I’ll Follow

Wheresoever on this earth
You feel you need to go
Allow me to accompany you
Bathing in your glow

Proximity is my desire
For when you hold me close
My soul ignites eternal fire
My heart is like blooming rose

But roses fade with summer suns
All things move in waves
You come and go like senseless tides
And all the force they have

Change the faces of my shore
Shaping our tomorrow
I take your hand in solemn vow
Where you go, I’ll always follow

Comments

The below is a computer generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

The poem "I'll Follow" is a sweet and romantic piece that captures the desire to be near the one you love. The use of nature imagery, such as bathing in someone's glow and the blooming rose, adds to the tender and organic feel of the poem. The repetition of the theme of following the person you love creates a sense of devotion and commitment.

However, some of the lines feel a bit cliche and could benefit from more unique phrasing. For example, the line "My heart is like blooming rose" is a common comparison in love poetry and could be reworked to add more originality to the poem.

One suggested line edit could be: "My heart blooms like a rose at dawn." This adds a fresh perspective to the comparison and adds an element of time, emphasizing the idea of growth and change in the relationship.

Overall, "I'll Follow" is a heartfelt and enjoyable poem that captures the beauty of devotion in a relationship. With a few tweaks to language, it could become an even stronger piece.

Hello, Tim,
This is precious. It has a simple, graceful flow to it that lends the feeling of sincere love. I somewhat agree with AI regarding the rose blooming, but not. You are describing your heart blooming, which is a beautiful visual image. The entire poem is gorgeous, but the last line is breathtaking.
Thank you,
L

and maybe just one cliche, but easily fixed. How about: [My heart blooming like a rose?]
This gives one the sense of feeling completely at ease with the partnership; a really solid, I've got your back, kind of love.
Nice job! ~ Geez.

This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

You always find a way to display love in the most elegant ways. Well done!

This feels very relatable, to want or to have that feeling of a love you’d follow to the ends of the earth. Beautiful poem here.
