As if wine,
crisp when you wore that smile,
would dull the splendour.

Tender tendrils,
half past one and counting
every second you were more
than breath and arms away,
rolled from my mind,
to catch you,
you knew how,
caress you blind,
and make you mine.

As if wine,
I drank the sight.

As if time,
stretching out before us
could evade the clash
of you and I,
a gorgeous crash
of sweat, song,
scream and sigh.

As if time
could pass us by,
a faint hope cast aside,
we filled the night.

As if gold,
could never shine that bright,
I traced a finger,
lingered on a starlit patch,
the destination
of a milky way glow,
six hundred lightyears old,
and realised...

...a sun gave up her life
for me to revel in your skin
and see that sight,
the almost hidden jolts
of tranquil heartbeats
deep within.

As if gold,
I bathed in you.

Your words are like a serenade ~ they sing beauty into my heart and mind. This is an extremely romantic poem. I love it.

I read Songbird and came to read more. I'm takin' off my coat and stayin' a while. Damn, man, you can write.

Realy lovely

L, I happened to see this in your sig line. It's really good, unique rhythm to it. Form and content combined exquisitely. I rarely reread a poem here, this one is getting printed. Perdita

That's it. I have GOT to get better about reading the new poems regularly.

Still your groupie ;)

A solid 5

A modern love poem,

very well done.

Great image concept that only a modern writer could explore and use:

"...a sun gave up her life

for me to revel in your skin

and see that sight,

the almost hidden jolts

of tranquil heartbeats

deep within."

A must read.
