Intoxicating Autumn Air

Sitting by the beach At the patio Summer days behind us Chatting with my sweetheart Manoeuvring our glass of wine Savoring the cooler vista Reminiscing past adventures Mapping out new excursions Just appreciating each other And loving the way we feel Free and in love Relaxed like the old married couple That we are Comfortable in our silences Content by a touch or a smile Finishing each other’s sentences Enjoying each minute And the sense of humor I fell in love with years ago Toasting to our health And the many years to come Intoxicated with joy The wine and the autumn sun Enjoying the life we’ve created And the people we’ve become In love and still our own selves AP: Honorable Mention 2022 Submitted on September 18, 2017 for contest AUTUMN ROMANCE sponsored by JULIE LEIGH RODEHEAVER - RANKED 3RD

To retain the enchantment of love throughout life is such a blessing. When they know you as well as you know yourself, there becomes a sacred contentment that couples who have been together a long time know so well. You have related this most beautifully in your lovely poem Line! I can relate and I love your entry! Congratulations on your well deserved win! : )

This is just wonderful, Line - I love how you view things, in a rather unexpected but charming way - it's fresh and yet classically romantic, and I enjoyed every moment! Sounds like someone has shared a joyous and romantic life with the right person! Blessings and congrats on this well-deserved win, my friend! :-)
