The kiss

Old age had taught me. Nothing sweeter than a kiss of love.

                                The kiss



The hot days of Summer days were upon us. Youth, wine, song and Germany were are blessings. We had the long Summer days to roam, talk and find new places to discover.

I was mesmerized by your beautiful hazel eyes and your willingness to dance in the ancient cities.  You were my dear maiden and I was your knight in shining armor.

We sat by the lake holding hands and holding the sweet kisses, tasting of the sweet German red wine. We talks of great dreams and travel. You were to be a doctor and I was going to save the world with my words. We had the strength of youth and hope.

Today images of two people holding on to their youth and their hope make me smile, leave me with kind and sweet place. I remember your hazel eyes, flowing blond hair and perfect tanned  sun-kissed legs from the kind Summer days.

We were lovers once and today, all I can remember is the warm and sweet kisses. The long embrace and us dancing to the city's music festivals, knowing the freedom of a real love, holding no regret and allowing the allure of sweet and kind love to overtake us.
 
The kiss,my friend. When real and true. No sweeter place to know.

I think, that if I were to know you, it would be hard for me not to like you. You like the language and you know to exhibit it without being a showoff about it I like that. A nice poem. Words matter in my world.

Words do matter. Nothing better than a chess game or checker game. And time to discuss words and life. Thank you for reading and the comment.

Overall, this was a great piece! A bit redundant at points - using the word Summer repeatedly sort of took me out of the flow of the work. But other than that & a few grammatical errors, it was lovely.

Well done!

Your words are very visual John, that's what I like best about them. The picture of young love has been beautifully portrayed by you; the passion, the heat, and the valley of uncertainty that awaits them in the future.
It made me sad reading this, reminded me of things and people I have lost over the last few years.
It is a very touching read. Thank you.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Annie. Yes we do leave things behind. Less painful with time and distance. Every kiss become a valuable memory.

[Isabel25]
