One More Time

To taste your kiss just one more time, and feel the fire of long ago that fueled the rhythm and the rhyme of poetry in love’s sweet glow beneath the moon on summer nights, that only love struck lovers know. And in the shadows, dim of lights, to once again feel your embrace that lifts me up to higher heights and takes me to another place with fantasies becoming real beneath the veil of midnight’s lace. These tender thoughts which I reveal are showing passion’s paradigm. Your tenderness I long to feel, recalling days when in our prime, and taste your kiss just one more time. July 20, 2023

A gorgeous, romantic poem John with beautiful sentiments. You have captured longing so well. I love the line, ‘that fuelled the rhythm and the rhyme’.As I was reading it, it struck me as being like a Shakespearean sonnet. Great skill. Impressive! I can so easily relate to this poem and thus- one of my fav’s.Thank you for sharing.
