I have tasted sweet life

 

I have tasted sweet life

 

I have tasted sweet life,

of all that lives and breathes,

you fill my heart with summer blends,

cool and calm,

tempting as any

dream could create…

nothing else does matter

 

Days seem adrift

along lonely seas

when by my side you do not stand

As if the world,

my world, disappears

into the mist lingering as it waits

for but your sweet kiss…

to return on the coming tide to me

 

When night falls

and showers darkness,

I see a light, shimmering deep within my heart,

for this is where your love

forever shall reside,

within reach of my wanting fingertips

crying for your skin…

to rest upon my own

 

Fragrance sweet, aromatic

flavored by delicate smiles,

genuine laughter,

touches softer than is possible

upon me, over me…on me,

for my days of fear

shall never find me again…

 

I have tasted sweet life, (and it is you)

You're welcome, Jack.

Woo, this is a frisky one with a forlorn tang to it.

crying for your skin…
to rest upon my own

That sent a shiver down my spine, a good one of course, and that last verse is my favorite, actually I love the entire write.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much my wonderful friend. My thoughts seem to be a bit scattered these days so I bring a mix of happiness and sadness to the pages. I am so thrilled you liked this and any time I can send shivers down your spine is a good day for me.

[Frieda P]

I've noticed that, to me, that makes for the best poetry, which you've proven here my friend.

[Blue Ivory]

It's beautiful and romantic.

[Jack...]

Thank you my friend.

Another swooner poem from the king of swoon. That should be your screen name. "The King of Swoon." That would be so cool.

[Jack...]

Thanks man, I'll think about that.

[redflutterby]

Sigh....such breathtaking lines! I felt like I was floating as I read this. This is what a woman longs to be to her love. ;-)

[Jack...]

Thanks so much sweet Red. I always enjoy hearing from you.

[Astro]

Really nice ode to your love. Again I read wonderful descriptions of the sea in your poem. I think you must not only be fond, but quite familiar. There was one set of lines with which, as a suggestion, should you ever think of revising it, I thought stumble a bit in their reading but not at all in their meaning.
"for but your sweet kiss…
to return on the coming tide to me"

It does little harm to the poem itself, I was just halted a bit in my reading and hence my suggestion about it's affect with regards to flow.

Still another beautiful piece though my friend.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Astro, I appreciate the suggestions.

[Astro]

Welcome as always, great stuff.

[Emerald Seas]

Third stanza is... fabulous. That's a weak descriptor. Loved it! You manage to weave the romantic poem with a classy tone that delivers each and every time - whether it is a sad longing, or a hopeful love presented, you deliver. Excellent, my friend.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much sweet Sera. I wake this morning smiling because of your kind words.

[Emerald Seas]

:)

[Jack...]

Good, I see I'm not the only one smiling
