            The first time I saw your face-Two short poems.


---------
                              Paint me

Elegant lady told me. Life is hard and the night is long my love.
We must bathe in the kindness of the long midnight.
Kind night allowed us to adrift in the safety of tender embrace and sweet kiss.
We must paint a perfect picture of two lovers finding the endless path of the sage of real love.
Please paint me perfect, for when your love is near. You are my song and my will.

----------
                           Your face

My kind muse is quiet. The sweet red wine and the morning daybreak brought her peaceful rest.
I caressed her face with appreciating fingers. I lay my head against her  breasts,  hearing her beating heart. Her kind embrace took me to perfect place. Where love become infinite and we abandon  fear or regret. I looked at her face and I see landscape of beautiful journey and safe place to rest. I whispered to lady midnight. Thank you for an Angel for a man who only knew darkness and despair.

In your poetry, you seem to reflect how inspired by the people around you you are. It's refreshing. In my own work, I can feel very narcissistic. Reading your words (for example, "Elegant lady told me..." and "I looked at her face and I see landscape of beautiful journey and safe place to rest...") makes me remember that we are inspired by the people around us. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Stephanie and you are correct. People near make us better or worst.

A picture of tender and deep love, as always. Though the very last line of the second one reads different, showing a tad more darkness with bits of pain, something I haven't found in your poems before but I appreciate reading.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Vanessa. Love can be light and the darkness. Good to know both.

I agree. You're welcome.

This touching piece is like some memorable chapter of the past.
I kinda felt as if I was reading a great story in so few words.
If ever you decide to write a short story or novel out of this romantic piece, Sir, count me in the firsts to read this.
Thank you.

We humans are two pieces in search of each other.. and your poem captures the comfort of finding each other in this big world.. we are so small..but when lovers find each other, they seem invincible.. Nicely Done..
