Moving in the right direction, but still no closer... | auroraborealis's Blog

I think that the reason I haven't liked where my other attempts have gone is that they recall the past and that's not where I want to go with this.   He isn't my past, he's my future.    He brings me so much joy, peace, love and every other good thing and I want my poem to reflect that.   I've been working on moving in a new direction with it... one involving all five senses, but I'm not sure in which direction to take it.   His love is like the perfect chocolate mousse--it's light, airy and joyful and at the same time rich, luxurious, decadent and completely satisfying.    Do I want try for something that is light and joyful and strikes a single pitch perfect note or do I go with something richer and deeper with undertones and overtones?   I adore him.   I completely and totally adore him and I may end up writing volumes of poems before I ever arrive at the perfect one, but I'm never going to stop trying.   I want to melt his heart the way he as completely melted mine.    He's gorgeous, wonderful and amazing and I am completely besotted.    Drunk with love.   I feel totally secure and completely happy and will very happily spend the rest of my life trying every combination of words in order to try to express how much his love has changed my world.
