Lost in Romance

I dream to be

the consummate thought

that arches his brow,

 

 

the syllables of words

that lie in wait upon his tongue,

 

 

the heart that beats

in absolute symmetry with his,

 

 

the one he holds

forever in dance…

 

 

lost in romance.

That is the nicest comment on a comment I have ever read! :) I would love to take one of your poems and make a blanket with it so I could wrap myself in your words, and another on my pillow so I could lay my head on some of your beautiful writings! :)

To dream of being lost in romance - I'm sure we've all been there before haha.
"the heart that beats in absolute symmetry with his" - love these lines, made me think of something that I always think is cute. When you are laying beside your love and you try to match your breaths with theirs [or they match theirs with yours].
Awesome piece Kelly! :]

[Kelly Scheppers]

[GreenEyedPoet]

Two souls in love and in perfect harmony is all we ever dream of, definitely! But it surely takes great effort to be in sync, though it doesn't have to feel like a chore...it can be effortless if we truly want it to be!

...thank you, Nadia!
