Kisses at Daybreak

captured in a daydream

locked inside a moment

soft and scented like the subtle rain

on an Autumn sunrise morning

so effortlessly they came

the kisses at daybreak

holding on to you...

ambrosial moments

with sleepy eyes

that quietly whisper

good morning lover

you turned and opened the window

one last taste of morning mist

in the memory of a kiss

it the hold of a thought

in the power of daydream

kisses at daybreak

like colored moments

hanging in minds gallery

among old sepia's and black and whites 

Memories...  

........funny isn't it?

how some fade with age

while others remain so vibrant

the colors

the scent

the song

the touch

these memories

engraved in the mind

etcheted in the heart

and tattooed on the soul

so divine

"The Kisses at Daybreak"

as vivid as yesterday

as hopeful as tomorrow

and as tranquil as a gentle rain

on  an Autumn Daybreak morning.....

isn't it neat that the most loving memories are often of those kisses held sweetly as day breaks, as the colors, scents, songs and touches linger and never let you go.... yes morning memories that also seize you as the sun sets and the night brings its own hope of tomorrows, even when its all that is left... really enjoyed your poem, thanks.... ~~redzone

As gentle as rain on an Autumn morning is a great description of kisses and memories. Ahh yes there are many memories that stay with us for years and years. I sense a hint of yearning in this poem mixed with an old longing. Great write and I like the delicate feel in this piece.

Ah, I started to pluck a few lines that grabbed me before I finished reading your words. Well, then my my breath caught as I continued to read and I had to abandon the few lines to embrace to whole. Yes, this one is vivid and speaks of heart stirrings and memories so true. Wonderful poem, Rose.

I love the tone. The reflection. The poem is so beautiful Rose. The picture you paint is remarkable. Thank you for the rr. Have an amazing day.

[shallimarRose]

Thank you Sam for reading. You have a nice week also.. Rose

[redflutterby]

Yes it is funny how some memories fade while others are as bright as the moment they were made. Of course often those are the most significant. Beautifully written and deeply romantic... ;-)
