Gershon Wolf Poet Romanticism

Lips Gently Merging

The sky was blue, as deep-blue as the sea
   The grass fresh, and as green as you please
The air redolent of honeysuckle and vine
   Your lips as inviting as a full, rich red wine

The rains crept up softly, the sky hadn't darkened
   Nor to thunder's voice had the two of us hearkened
Held fast by the dreamy look in each other's eyes
   Two lovers in love, mesmerized, hypnotized … 

As we moved ever closer, our lips gently merging
   The rain beat against us, our sweet union urging ---
And when the skies parted, bright sunshine burst through 
   Nestling in the arc of love's rainbow, imbued with her hues

Jan Allison December 23, 2018 at 6:30 AM ooh how romantic Gershon, I struggle with writing romance, I much prefer humour:-) hugs Jan xx Gershon Wolf December 23, 2018 at 2:53 PM Actually, I do too, but since I'm supposed to be 'a poet' or something, I throw a romantic one in the mix once in a while. LOL. Always appreciate your support. Happy Holidays! ~ Gershon

Carolyn Devonshire December 22, 2018 at 10:23 PM It's amazing how we can tune the world out, even when rain is falling upon us, because we are with the one we love. Such pleasant memories your poem evokes, Gershon. Congratulations on your win in Brian's contest, Carolyn Gershon Wolf December 23, 2018 at 2:52 PM Much appreciated, Carolyn! :) gw

Michelle Faulkner December 1, 2018 at 7:40 PM Romantic and thrilling - another gem! Gershon Wolf December 1, 2018 at 8:57 PM How much do I owe you! No. To reword this: How much I owe you! Thank you for your continued encouragement and support, Michelle. It means so much to me. Season's best! ~ Gershon

Chris Green November 30, 2018 at 10:08 AM Attention all Soupers. There is a new king of love poetry on the site!!!!! Loved this one my friend. Gershon Wolf November 30, 2018 at 12:19 PM Very generous of you, my dear friend. I'll only accept this title: PIT (Prince-In-Training)...btw: You are my role model for romantic writes, Your Highness … another btw: Have you checked out Vladislav Raven's poetry? He's truly quite 'the Prince' of Romanticism... Thank you again, Chris. Truly, I can't thank you enough, for all of your support and encouragement. Blessings, Gershon
