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

Nostalgic and wonderfully worded. I truly admire your grasp of metaphor that brings a visual life to your work. Another outstanding writing deserving a second read.

“glimmering highlights of whipped cream whispers on wings of stained glass dreams” Not only is the alliteration in this line wonderful, but the image it creates is magical! Nothing as romantic as that first kiss....the electric passion of it! The birds sing, the sun shines, and no one else in the world matters. Heavy sigh! Such a romantic write, Jack. Great one. Lydi**

In it's wholeness, I love this, Jack. you always enlighten the woman, on higher levels, with words.
It takes a strong soul for that, a strong and loving soul, which I never find overdone in the romance, it's just perfect in how it is. Thank you always for bring such art Jack.

In my eyes, women are beautiful, extraordinary and exquisite people who should be cherished and respected. I will always show that side of me in my poetry because it is who I am. Elisa, I can not say how happy I am that you seem to be feeling better and have graced our world again with your beauty. Thank you so very much for your kindness.
