Silent as the clouds above,
In all that fluffed up glamour;
She strides across the dark blue sky,
Showering in ardor.

And all that look upon her face,
Go blind from all that luster;
For the sun pours from her eyes
Engulfing all in fire.

Oh, how men burn before her gaze!
They suffer so completely,
For what do men ache for more
Than a chance at all that beauty.

Silent as the clouds above,
Men look but cannot touch her;
And many will be quite content
To love and gaze and suffer.
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter, as long as I'm laughing with you.:)

Hi,

I really enjoyed this!

I thought the rhythm was completely captivating, and that the rhyme was very effective. The poem as a whole flowed beautifully.

I'd change the semi-colon after "glamour" to a comma.

I'd also change "Showering in ardor" as it sounds a bit forced. Maybe try "Showering down ardour" or "showered with men's ardour", depending on who it was that you wanted to be showered in ardour. The way I saw it from your line was that the woman was making ardour shower down onto the people below.

I'd put a one syllable adjective before "men" in stanza three as I think the rhythm is a tad bumpy in this line.

I'd change "Men look but cannot touch her" because it's cliche.

I love the last line-the sound of it is brilliant.

Hope this helps.

Jas

With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise."

A beautiful expression of the heart, I love it.
The words of line 1 stanza 1 which also reapeted in the last stanza was too cold for the poem find a better line.
You did a good job.
Gift are to those who appreciate it, use yours wisely

Beautiful poem.

Oh, how men burn before her gaze!
They suffer so completely,


That just fits.

Beautiful!
