason for the song in my heart,

With one caress from you and I find my soul healed.

Ready to take a chance,

Ready to give you my heart,

Ready to be everything you ever dreamed of,

Ready to be with you.

You’re the reason I daydream,

The reason I believe wishes do come true.

I wake each morning from my sleep and I reach for you,

The dreams seem so real I swear they are true.

I lay there for a moment wishing you were here,

Wishing your pillow on the other side of my bed,

You twist my mind in to directions it’s never been.

Make me look towards a future I never dared to imagine before,

Got me thinking of a forever,

Got me believing that fairy tales just might can come true.

Got me ready to take a leap of faith,

With nothing more than holding your hand.

Ready to believe this isn’t just a whim,

Ready to give you my heart.

Got me ready to give you all of me,

Ready to take a chance,

Hoping I’m not alone in the things that I feel.

Got me ready to be with you.,

Got me ready to believe you are my dream come true.

You definitely have a very good raw talent for poetry. You explain what you feel very well do an excellent job of expressing yourself to the point where it's easy to feel and understand where you're coming from. My only real suggestion would be that you work on structure. Try not to make it where it's simply one line after another after another. I think this could only add to your current talents.
