Taste of You

The bond between us
does not quite speak to the stars
as precious carvings
but as seeds of happiness.
Here you see me in thought
rearranging reflections inside a message
held in glass.

Far away I hold my breath
then let it out to chase dream-filled sleep.  
Soft sighs escape
streaming through the night
in shells of kisses
moving ultimately to form this lovely
smile I keep.

Quivering inside my dreams
are elaborate colors
that dance on my tongue.
I taste them as whispers of you.
The bond between us does not quite
speak to the stars, but here
in my dreams is sung.

Neva, I really like this one, especially the lines I copied below... They could be a poem by themselves.

This poem gave me a feeling of everlasting love. This love is not made up of some token gesture of a perfect moment that was surrounded by god-knows-what in the life of a relationship, but a bond that can only get better with time. This seemed to be the love of a lifetime and this is just the beginning. You've given me the jitters of what it is to feel the future's arrival of heaven on earth.

The taste of love...you describe this beautifully! I have too many favorite lines to quote them all!

[Joe Shetina]

This inspired to write a poem and I almost forgot to review it. :)

lovely neva..it speaks of group or in this case twin souls...

[SoulCrusader (Yas)]

So beautiful I really marvel at your use of words very brilliant indeed :)

[Jibey]

So often you achieve a stunning effect with the repetition of a haunting phrase... as here - and the 'quivering inside my dreams' made me quiver too... :-)

Beautiful poem...I like the picture too... :)))

Every line a thought, a story a world. I saved this to read and am glad I did. Perfection does not sum it up, but it'll do until they create a new word for it.

This very beautiful my favorite part is the third stanza

Far away I hold my breath
then let it out to chase dream- filled sleep
Soft sighs escape
streaming through the night
in shells of kisses
moving ultimately to form this lovely
smile I keep

Yes beautiful is an apt description for this poem!!
