My Lover

My eyes will tear while picturing her face,
My heart will pause if I recall her touch,
And sadness from the lack of her embrace,
Reminds me that I’ve never loved so much.
So fondly I remember moments shared,
Those many times we talked throughout the night,
And relish love I’d dreamed but never dared,
While knowing she still gives my heart delight.
I love her with the urgency of life,
As hearts must beat so must I love her still,
And comfort her when she is seized with strife,
Surrendering my heart and nerve and will.

She is, in simple terms, the perfect blend,
My lover, my companion, and my friend.

Very good, "I love her with the urgency of life," right on! Grover.

I typically encourage more figurative language in poetry, but many people write excellently with venacular. I agree with Grover, in that the line "I love her with the urgency of life" is the best, and I believe this shows promise in your poetry. Good start.

Well...I really like this part...in simple terms...

She is, in simple terms, the perfect blend,
My lover, my companion, and my friend.

Wonderful!!
