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?

"Mushy and romantic", but well-written. Love your wordplay and imagery. This is why I try to stay away from romance; I just can't write it like this.

Usually I don't go for mushy poetry, though I do consider myself a romantic at times, I really enjoyed this. Wonderful language and imagery. ~ BlackCl0ud

Everyone needs to be touched at least once a day or they go mad.

This poem expresses what a simple touch can to do a person, and that is making us breathless :)
