Take me with you to your Atlantis
Where hues of blue glisten in noons
For eternity we embrace in its promise

Are days of sober in crystallic bliss
Are nights of glacial comfort under mystic lunes
Take me with you to your Atlantis

Wash me into a tender kiss
Too soft to be witnessed but the full moons
For eternity we embrace in its promise

Beyond boundaries of mortality at this
ocean, through the skies and dunes
Take me with you to your Atlantis

Volumes and arks fill up the abyss
with painted tales of Atlantic ruins
For eternity we embrace in its promise

When love dreamily left only to reminisce
as the ink of Plato seeped in tunes
Take me with you to your Atlantis
For eternity we embrace in its promise
First shot at a villanelle:) (This was hard)
Lucid dream
When I was young they had no faces
Eggs
Smooth as nog
Strain to convince
Me or you
To run from hurricane fire inside
The walls of that house
Carry on austere reflection
We are crystallic
All their irises
Black maelstroms
Keep face
Of course I have known what you are doing
Avoided that gaze
There are more vital veins I am satisfied
But must I wake you to shake you?
Or is it I who
Becomes the ascetic?
Jan C May 2022
To a stranger I met in a blue night
On a cold like winter's might

A stranger I want to always smile
To give a warm breeze with her shine

A thousand words to express my love,
But lets be honest, these words are not enough.

I won't be counting for how long may this last
I just want to say everything I deeply hide.

Hi, hello, its just me a fish under the deep sea,
looking for light since I got washed by a tide.

I was lost in the deep blue,
and then there was you.

I was searching for someone, swimming in the space of the ocean.
Then I came across a stranger who suddenly became my moon.

Huggable,
in broad daylight or
under the moonlight..
Someone who stick by your side,
from the day one of your life.

Without you day is night
That day you became a highlight

One thing I want to hold tight
I won't let go with all my might

Open your eyes
Lets exchange our sight
If what you see is cold as ice
Take me eyes and look how you shine so bright

A Second lead Syndrome is in my tone
The feeling of second place never leave me alone
With other much more fitting the standard
I wish it was me who'll fit and stand out

Now this place is something new
Confessing things that should be kept but true
Things might change is what I'm expecting
Letting you read this while I'm waiting

two hundred words so far, but who's even counting?
It doesn't matter how long this poem is, does it?
What matters is the feelings are true
I only do this for you.

Its been a while since I wrote something like this
The old feeling of writing for someone I can't resist
Choosing the right words to fit you beauty
Picking the right phrase cause things might get a lil' dizzy

I just want to gain peter pans flight
A pixie dust so we can view a perfect sight

As I welcome the winter snow,
I remember your cold blow.

I silently watch everything get covered with the winter snow,
like the way your actions turned into a cold show.

The way you say my name with a tone,
Its like we never kissed under the mistletoe.

Then lets add a little dazzle
a few pixie dust is not a hassle
I'll show you the way back into the light
so let me see a smile that's bright

Can I call you Lin?
That reminds me of Yin
a passive female principle of the universe
Jilian is the word dedicated to this verse

A Painter can bring color to a haze
A Black and White that turned into Ablaze

The artist added a touch of Flaming remark
In a writers canvas that is cold and dark

A Writer that will go down in history
Whom the Painter will never forget in memory

Writing a canvas for a Museum,
Painting a poem to announce in a Colosseum.

You're not a painter but I imagine a canvas, together
Not a poet but you taught me how to write forever.

"One life for the two of us"
I'll make it even if it cause a fuss

I know I won't be alone,
Where my heart choose you to be my home.

Written in my heart, your name
I will not forget even if I burn into ashes by a flame

We talk about things,
Opened up for a little bit
What am I suddenly Feeling?
Did I took a random hit?

A sky bullet suddenly falling in
or it was just me realizing?
I was falling,
While you're helping with my healing.

