Beauty's Door

I'm inspired to open beauty's door To step outside and let my mind explore, To feel refreshing rain from skies above To internalize nature's gifts of love. Your poetry is what inspires so... Such imagery that sets my heart aglow. You capture life and love within your rhyme In music of your words that's so sublime. Enchantment swells from my impassioned heart From glory that your wondrous words impart. The depth of passion with coherent bliss Lingers in my mind as a cherished kiss. I long to be enfolded by your charms With dreams of being held within your arms, As your desires seem so real to me.... Yet, sure I know those dreams be poetry. 11-15-18 ~First Place~ LATE NOVEMBER ,ANY FORM,ANY THEME,UPTO A MAX OF 20 lines Contest Judged: 11/18/2018 12:08:00 AM Sponsored by: Brian Strand *Dedicated to all romantic Poetry Soup poets

A fave for me too, Connie. Each poet seems to have their own "melody" and yours is so lovely. Being outdoors often inspires me to write, so I can understand the sentiments in your first verse. What a wonderfully upbeat poem! You had me smiling all the way through. Wanted to stop by one more time to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! Love, Carolyn

I am struggling to find words adequate enough for my reactionS; this is so sweet, so Connie and so beautiful. I am touched and I know every other reader will also feel warmth flowing from a sincere heart thru these words. Beautiful couplets! Should be poem of the year. I feel as if I were just hugged in the best possible way, and so happy that it was from my friend.

Dear Connie, This is beautiful, and sweet, and wonderful, and reflects the glorious poet who wrote it. All the best to you, even if I hardly ever feel romantic, so cannot claim even a bit of this beauty.

Beautiful and inspiring poetry, Connie, the poem, is a gem, and the dedication, oozes positivity, as i seem to write mainly dark side of life, i feel guilty somewhat...but to read this, i'll sharpen my pen and try a sonnet or two...
