I STILL REMEMBER THAT NIGHT

When I first tasted your lips
your love sweetened my heart
I'm now ecstatically happy
I'm now standing as the statue of liberty

I still remember with a flash of thought
how our love was merged together
we were like sealed oil, smooth and tight
now my love and joy is heightened

I still remember that night
how you rolled your magical hands
with delightful touch of a feeling
I still feel nostalgic and I am craving more

I feel the smoothness of your affection
in your absence the dew comes
like your presence and i felt good
your love is truly my shield.

(and) my soul grabbed your arms lose the word (and) it doesn't add anything to the poem.
I'm now standing as (the) statue of liberty (add "the")
I still remember with(a) flash of thought (or... with flashes of thought) either way is good.
how our love was merge(d) together (add a "d" to merge)
I still feel nostalgic and (I am)craving (for) more (add I am) remove (for)
in your absence the dew(s) comes (remove the "s")

my favorite lines are:

I feel the smoothness of your affection
in your absence the dews comes
like your presence and i felt good
your love is truly my shield.

this is a really excellent "love" poem. it is not cloyingly sweet like so many love poems are. you did good! lol!

I always appreciate you for your constructive feedback. This is truly what I prefer than normal praise. Yet you made your own preference from the lines.

Hi, Jackweb beautiful piece of writing. I also agreed with Candlewitch those lines resonate with me:

I feel the smoothness of your affection
in your absence the dews comes
like your presence and i felt good
your love is truly my shield.

Good piece all around. This the kind of stuff I like to write on little scraps of note paper and sneak in my wife’s lunchbox or into a little homemade card. It’s my way of keeping the fire burning. The only thing that says I love you better than the written word…your actions.

Great work,
Tim
