Silent Glances


Jazzy nights filled with romance
                      and glassy dreams ! 
Buildings lit beneath a sleepy sky
             of smudge coal gray 

His hand gently placed in mine, 
a breath away from me 
he sits, 
           sailor of my fantasies, ardor of my beating heart...  

A sailboat retires for the night 
                      on the dock over quiet waters 
inside the cafe, music plays softly
                                    like sensual summer winds
He gifts me a smile, 
                                       and stars appear, 
                                sending light into mine !  

Velvet time,            layered moments
                 filled with enfolding bliss
 
                        We share one kiss ! 
   
Truth be told, 
he is the soulmate I longed for all my life 
I am lost in love's hammock, 
                        rocked by his slow candor,
I feel loved,  clothed in fleece...  

Jazzy nights filled with perfume
                               and a budding slow romance 
The saxophone plays on ....  
we speaking softly  to each other,  
                               through silent glances.

Mystic Rose Rose, congratulations on earning an Honorable Mention in the 2025 Poetry Marathon’s FINAL Placement Contest—your poem stood out in a very competitive field of submissions. The poems of the 37 qualifiers can be accessed from my current "Finish Line" blog post. Time to take off those running shoes and give those feet a rest!

Dear Rose, I adore the intimate, atmospheric imagery and how "silent glances" can convey so much while holding onto mysteries (maybe to be revealed) too. I especially loved "glassy dreams"! Some dreams, like hearts, will break... but hopefully not. Your poem is exquisite! Congratulations for your success in Mark's contest. Warmest wishes, my poet friend.. ~Susan

This could easily be a scene from a film. It oozes passion, atmosphere and 'cinematography'. (Or should that be poetography?) Belated congratulations for your placement and POTD. Cheers - Gary

Rose, love your “jazzy nights filled with romance …” as you capture the timelessness of falling in love. And “the saxophone plays on!” Congratulations on your top 10 win on Mile 17 of my 2025 Poetry Marathon Contest. Keep your running shoes on, because Mile 18 has already started.

Dear Rose, O, finally something that made me believe in romance all over again, Rose. It's sensual without being cliché, dreamy without losing its authentic feeling. It was like pure joy spilled onto the page. Thank you for sharing this beautiful glimpse into your heart. The world needs more of this kind of tender, swooning poetry. Congrats on POTD! Blessings, My Dear Rose, Daniel

Dear Vienna, these thoughts curl softly around me for so many reasons. ' he sits, sailor of my fantasies, ardor of my beating heart. ' And, ' inside the cafe, music plays softly like sensual summer winds. ' :) A few moments within remind me a song. Your thoughts are beautiful, romantic, soft and sexy. Beyond breathtaking, my dear friend. This belongs in my favorites. Congratulations on receiving Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Dear Vie, your poem is like a slow jazz melody wrapped in moonlight — smooth, romantic, and utterly transporting. I felt every glance, every breeze, every heartbeat. The imagery is breathtaking, and the tenderness between them flows like a song only soulmates would know. Congratulations on you POTD...Hugs
