So Sudden and So Sweet

Soft from the night and lovely for the day

I turn to you

as mist would rise towards the dawn

in mornings first glimpse of the sun

 

You touch me

as sunlight would touch a bed of roses,

so sudden and so sweet

 

And I am warmed by the beam of light

that could not play without the tenderness of your eyes

the joy of your spirit

 

I am yours…you are mine…

                                                       soft and lovely

Julie, I watched a show on TV a long time ago that showed, using time-lapse photography, a rose as it began from a bud and then bloomed into full flower; I got the feeling that I was seeing something eerily similar as I read this lovely piece. You mention a 'mist,' while I recall dew drops on the buds as they opened. Such a serene and tranquil vision, love in full bloom. Outstanding imagery in use here. Bravo!! take care...dan

Jewel,

You celebrate the words of romance like a princess in the throngs of joys only song.

Profoundly romantic fare that virtually radiates loveliness.
The sensuality you create, Jewel, always seems to be more beautiful than gritty, more spiritual than carnal.
Sublime poetry most refreshing, most gratifying!

dear Julie ... soft and tender is your pen...
"touching as sunlight would touch a bed of roses,
so sudden and sweet..." is a beautiful expression.
truly... Pat

Romance described in the beautiful metaphor of the rising morning sun and written in silk.

[MsJewel]

Thank you my sweet friend. I miss reading your gorgeous poetry. When are you going to start posting again?

[Stonz P.]

I must admit, I suck at romance and this is just too damn good.
It lingers in my mind..
I decided after reading 'Silent Dawn' to read your pieces one at a time with appropriate intervals.
This is the second I've read and will be sticking to the regime to fully appreciate your efforts. The least I can do; there is again nothing to critique about again. I enjoyed this immensely, Julie.

[MsJewel]

You are very kind. I'm thrilled you enjoy my romantic scribbles (as I call them). Thanks so much :) Julie
