Whisper me a kiss…

"The Kiss" by Klimt

Whisper me a kiss…

Softly… softly brushing my cheek

As an - Oh! - so delicate caress…

A gentle kiss upon my fingertips,

So healing in its tenderness…

Breathing your kiss upon my mouth,

You softly whisper me a kiss…

Oh! Whisper me a kiss…

In your sweet breath is the promise

Wafting me gently to a healing space

This oft tossed ship carried ‘pon your breath

Oh! Let me harbor in your embrace!

Oh love… again… whisper me a kiss…

Set us free to sail ‘cross time and space.

Oh! Again… Whisper me a kiss…

In your arms, the promise of forever…

Shining as stars in your ebony eyes

Come my love, tomorrow’s our dawn…

Floating free as the star flies 

Our love, the vessel… you, my tether…

On whispered kisses, together we’ll rise.

Softly… Softly… Whisper me a kiss…

I love romantic poetry and this is breathtaking..
"whisper me a kiss" ... so soft, so sweet, so filled with passion without going over that fine line from sensual to erotic....and the painting you chose is the perfect compliment to your gorgeous poem.
Stunning!

Thank you so much. From you, this is high praise indeed.

[Jennie Baron]

I couldn't pass this one up just because of the title! Those of us fortunate enough to have someone who kisses us wonderfully and often can definitely relate. Wonderful writing, MomZ! I don't know if I can say it better than Benita did below.

[MomzillaNC]

Thanks so much. I've actually made this a companion piece in the final draft of "The Dance Plays On…"

[maria ( rose)]

ahh this piece is just amazing. I absolutely adore it and your beautiful mind. Great work♥Keep it up !!!

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you so much. This is really just my attempt to pen a way my husband has when he kisses me.

[maria ( rose)]

aww that is lovely :) your welcome and I'll see you again..

[Sanjh]

It's beautiful. You've penned an intimate moment perfectly here.
Thank you for sharing...:)

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you.

[Confuser]

Quite lovely, you are a great poet. Love is tricky thing to write about. You do it so well.

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you. This is actually my meager attempt to set to words this way my husband has when he kisses me sometimes.

[Confuser]

That's sweet. I actually tried to change my profile - wrote something quickly - to put married. Anyway...it's lovely.

[MomzillaNC]

Thanks. :D

[Confuser]

Y/W Guten Tag!

[Confuser]

MomzillaNC, I cannot believe I forgot this! How beautiful.

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you very much.

[Confuser]

You are so very welcome; Seriously, I saw it on the feed; my brain is so rusty; this blew me away. Wow. I cannot write like that; I know that and it is alright. How's the book coming? Let me know when you have time. And send me some RR - I'll get to your first book soon, I promise. Dale

[MomzillaNC]

The book is published on Kindle and available on Amazon.com. Just type in "Dianaty"

I only rarely send out RRs. I find I get plenty of reviews by surfers.

It's probably just me, but I feel are more helpful -- my primary need for reviews is the learn if there's any interest for my work without seeking it. Thanks.

[MomzillaNC]

By the way, as for you writing like this… well, your own poetic voice is quite lovely. Why would you want to write like anyone else. I truly believe this one only strikes a chord with so many of my very kind readers because this is a real and true experience from my own life.

[Confuser]

Oh, Momzilla, I sighed; you know how you get that feeling of peace; just amazing; and when I was scrolling down, I was sad; thought it ended, then I'm up again happy but still so happy; anyway; I'm such a corny sentimental type and I love this! You are kind to compliment; but I could never write like that; and that's what I LOVE!!! This is just my hobby, but I try!! W/O you and Richard encouraging me, I never would have continued. I owe you guys a lot. Thank you. I hope you and yours have a wonderful blessed weekend. That poem made my day. Library time MomzillaNC!

[J Otero]

What a beautiful way to express such an intimate moment between two people truly in love.

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you so much.

[Eleanor]

Elegant, tender and beautiful work.
I like the way you make the reader feel each word :)
Speaks about "true love" really nicely. Speaks about the pureness and romance between 2 people.

[MomzillaNC]

Thanks so much.

[Tina Kline]

A very tender and beautiful poem.
So romantic. I think you did a splendid job on this poem.

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you. I just wanted to capture this way my husband has sometimes when we kiss.

[Tina Kline]

You welcome.

[David Scott]

This is how my spirit longs to be felt...
Gently yet powerfully and profoundly.
I like the "feel" of your words.
You open the poem like like leaves fluttering up into the breeze.
I enjoyed the experience of your poetry.

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you so much. I'm honored that you found such meaning in my words. I can only say that I wrote the truth of the experience; this is a way my husband has when he kisses me.

[David Scott]

Perfect! I'm glad you know this experience in your life! :)
I think my wife would same the same.

[MomzillaNC]

She's a lucky lady then. This poem and "Shariara's Lament" are companion pieces to my short story, "The Dance Plays On…" The main characters, Shariara and Sarvazad, are loosely based on my husband and myself (in the way they are together and the love they share).

[Dean]

I especially like the title...the poem itself is rather grandiose but certainly acceptable

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you. The poem is the truest representation I could craft of the way my husband kisses me.

[Kat Leila]

This was truly lovely...ohhh to be kissed like this!

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you. This is actually about my husband and a way he has when he kisses me. It's become a companion piece to my short story, "The Dance Plays On…" The tragic lovers in it are loosely based on my husband and I (in the way we are together, not in the tragedy). The lyrics, "Shariara's Lament" was the inspiration for the short story.

[MomzillaNC]

Sorry, that should have been, "My husband and [me]…"

[Kat Leila]

He is blessed to have such a lovely poem dedicated to his kiss!

[MomzillaNC]

I'm blessed to have a man so gentle and loving.
