About the Poem

This was written to a man with whom I fell deeply in love. We met and became friends; then during a very disturbing event, discovered that our feelings were much more complex. Timidly, we explored them, and opened the gates to a love filled with splendor.

The Viking

by Shannon

A powerful radiance is felt instantly.
Flames of passion dance in his eyes.
He makes my heart ache with desire.
His words are music to my soul
That fill me with love and longing.
His mind holds the wisdom of the ancients.
His heart holds compassion and love.
His lips hold a promise of sensual delights.
His arms provide security and warmth.
He is as humble as a beggar on the street,
Yet as noble as a Viking chief.
There is a sense of mystery about him;
But his life, he has opened for me to see.
He is truly a beautiful and amazing man;
He is the best of all my dreams.
I will love him throughout eternity.
With not part, but with all that is me.

I LIKED YOUR POEM!

Manda

These are beautiful words which express how much I feel about somebody who touched me and taught me to live again. Sadly, his heartache is only at the beginning of a long journey. I only hope we will be together at the end of it but if we aren't, I am blessed we had a little time together than none at all.

Touching poem

Johanna

My ex bf/ best friend is half viking, so this reminds me of him totally, we broke up recently i miss him so, he has so much passion and fire in his eyes i cant explain it. All i can say is that he's the best thing that has ever happend to me and i hope someday we will get back together. I love him so much.

Shannon, thank you. The Viking I love is not a "stone's" throw away. Your beautiful words say everything my heart and soul want to tell him, but can't. Sadly I will never feel his lips on mine and his warm and tender embrace. It just makes me weep. If he should one day discover your loving poem, just maybe he will know that I have been here, too.

Sandy

I am studying the vikings in school. I love learning about their period, but my teacher makes them seem like they hate everyone. I appreciated the fact that it is a viking poem about love. Thank you

ruth

This poem is very nice and i found it sweet coz it describes the person i do love.

Lou Ann

Shannon, You describe specifics of what you love about him in simple but meaningful words. For example, his arms, lips, heart, mind, the look in his eyes and then their effect on you. I feel as though I am living this love you are expressing! I absolutely love it! I like the way you use opposing thoughts about his character, ie. mysterious but open. It's so intriguing and true about love! Thank you for sharing your talents. I am looking forward to reading more of your writing.

I think that this is one of the most beautiful poems I have read

Aine

The poet paints a beautiful picture of the man she loves and her feelings are communicated quite easily to the reader. I could feel the man and could easily fall in love with his image.

Beautiful, it reminds me of a certain tall, handsome Viking I love.
