If You Were Mine

If you were mine... 

If you were mine…our footsteps would   

dance on moonlit verandas
while candle lit shimmers enticed my smiled reflections
with your arms tightly around me

symphonies would play to the rhythm of your charm
as we swayed in the essence of forever
on cloud soft concertos of affection’s melodic whispers

eternal echoes would sing in harmony to your eyes,
hauntingly dark invitations to my endless destination,
soothing seductions comforting weathered longings 

If you were mine…satin beaches would 

eclipse tan line passions
beneath glistening waves of aquamarine salt water bliss
gently caressing the depth of our love

palm leaf shadows would weave embracing patterns
of ocean fed breezes tickling our naked forms
as sea foam fingers probe pearl smooth valleys

sunset tides would tease beneath star orchid heavens
blooming of every wished for fantasy…
lasting happily ever after upon sandcastles dreams

If you were mine…my world would 

be a mosaic of delirious euphoric visions
in constant creative motion delivering sincerely
every ounce of joy your heart could desire

each sunrise would be the sweet essence of your spirit
vibrant in wonders of colorful poetic offerings
versed in accordance with your every need

happiness would begin with promises kept
as we walked along endless streams of hand held blessings,
two hearts loving as one forevermore 

If you were mine…oh, if you were mine

Good night Soupers

I do not write free verse well at all but you seem to do it so creatively and effortlessly Chris, as with this romantic piece. If only everyone could find the happiness of "two hearts loving as one forevermore" !

Phew! Chris that's romantic and the temperature went up a few degrees - A magnificently sensual and a delicately handled portrayal of an amorously 'explosive' situation...Maria

Wow! Chris, Each line and every word was amazing. It was capitivaing, mesmerizing and so darn romantic. The repeated use of the line "If you were mine" took an already great piece to another level. Excellent job my friend:-) Alexis PS, you sure have a fantastic way of saying goodnight!

Owww Chris! So many lines there I would love to quote. I'll just quote this: "palm leaf shadows would weave embracing patterns // of ocean fed breezes tickling our naked forms // as sea foam fingers probe pearl smooth valleys" And the way you have composed this: 3x3 stanzas, with intro and coda ;) Another fave, my talented friend.
