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

Very lovely - romantic, flowing, gentle, but with sensuality that makes me shudder! "Kisses At DayBreak" are indeed those to cherish!

as vivid as yesterday
as hopeful as tomorrow
and as tranquil as gentl rain
on an Autumn Daybreak moment -- this was the perfect ending to this piece...sublime in texture and strong in emotion.

To be "hopeful" for tomorrow and to still vividly remember yesterday is all that we can ask for. This is the definition of living in the moment, for me...because we do not regret and we still look forward. A delicately beautiful piece...

[shallimarRose]

Thank You Sarah.. always an honor to see you on my pages.. xo
