In the Silence

~ a romantic scribble ~

~~~

When faith was lost, hope like raindrops fell

upon the stillness of a moonless night

and stars that once trembled with romance

dimmed within the shadows of a dream

 

Yet it was this dream that made you mine

as somehow through the silence you found me

You praised me with your eyes, your touch, your love

fanned by a healing wind ‘pon beauty torn

 

With cheeks afire, aflame within my heart

the taste so sweet, your kiss upon my lips

I held you to my breast, a vision warm

‘til all lay golden in the wake of dawn

 

It was your love, though never mine to keep

flowing through my veins, when hope was found

in the stillness of a moonless night

in the silence of a lovely kiss

Wonderful poetry for love dear Julie.
"With cheeks afire, aflame within my heart
the taste so sweet, your kiss upon my lips
I held you to my breast, a vision warm
‘til all lay golden in the wake of dawn"
I liked the above lines. Left the reader with good place and vision. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Sweet artwork, Julie … such a lovely, fetching presentation to embrace the mind's-eye right off.
Then, the poetry … yes, indeed, how it stole me into its moment, its effulgent warmth and romantically sensual nuances — so deeply stirring to the senses.
Makes one wish it were composed only for them … but ahhh, such is the magic of a loving, affectionate pen in the hand of a knowing lady-poet.
Sweet, tender, dreams that flow through the entire being of a reader, makes of this a virtual masterpiece of alluring desire, how can I give it less than the measly 100 allotted, when it deserves so much more!
There are so many lines and verses that touch so gently warm, how can I single one from the other … still, whom could resist:
"With cheeks afire, aflame within my heart
the taste so sweet, your kiss upon my lips
I held you to my breast, a vision warm
‘til all lay golden in the wake of dawn"

Goodness-ME, Juie … I love it, M'Lady! ⁓ Richard

I ponder on the words of the poem,
and hesitate briefly to remember the love of the poet, and realize that one can not write a poem such as this without living it.
You bring love and longing to life with your poetry.

So nice to read you. I miss you terribly.

Romantic to a fault written in shallow breaths and sighs of contentment Julie.

You are very kind John. Thank you :) Julie

There is my queen of the "sighs" filling my heart with the delight of her romantic verses.

Hey Cowboy. It's always lovely to see you! Julie

Words such as moonless night and gold used in the poem gave me the image of the poem and the feeling. Great job! Also I was wondering can you take the time to read and leave a review on my story.
