Silver Threaded Divertimento

Watching a sway of a Chinese lantern in colors the shade of your smile, paper laced dreams in curvature shapes suspended by silver threads Ripples of koi pond whispers slowly beckon in moonlit gestures, as we sit counting fireflies, hypnotized by our beating hearts Cascading serenade, enchanting the evening divertimento Lotus blossom fingertips softly caress parted lips…smooth As I drink in your fragrance, tasting the flavors, your moistened lips simmering upon each breath… warm, offering a honeyed embrace Gazing longingly upon porcelain skin, a tempting star shine glow… we melt as one, mouths entwined drenched in serenity while deep within our silence we speak, not of voice…but of love

Oh you create this world for the reader...and make him/her get lost in its beauty while he/she reads... I love the lotus line..and the fire-flies ..and the chinese-lantern,and the exceptional last line...You never cease to amaze me..A fave.

Your nice comments Charmaine are always a wondrous gift to me. I am truly humbled by your words. I write to create worlds for others and myself. It seems at times I live in a fantasy world and sometimes that is what I have to do to forget what reality really is. I appreciate you Charmaine, your kindness and your friendship. Thank you so much.

I don't think there are words to describe how beautiful this poem is. I could feel the passion behind it. It spoke to me in a way I can't even begin to put into words. You're very talented, Chris.

I love being drenched in serenity, this one the ladies will love! I would say I love it too but my manliness might be questioned!lol

Pfft, manliness is overrated, at least on a poetry site. At an Eagles/Cowboys game it would be a different story. :) Thanks again John. I'm glad you liked this one.
