Hello dragonpoet,
A romantic piece! :)
I like the uneven rhyme scheme with the occasional 'unrhyme'.
Best wishes for the contest.

Those eyes make my heartbeat raise ... did you mean 'rise' or 'race'?

Comment from Dawn Munro
This is such an impassioned plea; love pure and simply expressed, a need that can only be filled by that special one..."With you my sadness dies...I want you." Isn't it true? There are some people who seem especially gifted to bring joy into the lives of others without even trying!
Lovely. Best of luck in the contest!

Comment from Ridley Williams
Hello, my friend,
I truly appreciate this poem which expresses the desires and completion attained when a person finally finds their "one and only".
I found your word choice of "taze" to describe the feeling of electricity that courses through the body at such a time, to be a very original way to make that statement...well done.
I also liked the phrase, (and I paraphrase), "You bring the sun's bright rays...and though it tries...darkness forever dies"...beautiful lines full of emotional content.
My very best for your poems success in the contest...

Comment from lyenochka
Great use of simple phrases to make feelings known. I liked "feelings with no disguise" to show pure emotion. I like the simple "I want you" ending the last two stanzas to emphasize the longing. You probably want the possessive form of it, as "its" in the line, ", it strength."
