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

Yes I am all mushy and romantic again today, just can't help myself........

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?

Love the title Neva

Occupying a thousand sunbeams
with a hint of ivory lace

Them two lines just made me smile

Thank You for sharing another beautiful prose of writing Neva

Sometimes being "mushy and romantic" is a very good thing.

[Art Sun]

Neva, your making me fall in love with love poems again. I love how you incorporated some of the five senses into this. Amazing!

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

You should be careful posting such things...
You may end up with a new boyfriend..lol

[Forest Green]

Delightful intonations or romance, pleasure and the vaporous quality of pleasant memories. Each line is nicely inclusive of hopes and dreams and what is so abundantly wanted.

Nice poem...

[Ladysue]
