Love words! There is no better way to start the weekend than with a dose of love! <3

Our love is paradoxial
twisted seredipidy
days that pass
with speed
but are small eternities

It feels like I've
slept next to you
forever

hours
minutes
days
tick by

marked by your smile

falling away into comfort
shivering, held close to your shifts

playful claws and cruel kiss
contrast and contradictions

Loving you
has made me fearless

Fierce

Reveling when the corners of your lips
curl

beautiful in every
single
way

perfectly flawed
and flawlessly perfect.

Shallow little breaths
the sound of you drifting off
chaos falling away
skin pressed tight, so soft

holding onto you
as all the lights go dim
makes me feel more at home
than any place I've ever been

When I'm in your arms
I know no concept of fear
everything seems much calmer
when you pull me near

you are the peace that
I've been searching for.

Yess thank you for you! I can feel the actual unconditional love throughout this poem. I can truly tell there is a deep realization of what love is, compared to the "lust" that we often hear about in love's place. Beautiful poetry and thankful you shared it with us here on Steemit!

I love your .gif graphic at the bottom of your post. You asked for feedback. I'm happy to share some; hopefully you take it as feedback and are inspired by it. When i was in university my favorite thing to do was explicating my peers poetry, and having my own explicated in return. We'd do a more informal version of the link below, and that is what I'm going to do here. It is brutal, beautiful, and exhilarating. Poetry is written to relate, to change, and to resonate. Your poem did that in a small way for me; I think it can improve.

I ignored the first half of the poem as it was very vague, very abstract, and difficult to follow. I wasn't sure what exactly you were referencing and therefore, I didn't care. The first real image I saw was the included portion in the image. Ahhh! Imagery.

I loved the "shallow little breaths." and the image of the other falling asleep. I had the impression of closeness, of being held. Was the "skin pressed tight" a reference to the speaker and the subject? Or was it a description of the person being held?

My favorite emotion was the stanza about "holding onto you [...] makes me feel more at home than any place I've [..] been." Wow. I just resonated with that portion. I wanted to crawl into my man's arms, drift away into sleep and know, know to the beat of my blood against my bones that space, time, location didn't matter. That this was home! MMMmmm. I loved that part.

Then the magic of the moment became disjarred, lost and torn away. The next stanza/section was cliche. "When I'm in your arms I don't know fear, everything seems calmer when you pull me near." I like the idea of fearlessness in the arms. I've felt it too. How the world can't hurt us when we're hugging; that nothing else matters when I'm surrounded by strong arms. The second two lines ruin it for me. It felt like forced rhyme. I suggest re-working this portion. Can you illustrate this sense of fearlessness with an image? Like a lowered heart rate to match? the slowing pace of everything because of holding? The drowning out of everything else when the subject is in your arms?

I loved the final lines: "you are the peace that I've been searching for." I appreciate the double meaning with "peace/piece" the play on the homophone. Like if you read it aloud it could either mean "peace" or "piece." That was awesome. I'd like it to connect though to something earlier. Like a setting of discordant pieces, or a chaotic world outside demonstrated through some sort of imagery.

Thank you for creating this. I found pleasure in the image and feelings your words awoke in me. Keep writing! Remember, excellent poetry comes from revision.
