                     Escape
Is this real?
This dreamy,warm touch
Is it really your fingertips?
I have waited so long
For a love like you to come along
I now have a reason for living
Your hand in mine
We breath together
Is this my escape

Your arms wrapped around me
Please never let go
Is this real?
Or am I just dreaming?

I like the title, Allison... as for the poem itself, I'd like to make some constructive comments but you don't have your critique flag activated...

Anyways... enjoyed the read.  Nice work.

Well if you're cool with critiques then I'll give one...

All I wanted to say was that you use wordings that are very common, like "is this real or am I dreaming?", as the basis of your poem's content.  That's not a good idea... because it lacks creativity and educated readers (like the ones in this forum) are easily bothered by that kind of content.  Consider rephrasing things, put them into different words, make the phrase yours instead of just using something that is everywhere, like "is it real or am I dreaming."  

After all, finding the most effective combinations of words is what poetry's all about... right?  Using cliches is like... tracing a picture and saying you drew it yourself.

Just some advice, okay Allison?  Don't take it poorly, I still like you and your poetry a great deal.

Thank you. Next time I write a poem I`ll take out a thesaurus. (I have no idea how to spell that word.LOL) I write books and stuff too so sometimes I use all my words in there. LOL (Bad excuse LOL)But thank you for the help. It really does make a difference.
