Face To Face

awoken yet still dreamy i float towards the window by which i wait by which i dream peering through the fog of reality i think of you how I love you face to face peer through those incredible eyes you expose only to me completely transparent deep as you are; gifted, singularly unique the sound of your voice more intriguing wind - tiptoes the dense forest greens the flutter of the one butterfly’s wings caressing the jade blue of the morning sky my name flying from you like angels playing their golden harps crave Destiny’s Child “Say my name, say my name” their music bouncing around in my head as i wallow in the true of you i love you face to face your fresh out of the shower complexion my eyes are yours surely all of nature embodies you and i must be made of steel you the magnet draws the beat of my heart breaking through my ribs to sync with yours face to face enrobed in your thick locks my fingers mapping every strand bury myself in its scent found in the meld of us i love you face to face

This is as beautiful as any of the best Valentine's Day poems I have ever read... with an extra layer of depth. Lovely imagery, Maurice. Love it.

It reads to me as if you're in love Maurice, a very richly described piece of emotion flowing through the readers senses, well done; very well done may I add.'

WoW! Armand, This is soooo romantic. I enjoyed it from start to finish. It was just breathtaking. It could be a "card" that someone gives to that "someone" special. It's going straight into my favs:-) Alexis
