The Blush

 

I remember our very first touch

your beautiful lips, the blush

of pink so smooth and tastes so sweet

the exhilarating rush

as you took my kiss and now my heart

beats so much softer… still

you may keep the kiss for none since then

has left me such a thrill

 

A thrill I fear I cannot disguise

with pearls and silk in place

with just a look you see beyond

the blush upon my face

beneath the lace where passion flows

in feelings so surreal

as I long to drink from your sweetness

should another kiss you steal!

Your beautiful poem stirs memories of innocence and awakening for this old man. Anyone with a romantic bone in their body would have their first "kiss" flame re-ignite from your words.
Thank you for your beautiful words.

Thank you for your lovely comment :) Julie

Beautifully penned.

I love the tone of softness with the underlying implication of passion. Nice mix.

Our bodies always betray our inner responses. If not by a blush, then by dilated pupils, quickened breaths, or sweaty palms.

Love this!

Thank you Rubie :) Julie

Julie, I enjoyed your poem the first time, and more so the second time.
Your writing has a beautiful romantic feel to it. Pay no mind to this trash.

well said CwP. If this guy were a gardener he would would plant seeds then kick the s**t out of seedlings for not bearing fruit . He's a twat !. An automaton.

Thank you for your kind words Cherry. He doesn't bother me... He's hiding behind this badass persona that is quite comical... :) Julie

[Cherry Pepperweb]

You handled yourself very well. :)

if we all stick together we can reclaim this fine Cafe - all trolls to be flagged I say by ALL users online when they strike - no slackers - sorry for the rant Julie

Should a kiss be stolen,
it is only proper etiquette to hunt down the thief
and take it back.

I absolutely love the rhyme pattern and soft flowing rhythm in this lovely little scribble
It almost sounds like the first verse is the mans viewpoint and the second verse is the woman's

Really a beautiful poem.

Huggs, Trace

(P.S. I waited till now so my comment would stay up close to the top so you could read it often.)

Kisses can be stolen - but never given back... Thank you for taking the time to leave a lovely comment. I will read it often. Hugs, Julie

I remember something my mother TRIED to teach me when I was young.
" If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"

I try to use that when ever I read poetry.
Maybe we could all put this mantra to use here......

[Trace]

I'm here for the poetry........

Its funny
i have this image in my head
of this guy
the way he looked at me
i can smell the air in his car
his scent
how his hand felt
how his eyes twinkled
how he felt so innocent to my soul

no way that can be relived twice

and no way will i ever forget that moment

anytime of the day
i shut my eyes and i see him the way he was

i said nothing
he was talking alot

i was so lost in everything that is beautiful about him

pretty much everything
the guy has not one flaw
not one

I remember thinking how is this man single ........ who is the woman that walked right passed this air of gorgeous ........ i would slap her for leaving my baby
but then again i am so glad she's gone

because i am in heaven and just music played in my head ever since

i love this write

[MsJewel]

A beautiful description of the impact of a first tumultuous kiss can produce as love temperatures rise to the heavens of bliss so poetically produced and so desired. Yummy Julie!
