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

I wanted to give you a proper review.

This is beauty Jackomantic and if I could I would print it out and hang it on my wall so I could read it forever and ever. Your poetry takes me to another world, a place where everything is so caring and loving and perfect - I never wanna leave my friend. Don't ever stop writing for that is the day I will need to drown my sorrows. You're my favourite poet ever, my friend. Forever and always.

Truely beautiful.

Wow Sye, you just took my breath away with your review. Thank you so very much for your friendship and your kindness. You are far to good to me. All I try to do is make people happy and make them feel with my poetry, but my friend, you have done this to me with your beautiful comments today.

My sweet, sweet friend, just keep writing and smiling and the sun on my side will always be shining - and remember, I am always here for you. :)

[Jack...]

Sye, I'm going to have to hire you just to send RR's out on my poetry. Thanks for all you do for me.

[s y e]

I'll do it any time my friend, aha.

You’ve shown through this poem how love is a many splendid thing. Love is the main survival trait of higher intelligent life-forms. It’s not logical for an intelligent life-form to continue to exist if it lacks an emotional drive. Above all else, we exist to love. We are the evolution of love within our cold logical universe.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much for taking the time to read and comment on my peorty. I really do appreciate it, I know you didn't have to.

Love is so many things...not always big ones but small miracles...

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Marie.
