I almost loved you

I want to write about the waynighttime revolved around youin moon-darkened silenceand how the stars splashed across your facein silver shadows.

I want to write about the way your whispersspilled from your lips like wineand how your skinheld so many delicious secrets.

I want to write about the wayyou breathed my nameas if it were a song,and the way your laughterbounced off the skies.

I want to write about the wayyour tears felllike broken diamonds,and how your breath gave me life.

I want to write about YOU -of your beautyand how it transcends me.and I want to write about the wayI almost loved you...


*You only live once, so live it to the fullest and have fun!

*gurls are sweet, Gurls are nice, but im the gurl with whip cream and ice

I hope y

I really liked this.  VERY beautiful write.. the imagery was very well done.. I onlyhave one suggestion.  To help it flow bertter and make it easier to read, maybe you could try...

"I almost loved you...

I want to write about the way
nighttime revolved around you
in moon-darkened silence
and how the stars splashed
across your face in silver shadows.

I want to write about the way your whispers
spilled from your lips like wine
and how your skin held
so many delicious secrets.

I want to write about the way
you breathed my nameas if it were a song,
and the way your laughter
bounced off the skies.

I want to write about the way
your tears fell like broken diamonds,
and how your breath gave me life.

I want to write about YOU -
of your beauty and how it transcends me.
and I want to write about the way
I almost loved you..."

There you go.  That would help a bunch..
I enjoyed this nonetheless.  VERY well written.  Wonderful thoughts and beautiful words.. I am impressed!  Nice work.

I agree with Marie 100%
The poem would be comeplete "wow" material if it was done in that form.
Loved what you had to say here though!

You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.
