Tip of Your Nose

I knew that for me it was you 
that day I first spied your brown eyes, 
and my gray adamantine skies 
got all sparkly and soft and blue.  

I proposed the tip of your nose, 
with its little mounds and its dips, 
(it's the key to unlock your lips.)  
for where my very first kiss goes.  

I caught you alone as you paused 
one moment too long.  It landed 
with you off guard, as I planned it; 
but, wow! the wild heart beats that caused.  

My eyes weren’t closed and rolled 
they did when yours went big as plates.  
My head whipped back; that relates 
to how hard was your nose and cold.  

I knew right away my ‘amore’ 
wouldn't rate romance in your dreams.  
“I’m sorry," I said, "It seems…”  
But then you whispered, “Kiss me more.”

I liked your moon poem, and I'm sorry about your magic moonlight moment. I'm sure, play your cards right and you will. There's too much romance in your poems.

HOw cute, and much more "real" than my goofy moon poem!! I never saw the word adamantine before. will have to look it up. Sounds like a cool word.
