This is what love is...

 

 

 

This is what love is...

 

 

 

I let her hear my footsteps...

drizzle gleams in big city lights

Her perfume a’ drench my senses

Peering off from this balcony

into the vast cavern of sleeping buildings,

does she think of me…

 

She feels me…closer…her red dress

against the dark backdrop of

dreary skies silhouettes her beauty,

a poem waiting to be read,

a song you can’t get out of your head

or would want to

 

I place my arms about her waist,

she turns, ruby lips infectious,

eyes hiding her story find mine,

rain like diamond tear drops

decorate her cheeks as she smiles

and my heart is flooded with light

 

We embrace, damp passionate lips

lock in haunting silence,

speaking louder than any words...

All that was cold becomes warm

as moisture seeps, painting my skin,

and I don’t care

 

This is what love is…

a hot cup of coffee on a frigid winter day,

a cool breeze in the middle of August,

a beautiful fragrant rose

blooming from a crack in the asphalt

on that long, endless highway of life…and she is mine

and she is mine - isn't bliss when that can be said with this voice of confidence?

"damp passionate lips" - lovey images is where this consists. makes me jealous.

online dating sites... here i come lol

Beware of those dating sites my friend...they brag about how many marriages they produce...you wouldn't want to get caught up in that mess. :) Thanks so much my friend.
