two steps

ah, romance

“rose goddess of twilight” by dan leasure

you paint my world with your colors

while the moon paints the lawn a glistening silver

and it’s all reflected in your eyes

you whisper sweet words

i listen intently

you are like a lilting serenade

wrapping your voice around my shoulders

you are like a fine wine

intoxicating my life

it’s all so clear, mon amour

i will drink from your chalice

till two steps past midnight

            two steps towards forever

Two steps forward forever...now that is a promise. The beauty of this piece encompasses the colors you've plucked from nature and wrapped in a bow of unbridled love. Your poems are romantic but there is always an underlying layer of love that is deep, vast and eternal.

After 38 years of marriage, the love is deep...and I thank you for recognizing that in my poetry, Blue. I appreciate your review very much. Lydi**

A classic Lydi romantic gem. Your velvety words are soothing to the heart and soul. Poetry doesn't get any purer than this, my friend. Absolutely mesmerizing!

This is too romantic, Lydi. So beautiful. Only people in love can make romantic poems. I hope I can make one... once again. One that's not just a review of the past.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece.

I hope romance comes into your life again, Dh....you are right, those who are not in love can not really write about it. I so appreciate your review. Lydi**

A gorgeous slice of romantic ecstasy. I love the image of wrapping one's voice around your shoulders, and the last few lines close it out perfectly, restoring some of my faith in romance in the process haha Wonderful work Lydi :)
