Such romantic trappings

Sunsets and silly serenades
scented candles & rose cascades
bright laces, ribbons and bows
your toes snuggle with my toes

Romance's seductive trappings
exuding such pretty wrappings
our eyes meet and make demands
our bodies heat to heed these plans

Tranquil and languid by the fire
passion ignites by our desire
your lips nipping at my lips
your arms embracing my hips
between chilled red wine sips

Kisses spiced with peppermint
laughter's tender enjoyments
heart racing sweet sentiments
my head rests near your heart
I feel your love in all my parts

Warm scented oils, touch me there
secret whispers without a care
something wonderful is in the air
tasting , hearing, feeling us two
intense pleasure this does imbue

Why wait for a holiday
make some romance everyday
it simply takes anticipation
and your wild imagination

Love is meant to be celebrated
for those of us so dedicated
it's well worth taking a chance
so don't make love without romance

Aww.. charming - with a pretty romantic pic to set the tone... How well you write of the trappings of romance, the sights and fragrances and touches... Well constructed verses and good use of rhyme and half-rhyme... the poem was a pleasure to read and almost made me want to turn into a romantic... but I've decided I'm past it! I like my red wine at room temperature, and I want to feel my hand in all your parts... lol
