And my smile grows...of you

Just thinking of her.

And my smile grows…of you

 

when clouded days appear

yet still I find sunshine is brightly filling each corner of my heart

glowing with every thought that illumines me… of you

 

“Your light finds me through a the dense charcoal mist”

 

When winds blow a’ gusty scattering of dust,

as I find the air sweet as magnolia petals saved in my pocket,

bring me the unforgettable fragrance… of you

 

“The sweet breath of your nature flows over me”

 

when soaring heat batters my crimson skin

but the cool breeze of love soothes my sunburned shoulders

in affections softly flowing from the fingertips...of you

 

“Cool spring zephyrs wrap your love about my body”

 

when I sit in a darkened space, alone with only my dreams

and a teardrop finds my cheek in a glistened falling line

happily, as I relive each eternal memory…of you

 

“And my smile grows…of you”

Very acute rendition of human emotions. The thought of someone, something, somewhere gracing the mind and peeling back the lips and producing a smile. Nice one Jack.

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much my good friend. You do humble me with your gracious reviews.

Stop. Just stop. You're throwing my angsty hater groove. (beware, the groove) This is lovely, Jack. Another sparkle on the water - calm and gentle - tugging at my angsty little heart.

[Jack...]

Let's hope it takes that angst far away from your heart.

Beautifully penned as always

Thanks so much my friend.

Imaginative indeed, using all the pleasantries of nature to remind that person of their sweet love, the petals within their pocket and the fragrance they exude was a particular creative thought !

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Tom. I appreciate you taking the time to read and review my poem.

Jack your eloquent manner of writing never ceases to amaze me. This peace touched me in so many ways. It flows effortlessly like the breeze through Jasmine leaves. I love the form you used with the lines in italics. Just gorgeous. Again my heart falls victim to a poem.. heavy sigh. I am telling you.... A book!!!
Romance and Intrigue from the heart of Jack-o-mantic as Noodle head puts it.. lol xoxo Rose

Melancholy lacy nostalgia throughout this poem. Is it for a family member? A lover? Or perhaps this is for the season...summer....with its heat and cool breezes. While the entire poem is gorgeous, these lines hit me, Jack, "I find the air sweet as magnolia petals saved in my pocket,bring me the unforgettable fragrance… of you" You've touched on all the senses in this sweet write. Bravo. Lydi**

"when soaring heat batters my crimson skin

but the cool breeze of love soothes my sunburned shoulders

in affections softly flowing from the fingertips...of you"~ This is a delightful work of art, Jack!

You have painted another gorgeous piece... it's the touch of a tender heart, which flows softly... (sigh)~xoxo~:)
