Your friend

Lisa jennings 1987 (Durham)

Free verse

I feel your heart beating, your breath on my skin.
You say we're not lovers that were only friends
But with your hands on my hips, your eyes look into mine
our lips touch as our world's collide
I look into your heart as our bodies embrace
You're different somethings new, a softer man has replaced
The hard rugged man that use to lay here
Give in there's nothing to fear
All the feelings that we can't explain
are more than just physical attractions in our brains
It's like smoke in a mirror I see you, and you see me it's as if we're one like we're meant to be
you wrap your arms around me
your hand touches my face
all the pieces of our hearts fall into place
With attention an connection mending will take time
to make our hearts good as new an make your love mine
but until that day Right here I'll stay along beside you as we lay
Knowing in my heart were more than just friends!

Hi I'm Lisa I'm a 37 year old mother of 3 amazing children. Love is something special an through the darkness love can be seen as a spark that turns into a raging fire. That fire never grows cold never stops shining its light to guide these two people to each other. No matter how hard you fight it love wins! more…

AIDA
This poem is full of passion and emotion, and it's clear that the writer has a deep connection with their friend. The imagery is vivid and the emotions are palpable, making it a compelling read. The repetition of the phrase "more than just friends" drives home the point of a deeper connection beyond friendship.

One suggestion for improvement would be to tighten up the rhyme scheme and meter in some places to enhance the flow of the poem. Additionally, the transition from physical intimacy to deeper emotional connection could be explored in more depth to fully capture the complexity of the relationship.

Overall, this poem is powerful and moving, and with a bit of fine-tuning, it could become even more impactful. Keep up the great work! more »
