My Pale Porcelain Angel

Come into me
my pale porcelain angel.
Your brown brown hair
Your lovely dark eyes grateful
to gaze into mine.
Skin-to-skin warm,
closely we cling,
and I could have sworn
that our hearts synched.
One beat. Together.
Your sweet body.
Mine forever.

I hate this.

Don't take it personally, I hate nine out of ten of all the love poems I've ever read.

I wouldn't use such harsh words, but love is a very overused theme. As a writer, you should try to branch out..

The fact that the theme is overused wouldn't bother anyone if the poem were well-written. Anyway, Bella, you should try viewing it from a new perspective, so that it doesn't seem cheesy. Try using unusual metaphors, words which are not normally connected to love. Who knows? Something good might come out of it.

Love poems generally suck.

Avoid.

Ah okie. It's the only love poem I've ever written, and I haven't written any since.
I didn't even think of the unusual metaphors idea, though. That may have made it a tad more bearable...

Don't feel bad kiddo, it's not an awful poem or anything. It's just not good enough to carry such an overdone subject. That's nothing to worry about, plenty of famous love poems suck.

Ah, thanks. I didn't expect it to be "oh wow that's great!" anyway. I just wanted to know what you all thought of it. I'm glad now that I know tht stuff's overdone though.

Oh and, thankies, Mir.

The poem is just a set of poetic stock phrases... Sorry, nothing to comment on.
