When I Kiss the Face of Love

A sense of softness speaks in moments
when I kiss the face of love
Occupying a thousand sunbeams
with a hint of ivory lace

I get lost in the corners of my thoughts
as they rush deep inside
Reflecting warmth to capture clouds
so they can no longer
Come near me

There is a place in my heart
that greets the breath
of the face of love
A million times I would inhale
the scent with no complaint

I delight in the mysteries and secrets
this breath so often tells
And etches within my soul
lovely memories that no words
Could ever take

Author's Note

It's the Spring and the sap is rising... and the hormones sloshing... I love the 'hint of ivory lace'... which sent me thinking of lingerie... and scents which I would not complain about...

You write with such soothing and caressing beauty... Do you do massage?

Yes Neva! You are mushy,and romantic,and I'm glad you can't help yourself. Because the mushiness,the Romance ,and the Passion is what makes this poem an enjoyable read.

I loved it! the way you write has the ability to let the people reading get a glimpse of what your trying to express, and what your feeling. Keep it up!

Mushy and romantic is probably my favorite style of writing, other than creepy and so powerful it gives me goosebumps. I think it's beautiful the way you have put this together, "ivory lace", "etches within my soul", "capture clouds"... wow, i like this a lot a lot a lot, keep writing, please.

Perhaps you should not try to help yourself because this is great!! :D
I especially like the line,
"I get lost in the corners of my thoughts
as they rush deep inside"
This piece was very engaging and though I had to read it over a few times, I enjoyed it! Wonderful work! :D:D:D
