A feeling I cannot replace
Is the love I find in the space
Of your unbreakable embrace
My love.

And when life drives us apart,
Loneliness enters my heart,
A feeling that will not depart,
My life.

I cherish the feeling of safety
Of warmth and peaceful tranquillity,
Amongst your layers of luxerity,
My bed.

Hi,

I really enjoyed this. It flows nicely and I love how it seems like a love poem and turns unconventional at the end. The last stanza in particular was really great.

My only criticism is that; "A feeling that will not depart" sounds a little clunky.

Hope this helps,

Jas

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

Hey ichigo! Very well done! Like Jasmine said above me ^^^^^, I love the type of poems that get you thinking it's a love poem (romantically speaking) and it turns out to be an inanimate object of some sort. Plus, I absolutely adore odes. (I think that's the plural form, correct me if I'm wrong.) There's nothing as far as I can see that you need to work on, so keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to reading anything else you post on here.

Have a great day! God Bless!

first of all, I have to ask: Is there a double meaning to this? Because it seems like it. If not for the title, and the little line at the bottom of the second stanza, I would have thought it a romantic poem. But I guess not. :)

I loved it! It was both unique and form-fitting. It showed emotion and gave me an idea of how you felt about your loving bed. Good job.

Love,
Fixed

The hardest mountain to climb will have the greatest view. Everything at a different angle: memories serve as double vision, a view from the valleys as well as the precipice. But everything that goes up must come down.The descent from the peak will be twice as graceful & three times as difficult

Poetry is my cheap means of transportation. By the end of the poem the reader should be in a different place from where he started. I would like him to be slightly disoriented at the end, like I drove him outside of town at night and dropped him off in a cornfield.
