even now

your kisses brought the blush

back to my cheeks

my kisses tattooed your soul

your words refilled

the empty ewer inside me

through imagery and metaphor

we brought parts of us to life

parts we never really knew

yes, we were alive together 

more alive than we are apart

and even now

i think of you as  my

”happily ever after”

"yes, we were alive together
more alive than we are apart"
As someone who has just gone through a breakup, all these romantic poems break my heart over and over again. Yet somehow they make me believe in love again. Oh, what a wonderful poem, thank you.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much. You WILL find love again. Make sure you have your eyes open when it passes your path. Lydi**

[Thomas W Case]

Powerful work. You bring the love to the page.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much! Lydi**

[John the Baptist]

As the past tense is used in this one, I get the impression the addressee is no longer in the picture. Still, his presence is powerfully felt, as the last two lines indicate. When feelings have been as deep as those described here, one is never totally in the past.

[Lydia Shutter]

Yes, John, even when people are no longer together, memories and emotions remain. Thanks for the review. Lydi**

[Betty Hermelee]

togetherness is a special bond to last eternally...being alive and laughing, crying, embracing, sensing....this bond seems especially important as it brought back all the emptiness felt....and all the love that was missing...."more alive than apart".....lovely
Warmly, B
