One Enchanted Evening

I appreciate Mr. Richard Rogers for inspiring this title and for all those who sang the song "Some Enchanted Evening" :)

One Enchanted Evening

a dory small 

two   -   still fishing 

quieting their universal substance

so to understand the fueling  

of red wine as 

bold and joyful as blushing cheeks

a certain apprehensive bliss

where thoughts become thin white wisps 

melting into the blue drifting twilight

lapping ocean sighing

two oars tapping 

into the hinterlands

"where thoughts become thin white wisps
melting into the blue drifting twilight"

Your magic with words make even yet another poem about Love straight for the number one star, dear friend. My senses here to there, have numbed me by the gentle charm and passion in your phrasing So, all, I can do is quote some of your poem as an enormous thank you for sharing..

'... understand the fueling
of red wine as
bold and joyful as blushing cheeks
a certain apprehensive bliss

where thoughts become thin white wisps
melting into the blue drifting twilight.. '

Blissfully beautiful :)

Yay, a new write from sir Noodle, that thankfully is not his epitaph, which it no doubt would have been if I had written about drinking in a boat, but hey,, we all take risks we shouldn't. It is called life and can be brutal, whether on dry land or bobbing around a bit on a lake, sea, ocean or quite a big puddle!
Your words E, as ever resonates with this landlubber, reminding of the feeling I get if I've had a cheeky coffee in my brandy, or should that be... Na, I'm almost quite certain it's right as it is, hic! 😊
It does sound like a most excellent way to fall asleep though, just as long as you don't wake up to pee in the middle of the night and realise too late that the bathroom isn't... Splosh! 😊
Hope you are well and say woof to your tiny little waggly from me too 😊

[Einstein Noodle]

thanks for the fine larf i am having reading your review .. yes .. a wee touch of coffee in brandy or Jamison is a nice edge to fall off of .. as long as we have the padding to keep us safe .. i always appreciate your visits Sir Lorry .. i have been silent quite a while, it is true .. but hey ... who can move the Muse .. not i! love on ya brother

She's not been talking to me either for some unfathomable reason. I mean, I'm pretty sure we never dated and can think of no other reason for her taking the huff for so long 😊

[Ayvid N]

In a blue twilight, with a sighing ocean, a quiet universe of two, thoughts lazily drifting.
A bliss is felt in the togetherness and an anticipation fills the air with many things unsaid.
I took in the words, slowly, visualized the enchanting evening and I loved it, dear E!

[Einstein Noodle]

thank you so much for "getting into" this scene .. ahhhhhhh love is a many splendored thing isn't it .. even through our pain ..hugs
E.

[Ayvid N]

Yes, it is. As we grow older, we tend to be drawn more to the cheery side of it. I have forgotten how to weep or mope in love. I hope you're having a wonderful day, dear E. :)

As I sit here imbibing a glass of dry red, I can related to this poem. Can't say I have achieved "a certain apprehensive bliss," but I do feel quite mellow, and that's good enough for me. Think I'll have another one in a while.

[Einstein Noodle]

isn't it amazing what we can find in an uncorked bottle of red?! thanks for taking time here on my pages .. here at the Cafe

Truly an enchanted evening. Two lovers adrift in the sea...moonlight shining on them. Wispy clouds drifting just as the couple's thoughts are. Ah, wine, to make it more relaxed. Just a dreamy write, E. Loved the Temptations version of this song. I had not heard it before. Sherry surely will cherish this poem. Lydi**
