Ticket to Heaven

Inspired by a conversation with Cryingkate (Connie)

 

 

 

Ticket to Heaven

 

 

We drink from the fountain of earthly delights

Sweet to the taste, ever cool to the touch 

Blushing of purity bred in our hearts

Glistened enchantment now needed so much

 

Beneath a rainbow’s curved ribbon effect

Painted in singular motions of love

Rippled reflections bare moonlit disguises

Memories fashioned below and above

 

A ticket to heaven on silver cloud linings

With only the touch of your rose petal lips

Swallowing all that affection does offer

Consuming desire in delicate sips

 

Breathless endeavors of water fall shimmers

Deeper we dwell inside every dream

You in my arms on this aqua blue evening

Illumined in passion, aglow in the gleam

 

Softy your eyes shine eternal devotion

Enchanting your beauty now all I can see  

There is no need for this ticket to heaven

For heaven is anywhere you are with me

such a masterful romance poem, Jack you always hit the mark, all a girl really needs is chocolate, wine and one of your poems to set the mood, In fact, i'd recommend it to anyone, male or female, and I especially appreciated the ending stanza, you never disappoint when it comes to woo-ing a verse.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much my friend. I do appreciate your kindness. Yep, romance is fun...always is, always will be. Happy I could set the mood.

I enjoyed the rhyme within each quatrain. Heaven is truly found within moments. I was inspired to write this tiny poem which you may keep as your own:

String Theory

Beautiful moments dance in a ring
harmonizing each note that they sing
forming Heaven and Earth out of string
from which everything that’s known must spring.

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much. I appreciate your kindness.

Nicely rhymed and such a flow. A bit of spirituality with the perfect amount of romance. Nicely done. ~Jim

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Jim. I appreciate you stopping by today.

That must have been one helluva conversation, pun intended. This is luverly Jack, where does one acquire such said tickets...I'd like to take off sometime soon....Always a beauty from your pen.

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much my friend. It was something Connie said in a comment about a ticket to heaven, so I decided to write it. And if I knew where to get them, I probably wouldn't be here right now. Thanks again for your kind words Frieda.

[Frieda P]
