Golden Emeralds by ~SnicksRocksHerSpots:iconSnicksRocksHerSpots:



From Tennon to Willow
—Golden Emeralds

Golden hair and emerald eyes,
Cold metals are your metaphors,
But further from the truth they could not be.

True your hair is yellow bright,
And your eyes, the deepest green,
But they are merely settings
For the blazing heart that beats within.

My heart aches not for the ice of gems
Or the cold of precious metal,
There is no comfort in those things.

Rather, my heart aches for
The heat of your addictive soul-
Enveloping mine and never letting go

Heal my shattered core,
Keep my demons at bay
With your burning essence.

I give my heart to you,
It is yours to raze or—
Love.

This is an experiment of sorts. I have a very long epic story that I do not have posted on DA because it is way too long and way too rough (as of yet) for publication. However, this poem is from my male main character to my female main character of that stroy. Let's just say he has a lot of angst, and two of her most vibrant features are her yellow hair and green eyes, also they have a difficult relationship with different outside forces threatening to pull them apart. His name is Tennon and her name is Willow, and that's really about it. I'm usually not a very 'romantic' person and I wanted to get to know my male character a little bit more, so I put myself in his place and wrote out his feelings about his girl. I'm sorry I can't explain more, but it was an attempt so, please enjoy, and let me know if I succeeded in trying to get into a male persona. Also, this being my first 'love' poem please let me know if I missed the mark and landed in 'fluff' land.

Beautiful.

I don't know about love poems. I think they're all basically fluff. But this is pretty fluff. ^^;

But is it corny fluff? I guess that's what i mean by fluff ^^

Or else you are that shrewd and knavish sprite
called Robin Goodfellow?

Thou speak'st aright;
I am that merry wanderer of the night.

Not too corny. Maybe a few kernals, but nothing too bad.
