Making Memories

a simple love poem

art ~ Mark Spain

 

 

 

I remember
when the breeze whispered of romance

Blowing softly
over a liquid blanket of diamonds
dancing upon the slow moving water

I shivered
as you pulled my wrap over my shoulders
holding me close against your chest
where the scent of you blended
with the sweet anticipation of your kiss

We laughed
while the diamonds waltzed in perfect rhythm
twirling in tiny pirouettes

Elegant, graceful
and with such an ease...

It was only
when I felt your lips gently touch mine
did I realize

I would be making memories

Yes, I remember
when the breeze whispered of romance
and I fell in love

Julie I must disagree, this is hardly a "simple love poem". The way you make words shine with the gentleness of a sweet kiss, not to mention how your heart reveals itself in the imagery.. well, this is art my friend and as complex and wonderful as life i tself. I am glad to be able to read, thanks. --redzone

dear Julie... we do remember when we fell in love...
Your poem reminded me of the song by Nat King Cole...
"walking my baby back home... we stopped for awhile..
she started to smile...." (and somewhere in that song...
he got talcum all over his chest).
I would love to hear Nat King Cole sing your poems.
Perhaps his daughter Natalie could do just that!
hug... Pat

[MsJewel]

I remember that song Pat...so romantic. Thank you for leaving a lovely comment. Take care my friend. Hugs, Julie
