The sky, so clear like blue velvet,
Reflects upon the tranquil waters.
Dewdrops, like tears of joy,
Run down the petals of flowers.
The brook makes a gurgling reply
To the calm silence that surrounds it.
The water trickles ever so softly,
Not disturbing the ambiance one bit.
The sea embraces her lover, the shore.
She moans as they embrace tightly.
The shore's aim is to please his beloved

The world shall continue as it has before.
Old ones shall weep, babies shall cry.
Nothing can change the affairs of the world,
Not even you and I.
My sweetheart's lips upon mine
Simply adds passion to the tranquility.
Together, these emotions create a combo,
That fills me with immense ecstasy.
The kiss we share is lethal, yet life-giving.

You will always be my only one.
As you turn and walk away from me
I am hit with a sudden premonition,

Poem "You and I"
I thought this was pretty good. I especially like the beginning for the nice, vivid descriptions. A bit of advice from my experience with writing poems: What I find makes poems more interesting is instead of using emotional words and abstract ideas, try to decribe them with metaphors and such, or even illustrate them with body language. Symbolism in place of huge concepts such as fear and love goes a long way in making a more personal poem. Anyone can use conceptual words, but it takes true creative talent to express those concepts in descriptive ways. Nice job with this, though. I enjoyed it.
