Home

lingering softly
in the angelic silence
of a magical new night...

i remember whispered words
the softness of your breath
tingling the nape of my neck...

your eyes deep pools
touch light as a feather
my head on your chest...

the sea scented air
delicately cocooned us
our lips barely touched...

waves lulled our own melody
of sweet sacred tunes
as hearts became one...

i remember the moment
that time stood still...

how do i describe
something bigger than words...

for in the air
that i breathe

it is you
who has blessed me...

heaven sent you
from the stars above...

the sound of your heartbeat
was when i knew...

i

was

home.

Hi Lynn, it's me again. Always loved this poem. Milton made me think about you, not that I need a reason. I have reread many of your poems tonight. They are so emotional. Have you looked at your live laugh love email lately?

I love the way you did this one. I felt the quickening of your heart beat and increase of intensity as the stanzas shortened leading to the defining moment of the last three words.

Loved it Lynn Marie, what a palette of words you have, and your brush strokes amazing! Loved the way you reduce your stanzas from 3 lines to 2 very effective for the reader to savor the flavor of your words!
