James Marshall Goff Poet Free verse

Our Love Forever Sweet

The bitter icicle wind pierces the words "I love you"
                 Before they reach your opal ears

In a dream we laugh! and tumble in long grasses;
Your hair, brushing my face, your scent
                  Flushing my heart

Pausing, we each gather honeysuckle blossoms
Playfully guiding the stems to each other's lips
Nibbling sweet nectar as our lips melt together

                          Gently
We awake      entwined in each other's arms

                          Our Love
                      Forever Sweet

Brandy Nicole February 13, 2022 at 1:26 PM This thought is very exciting and so inviting. "Playfully guiding the stems to each other's lips" Such a moment leaves one breathless and in bliss. Your words are beautiful, sensual, romantic and dreamy, all at the same time. My heart is fluttering. This should be printed and framed, so it can be read over and over again. Congratulations James, on Poem of the Week. My best to you. :) Brandy James Marshall Goff February 13, 2022 at 6:15 PM Thank you Brandy, I agree!
