Heaven Tonight

  

Silently I stand… Mesmerized

 

By the vision that holds my heart.

 

Watching the crackling embers

Softly bringing out the glow

In those baby-blue eyes

 

Sincere… like I was looking into a clear sky.

 

As I close in the distance

Till we are as close…as our hearts

 

Remember nothing could be closer…

 

I study every feature of her face

That illuminates my existence

Like a full moon captures the midnight sky.

 

As I hand her a delightful cup

Of steaming chocolate bliss

Our hands brush … like a feather

 

That single touch, so quick...

Like a New York minute

Yet the heat from the candle of her humanity

Melts the abuse Jack Frost has placed upon my flesh.

 

Cradled together I feel…

As cozy as an infant,

Hearing the rock-a-bye song.

 

Mild conversation…

 

Every word she says…

Is intellectual stimulation…

 

Foreplay in my mind…

Leaving my thoughts breathless,

With out the need to catch it.

 

Sitting here now I wonder,

 

If I really died the day we met...

Or was I revived?

 

It's plain to see I’m in heaven tonight

 

Because I never felt more alive.

Sigh, Why did this have to end? It's just like drinking hot chocolate as well. When you get to the every last of it, and you savor up the last sip, you wish you had more. This was super yummy and heart warming on a cold Canadian winter day!

beautifully written...

I have a feeling the end of this delicious poem is just the beginning of what is to come...
Your character is completely and utterly smitten ...
Reading this gave me goose bumps, though Jack Frost had me puzzled at first ... There is this very enjoyable British detective series called 'Frost' about a grumpy but funny detective called ... Jack Frost!

Absolutely beautiful, sincere and loving and warm. You've got quite a way with words Mr. Cowboy.

Some of your lines and phrases just grab me, like Jack frost abusing your skin, that was a great line. Its full of love and admiration for the one you speak of: and i admire in a person when they know they are lucky to have someone so special, and you portrayed this in your piece. An admirable write and a beautiful read. Top marks.
