Notes About The Poem

Blushing Blossoms

You lay me down beside a bubbling stream
As Spring enchants us in a lover's dream
You hold me as I watch the bubbles dance
The cadence of a song filled with romance

From face you tease away a raven tress
With longing eyes, my body you undress
Your lips touch mine in meeting graced with bliss
I'm lost to all around me, save your kiss

You water me with love, your flower fair
To see me bloom, my petals soft you bare
With gentle touch you go where none has gone
Then taste the honeyed dew your love has won

Like bubbles of the stream, I burst in glee
The blush of love in bloom you wake in me

The mellowness of your words and imagery make this a most romantic sonnet. The final couplet is beautiful. Hugs // paul

Your emotions electrify the intensity of this piece taking the reader confidentially into your thoughts as romantic sexual feelings surface within the reading. Emile.
