Tingle

 

 

 

 

Tingle

 

Melodies ~ ringing on soft cool winds,

dangling from tiny strings in metallic forms

Swaying in harmony with your smile

reflecting the mid day sun

in glimmering highlights of whipped cream whispers

on wings of stained glass dreams

 

For it was that day you kissed me,

for the very first time ~

(When buttercups blushed as I held them to your chin)

and my lips tingled, unending,

understanding this was more than just a touching of skin,

a melted meeting of two

 

~Music called to us from the branches above,

serenading our hearts in sweet blissful sounds

on soft grasses, fingers intertwined~

 

Your eyes, hypnotized me there, in that place

and you kissed me again…this one held

Passion breathing, love had found me

coiled about me and clung to me

On that day, unlike any other

I could imagine…I fell for you

 

Now as cool winds blow

and leaves cascade in multicolored waves

That wind chime, suspended from that old maple rings,

singing sweetly of that first kiss,

a musical remembrance of that day

of which no reminder needs due ~ for my lips they still tingle

oh this is lovely and speaks of love that has matured - that tingle - yes. When we're old and gray and we look at our love and say 'you still got it." that's great stuff Jack.

Thanks so much Tammy. Hopefully I will make it to old and graysomeday...well at least mature. :)

I soooo agree. I could have use this kind of piece when I was in high school. I may have gotten me a very good looking girlfriend.

[Jack...]

does anybody write love poems better than you? i doubt it.

and a kiss is so special...and your description of and reaction to, amazing. The second stanza is my favorite...yes, a kiss is like that.

Thanks so very much Jacob. That is a huge compliment and I am humbled by it.

There is nothing like the memory of a first kiss with the love of your life... :)

"When buttercups blushed as I held them to your chin" - such a sweet image; love this, Jack!

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Rita. You kind words always thrill me.

[Joyce S. Greene]

A blushing buttercup, how delicious, Jack. You have swept me away on a magic carpet ride to the land of love, accompanied by a tinkling serenade of wind chimes. Another gem, my friend. I applaud you.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much my friend, but there's not as many as it might seem.

[Emerald Seas]

A wonderful look back at those first few moments when the heart is stolen away. First moments of love blossoming are grand. You captured the essence of it all quite wonderfully here, Jack.

[Jack...]

My sweet friend, only your smile is more beautiful than the words you leave for me today. Always, I appreciate you.

[Emerald Seas]

:) Hi Jack, Jack. Thank you - Hope you enjoy your weekend! I'll probably stop in again on Sunday - busy weekend - or so I'm told

Remembering that first kiss is something that we do in life, remembering how in love we were, how good it was and how amazing you felt. You have written this so beautifully and take me on this incredible journey when you write. Your writes are always so real.

"Your eyes, hypnotized me there, in that place
and you kissed me again…this one held
Passion breathing, love had found me
coiled about me and clung to me"

-- Amazing as ever, I loved these lines Jack.

You'll always be my Jackomantic.

Sweet Noodle, your caring words always bring a smile to my face. Thank you for your friendship.
