always

a simple love poem

artwork by bec winnel

you dream love

you sleep romance

           even as you kiss my senses awake

you soothe me with your silence

suddenly there is a reason

                     if not a rhyme

to every step of my life

my heart blooms

always

You capture love even in the thought of "silence" Lydi. You remind me of times when I too have felt the reason for being even when my world is all out of rhyme.
This poem carries to me a thought seeding the catalyst of my emotions and the condensation of memories I hold dear.
Thank you for sharing you gift here with me.

Oh Lydi this poem of yours, (the muse) is such a romantic one.. I could live here forever, and feel the bliss of your words. Truly, with such a short poem you just nail it on the head. I'm so glad to read your euphoric words, and to see and feel your happiness.

I like the twist in " suddenly there is a reason
if not a rhyme"
yes, Lydi, your senses are awake, heart's abloom and in your "simple love poems", "always".. I know your gentle touch with words, yes always, kiss my senses awake and always so very "nicely". I'm dreaming romance now Lydi, so don't wake me... ;0) (you should put this one under Steven's pillow)

or somewhere else! (evil grin!) Curt, I am always grateful for the wonderful reviews you leave on my poetry. Thank you so much.....but don't let it get around I have a gentle touch. You know Joisey goils are supposed to be rough and tough! :) I would not think of waking you.....dream on, Curt! Lydi**

You know how to say it in a way that should soothe any soul with your words. The image is lovely, as always, and to think of one who can even bring calm to the silence is a comfort in itself. And a heart that blooms with such a love is a bouquet in itself! Lovely Lydi!!

You are welcome my friend.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

such a beautifully expressed love poem...and with such perfect brevity of line...
"soothe me with your silence"
that is when we know it is real love.

Simple perhaps Lydia but romatic and effective and with such love wrapped up in a few words.