I don't think
That "I love you"
Makes justice to what I feel
Doesn't matter how many times I say it
There's not a word
Not a sentence
That will put in words
This feeling I have in my stomach
When I lock eyes on you

A different kind of poem as you may already know
A mix of different ways of how I express my write
All different ways but one is surely right
The reason behind every line is you, my own

To write words over and over
To explain what it feels to love you
To express what you mean to me

No words can be enough for that
And so I always end up erasing them

Don't speak harshly,
Your words will form swords in me

Touch my cheek; speak gently,
And they will form worlds in me

your name is forbidden in my mouth
or in my heart because when i think about you;

I'll cry a little more,
hurt a little stronger
love a little softer
because you no longer
make me feel sober

I'm drunk on the
memory of you

it wasn't until the sun rose
that I realized
just how much
I was in love with the moon

You can see the moon
as well as I
from where you are.

Perhaps I can stretch my arm
up to the wandering crescent
and grasp it firmly
to swing myself
across the meager gulf.

I'll lightly drop
into the lap of your land
before the moonlit vision
of your loveliness.

Take me with you to your Atlantis
Where hues of blue glisten in noons
For eternity we embrace in its promise

Are days of sober in crystallic bliss
Are nights of glacial comfort under mystic lunes
Take me with you to your Atlantis

Wash me into a tender kiss
Too soft to be witnessed but the full moons
For eternity we embrace in its promise

Beyond boundaries of mortality at this
ocean, through the skies and dunes
Take me with you to your Atlantis

Volumes and arks fill up the abyss
with painted tales of Atlantic ruins
For eternity we embrace in its promise

When love dreamily left only to reminisce
as the ink of Plato seeped in tunes
Take me with you to your Atlantis
For eternity we embrace in its promise

She was like music,
and I longed to dance.

Her heart was the beat,
and I begged for the chance.

Her words were the vocals,
and I was put in a trance.

Her smile was the melody,
and I fell in love at first glance.

And if you are to love,
Love as the moon loves.
It doesn't steal the night,
It only unveils the beauty of the dark.

And if you are to love,
Love as the rain loves.
It doesn't wet the bodies,
It only washes the sad dirt of the souls.

And if you are to love,
Love as the wind loves.
It doesn't drift away,
It only cleanse you to the core by invading through each pore.

And if you are to love,
Love as the sun loves.
It doesn't radiates heat,
It only pours its warmth on you to enlighten your way.

And if you are to love,
Love as the star loves.
It doesn't delightfully twinkles,
It only reminds you that not even death can separate two hearts.

And so forth,
if you are to love
Love as the whole universe
& not just a part of it.

You asked me why I like you
But I didn’t want to tell
Some of my reasons are cheesy
But here is why I fell

I love the way your lips curve
When I make you smile
It makes me want to pull you close
And kiss you for awhile

I love the way your eyes twinkle
When you talk about things you love
I truely believe
You are a gift from above

I love that you are compassionate
You have such a big heart
That was the first thing I noticed
Right from the start

I love that you don’t judge me
For my less than perfect self
That is more attractive
Than any amount of wealth

There are so many more reasons
But I’ll start with just this few
Maybe someday
I’ll give this poem to you

I cannot compose brilliant poems, sonnets, or verses,
and I cannot speak to you in Latin or Greek;

I cannot move you with any language made up by man.
Love is the only only language I could touch you with

If you only knew how much I could love you.
If you knew I love you;
If I were brave enough to tell you at all.

If you were a book,
I'd read you again.

If you were a ride,
I'd wait in line.

If you were my dream,
I'd never awaken.

If you were a star,
I'd never look down.

If you were a flower,
I'd never look up.

If you were mine,
I don't know what I'd do;
But I'd do it.

Let me be with you
We can rewrite the stars
With each other side by side

Let me fall with you
We can climb up the mountains
With each other hand in hand

Let me walk with you
We can jump over the pitfalls
With each one step together

Let me dream with you
We can build our own world
With creative imaginations

Let me fly high with you
We can roll over the clouds
With wings of freedom in the sky

— The End —
