Just can't do without you

by Lonely Rider   Jan 16, 2012


There are a few, but they aren't like you..
I can do without me, but not without you!
love is priceless, cannot be bought for a cost..
hold on to it, before its all lost

hand in hand, let us sail to a place,
where sun drowns in an orange haze,
Let us lie beneath a moonlit night,
Our dreams dancing side by side

I trace my lifeline etched on your palm,
while you look at me, innocently calm,
smiling broadly, yeah it's true
There are a few, but they aren't like you

stealing glances by the shore,
diving into the ocean's floor,
through your eyes I would love to view,
my life can go on but not without you!

**I wrote it in 15 minutes ... this poem is a result of a conferance chat that I had with my friends. They challenged me to write a Love Song (not poem) in simple language ... they specifically asked me not to eat a dictionary before writing it :D
As someone said - best things in life are simple :)

    I like this first stanza - it just opens up showing really how much you cherish this person. The use of the exclamation point - just shows us how much you actually mean what you're saying.

    Tracing your lifeline on her palm? How brilliant is this. As if to say you are made for each other. It is written I think this is the best part of the poem

    What an awesome write!

    Your talent flows so gently and easily. Give you 5 mins and you could come up with beauty in some form.
    I really like the simplicity, the tenderness in this piece. I can't pick a favorite line, each one is filled with love and and dedication to someone.

    ^^Such a true statement my dear. Love cannot be bought and we have to hold on to it!

    ^^OOoo..I really like this part and can see it so clearly in my mind. Such a romantic scene!

    The repetition of this line "not without you" makes it effective and also shows that is how love is. One can't go on without the other. Really enjoyed this read!!
