    Well done.. Acrostics can be hard to do properly especially with rhyme and you did both.

      Thank you, it was hard starting off, but I knew what I wanted to say, the hard part was finding words that fit.

    As Em says, this form is hard to do justice to. I like the fact you have added rhyme, but i feel the poem is lacking lustre. Maybe its because of this added difficulty, or maybe I feel you could write a better version of this. After all, this is supposed to be your love story! Make me feel it. If you need more room, add another word. Also, using metaphors and similes often can add needed imagery that 'straight talk' cannot.

      Thank you, I will work on it. I will admit I had a little writer's block with this one, as I have never really tried to write an acrostic.

      I think I will take the advice that you have gave me on sonnets. (That some times it's easier to start over and have a fresh start) because writing about love doesn't come easy to me. I know what I want to say, but not how I want portray it.

    This is much better,

    just playing with your version, I have made a few suggestions that maybe of use?

    Illuminating my life, you
    Nourish my soul like fire...

    Liquid flames of pure affection;
    Our love is like the renewed breath:
    Vibrant sun-rays that
    Emerge from emotional storms.
    ^
    as I say, just a little play with your words. I realise that is a personal piece, so this may not fit your story.

      Thank you, the words you used actually sound better. It's what I was trying to say, but I couldn't find the words.
      Thank you again, I'm going to use this, if you don't mind.
