Come with me to the boardwalk and wander down to the turbulent blue sea.
Come with me to the fire and let the shadows of the flames dance across your face.
Take me back to the sandy white shore with the cool waves lapping at my feet.
Take me back to the yellow sun high in the sky, warming my face.
Follow me down the rough path and feel the cool stones on your feet.
Follow me up the steep hill and stare at the moon’s inviting face.
Get in the car and leave the lonely world in the rear view mirror.
Get to the top of the mountain and watch your fear hide its face.
Bring your best and your worst and we will explore it all together.
Bring me to the first place you felt truly alive and we will basque in its face.
Let us get lost in the inky night sky, and never find home.
Let us get lost in the abyss of each others eyes, forever staying face to face.
Come with me to the fire and let the shadows of the flames dance across your face.
Take me back to the sandy white shore with the cool waves lapping at my feet.
Take me back to the yellow sun high in the sky, warming my face.
Follow me down the rough path and feel the cool stones on your feet.
Follow me up the steep hill and stare at the moon’s inviting face.
Get in the car and leave the lonely world in the rear view mirror.
Get to the top of the mountain and watch your fear hide its face.
Bring your best and your worst and we will explore it all together.
Bring me to the first place you felt truly alive and we will basque in its face.
Let us get lost in the inky night sky, and never find home.
Let us get lost in the abyss of each others eyes, forever staying face to face.
This poem type is called Ghazal. In it you will have between 5 and 15 stanzas with 2 lines each. The second sentence should always end with the same word. In mine it is face. The stanzas should be able to stand alone but also work together. I really enjoyed this piece as it is different from what I normally write.
