When Eyes Close

The following poem is a personal one, a memory from decades ago about a specific person and time in my life. It's a memory I cherish so having so many people find the emotion and impact in the lines was quite a blessing to me. That it made POTD is something I embrace with a great deal of appreciation and gratitude. Close my eyes ~ I’m on that mountain lush with Autumn taste. Close my eyes ~ We are love entwined in crisp fall leafed lace. Close my eyes ~ Lips of first perfect kiss, once more bliss moist my lips Close my eyes ~ We are young again, connecting eyes, souls and skin Close my eyes ~ Sharply, my satin-sad edged truths wonder if autumn ever takes you … too … Close your eyes ~ Kiss me with eager touch. As fire’s savior, thrill to shivers in dew soft, mountain air. Caress-wrapped, we lay in misty vapor from dusk’s bursting promise of brazen flush until dawn’s fresh sonnet on takings rush. Close your eyes ~ Grasp our hearts of innocent stares watching how teenage summer dies when feelings are autumn implied Richard Lamoureux - POTD OR POTW Contest March 9, 2017
