Romantic Reminiscence

You surely know I long for sweet romance
I melt completely by your teasing glance 
Each night I pray you give this love a chance,
for you have cast a spell; I’m in a trance!

The scent you wear distracts me to the core
Your slightest touch enthralls, and I want more
That hungry look you give me, I adore
Though rooted to the ground, I seem to soar

You pull me close when danger is nearby
Is it because of love? Please, tell me why!
Your soothing voice brings comfort when I cry
Confess your feelings, or I’ll surely die!

You have not said the words, but actions show
The twilight walks and fire’s afterglow
Perhaps you think that I must surely know
Oh, say it, and let romance bloom and grow

“I love you,” are the words I need to hear
I cannot take a breath when you are near
More than this life, yes, more to me you’re dear
Oh, say it now, my love, and have no fear

You say the words and seal them with a kiss
Pressed firmly to your chest, I am in bliss
In years to come, I’ll smile and reminisce
You were and are my life, remember this!

How easy it can be to reminisce about romantic bliss and the one with whom we share our love! A word, a sound, a scent are enough to set the ball rolling. It is great when we can capture such moments in poetic form. Warm regards and hugs my friend. // paul

Had I been on the selection panel (and without commenting on the level of other poems) I would have definitely chosen it, Eileen! The topic is one close to my heart, and I would have also taken into consideration the capable use of monorhyme.

Dear... I'm devastated that PTS didn't deem this good enough for the anthology. I usually get all 3 poems accepted, but this time this one didn't make the cut. Do you think it's any worse than some of the poems that made it? I only got two published. Breaks my heart, really. Thanks for the kind words.

I love this piece. It feels familiar, is it a repost? It is like slipping into a warm soothing bubble bath with my sweetie and sipping champagne.

In 2015 You read my poem "If I could write" And you met me for the first time. I clicked on you and got this. And decided to send you to my poem as a fair exchange, words for words. Thank you. Yes, Its called "If I could write"

Thanks for the visit. I read over the first poem. It's lovely. That seems to be the first time I read your work. I'm glad you like this piece. I'm entering it to the anothology. I hope it gets published. Blessings

Hello my friend, so nice to see you posting... You were always so good with romantic poems and this is no different with lovely lines of love.. nice rhymes and flows to this... its not always about words, sometimes actions speak louder, as you know.. reminds me of that song, 'more than words by Extreme..

Thanks, SO. Yes, love and romance seem to be my favorites. Have you read the book about the five love languages by Gary Chapman? Well, one of my is words of affirmation, so....I guess that shows up pretty well in this poem. Hope all is well with you. Blessings.
