Love Poem: Memories of Love-Ten Words

Memories of Love-Ten Words

Memories of Love – Ten Words

Love like a twirling tempest, 
whirled us to an uncharted shore 
of unbridled, sublime, sensuality,
gifting me with moonlit memories 
that would never be forgotten.

How I savored those kisses from your lips… 
milk chocolate lips flavored with the 
lingering tangy taste of fresh, luscious, 
wild, ripened, crimson raspberries…
dipped in cool whipped cream.

Creating sterling silver ripples 
on the ocean, we waltzed by the glow 
of a yellow, ballooned, harvest moon.
Like a singular, silent shadow, we fused
as one igniting entity…silhouettes
painted-in by the black of night.

Youth and dreams may fade away
like scenery from an old water-color painting;
but I’ll always recall, like it was yesterday, 
the ecstasy of love shared, 
when we floated away on a carpet of 
tinsel-lined clouds, cloaked in the grace
of blue-gray, early misty morning.
