every night before

artwork by michael and inessa garmash

the timeless taste of your kiss
lingers on my tongue
on the other side of morning
your scent on the sheets
                       just a tease
 eggs me on
                           so seductive
           you
my “esprit de corps”
each morning after
every night before

Heavy Sigh! Lydi, your poetry is one place that holds all the magic of the world. It can never leave your poetry. You had me at 'the timeless taste of your kiss'. Your words are so deeply sensuous... teasing and tantalizing the soul. All your romantic poetry is simply eternal, my friend.

My dear Sanober, your words make me feel special. Thank you so much. Lydi**

The softness of the morning sun
shines on the afterglow of passion.
A tease of the night before with

Lydia. I love the whole poem and that line 'on the other side of morning,' conjures up such wonderfully evocative image.

To wake in such a way would be sheer bliss.

Beccy.

So romantic and passionate.I'm sure many lovers feel this way when they wake up alone, I know I do.Strange isn't it, how love is such a powerful thing?

[Lydia Shutter]

Indeed it is. Thank you, Svetlana. Lydi**

' .. on the other side of morning.. ' there's something precious about that phrase.

Smiling, thinking, feeling - that's the heart of your romantic words' influence, Lydi.. This is what love is and what it truly means if it's real.. a wonderful post. Truly.

(Aren't the Garmash paintings perfect for poetry!)

[Lydia Shutter]

Oh, yes, I have used Garmash paintings for over ten years. They are so emotive and perfect for romantic or emotive poetry. Thanks for the review, Emma. Take care. Lydi**

Such passion and romance -- a vivid and powerful portrait of love and how it stays with us in the afters.
