Those Times That Were Divine

*Note: my first line is inspired by a line taken from Eve Roper's poem 'What the eye sees the heart cannot forget".

*'My heart still feels those times spent in the warmth'
of his embrace!  Although so long ago,
those were the times I touched all of my dreams.
How sad it is to know I let them go!

His eyes were chocolate, and so much warmth
exuded from his sweet eyes I would melt
each time his gaze met mine; a butterfly
of summer’s splendid days is how I felt!

And when his mouth met mine there was that spark -
a soul connection we could never feign.
Warm days turned into nights of passion’s heat -
such nights like that I’ll never know again.

His warm embrace; his gaze; his honeyed lips!
What joy in youth’s swift passing had been mine.
Those times of summer sunshine had no rain.
Hearts don’t forget those times that were divine!

Beautifully romantic laden with heart emotion. I'm thrilled with your romantic writing skills and saddened by the romantic pain, poem portrayed, at the same time! Love ... CayCay (I noted your use of the British pronunciation of 'again' - good move)
