I WANNA
I wanna break into your heart
Like a thief in the night
And barricade the door
Behind me tight
I wanna steal your attention
Like an armed robber would
And give it all back
Like only I could
I wanna win your trust
Like an Olympic gold medal
Wear it over my heart
Like a delicate petal
I wanna be with you
Still always free
Your skin against mine
Like the sand against the sea

You captured intense emotions in this. I liked the repetition of I wanna throughout the stanza, and particularly liked the final simile of sand against ocean. It called forth images of the roughness of man and the softness of woman coming together as one. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this.
I feel your words .. the emotions they portray .. the lack
of limits that it brings to mind .. and most of all its overall
feeling of freeness and spirit

i liked this also, but after reading it a second time, i think that the second stanza needs work. the first you describe yourself as a thief who wants to barricade themselves in - okay makes sense. 3rd stanza you wear their trust onver your heart like a gold medal - makes sense. fourth stanza - you wanna be free skin on skin like the sand and sea - again, yes i can imagine that. but the second stanza of having an armed robber steal attention then give it back, doesnt make as much. its the only stanza i trip over while reading it. then again, maybe i dont know what im talking about, but i think if you sharpened up that one a little bit it would be golden.



You nailed it with this one. I was swept up in the smoldering current of emotion portrayed in this piece. The repetitive first line of each stanza"I wanna" was fast moving and supported throughout with dynamic and descriptive language - like the stanza below. I like passionate pieces that aree xcellently written passionate not overly explicit. You managed to bombard the mind and dazzle the senses with all sorts of exotic depictions.
"I wanna break into your heart
Like a thief in the night
And barricade the door
Behind me tight"
I am thinking that you purposely did not use punctuations because you wanted to show a seamless show of passion and continuity, but it would have helped perhaps to have one at the end of the last line in the last stanza. That's minor when compared with the overall quality of this piece. The imagery, cadence and word choice are all on target!
It really rocks!!
