Forever In Your Eyes

F lames glimmered when our eyes first met O ver coffee, pies, for a casual date, R eveling at the gala of stars where E very gaze, a turn, kept us in brewed delight . V ibrantly, more fond moments unfurled, E nchanting this budding ember of love to R eel, to savor gaiety I never knew before. I n my heart, I became free of thought N estled in your safe arms , that oh gently Y earning for days quenched my hunger as O utpour of affection warmed all nights because U nder grey of clouds, I was softly cradled R efreshed by laughter …even in heavy rain, E bbing on kisses beneath trees …how I pondered; Y es, when you sipped that coffee with relish, such E ndearment of this day was destiny fulfilled, as my S oul climbed into your breath and lingered there. Ever. A John Hamilton Contest: Forever in your eyes 7..23..2016

"Soul climbed into your breath and lingered" that one line vaulted you into top 2, although the rest of the poem was well crafted also. Congrats Nette for your fine placement.

This is love at first bite, first sip - "when you sipped that coffee with relish." Yes. It happens this way too. The poem suggests a more than physical impetus. Love it. Love, Dave

I'm not a fan of acrostic poetry, I find it tends to be stiff, having said that this poem is free and warm inviting the reader in with your skill..good luck in the contest

Holy Maloney! When a gentle encounter grows into pure romance and love, that's incredible. Ace of a poem reeling of passion though done with soft undercurrents-- genius!
