Notes About The Poem

Paris Nights~ by Mark Spain

 

Anywhere

i'm not lonely or lost . .



 . . but when days are long,

maybe too long for me,

my thoughts begin to trace
    



- anywhere you might be -



there are no rest stops,

   only quick glances,

light touches

and tiny kisses



i am lingering in the fragrance of forever

moments so divine,

                   a slow song



longing to caress its magic



your love sends me,

   through tunnels of beauty

      over bridges of pure ecstasy,

to a place of sweet delight




i want to go, anywhere you might be

"i am lingering in the fragrance of forever" and "I want to go, anywhere you might me" are such stunning affirmations of love and devotion. Beautiful write. And I have been to Paris twice, it is the most romantic city I have ever visited.

I have been to so many places in the world- Paris isn't one of them. I sure would like to go. To experience its beauty. Thank you Rob, for reading this little scribble of mine. Your kind words are appreciated. :) Brandy

So elegant. "I want to go anywhere you might be"... a simple wish, nothing overtly dramatic, and yet ... it's sincerity pulls me in, and the simple request becomes all that matters in the end.

With time on the hands, the mind can wander and sometimes wonderful memories come flooding in. Sometimes a great love can almost turn to a vapor. It can turn into a foggy image that eyes can barely see. It can almost seem gone, and yet there is always one strong strand that holds the fabric together. Wonderful work Brandy!

Oh, this is really so divine Brandy! Longing can mean unconditional love. It's a blessed space, not everyone finds themselves in. An outstanding human verse! Thank you Panagiota xx

You are right, feeling love this deeply- and it is unconditional love. To hold someone that close to the heart. Thank you Panagiota for your thoughts. You are appreciated. :) Brandy

A poem of yearning... Sounds like some guy... Small kisses always turn in to big kisses.... The passionate ones are best.... Can I say this is a sensual one?

This is filled with longing, love, romance and passion. You can sprinkle some sensuality in there too. You are right, small kisses lead to big kisses. I like the sweet kisses. Tiny and playful. Always creates the mood. Just sayin'. Thank you Silent One. I appreciate your thoughts. :) Brandy
