just maybe

i'm not close enough to taste your breath

to feel your touch

still there's a whole chorus of emotion 

coursing through my body 

singing lines from a script its written

one of passion, longing, desire

so as i plant this kiss on my palm

know that it springs from a universe of love

and as i blow it in your direction

it's much more than a fumbled flirtation

because i hope that maybe

just maybe

you will smile as it touches your stubbled cheek

i would hope the receiver of this kiss would smile...
such a well-written gesture is put forth here....
my head, my thoughts have reached out in this way before...knowing i couldn't actually touch...but the imagination can sometimes make the feeling still happen.

A lovely kiss for stubbled cheek
is meant to last at least a week,
but if it's not much bother,
could I please have another?

A lovely bit of writing...tinged with emotion and hopefulness and just the right amount of earthly desire...(is there a better kind?)

A good write, Lydi.

Your elegance and charm and sence of romance, with a tinge of the sensual, is always such a pleasure to read. Always uplifting.

[Lydia Shutter]

John, thank you so much. Lydi**

[Kelly Scheppers]

A fumbled flirtation that overwhelmingly registers on a richter scale could only come from the proximity of you, Lydi.

[Lydia Shutter]

Kelly, you are sight for sore eyes! Thanks so much. Lydi**

That last line is a killer. But then they all are. Such rich romance Lydi. Simply beautiful.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Ken. Lydi**

how did you know i haven't shaved for a few days??? ;)))))) i think the sensuality is just right ... the romance big and very very relatable ... time and distance can very well be myths when intent and focus are in play ... we are connected in more ways than phone lines, satellites, and physical contact aren't we?!

[Lydia Shutter]

Absolutely, my friend. Thank you so much for the review. Lydi**

[John the Baptist]

Where were you forty years ago?

[Lydia Shutter]

Smiling here....I was married and had a baby....and I worked 50 hours a week. Thanks for the visit. Lydi*

Great photo Lydi- is she the iconic Marilyn? Your poem is effervescent and its seductive bubbles tantalize. The style is wonderfully intimate, personal, playful, warm. What red-blooded man could resist your poetic wiles? I think none. Excellent write!

[Lydia Shutter]

Not sure if it is Marilyn Monroe. I doubt it though. She never wore such pale lipstick! :) Romantic poetry will always be my favorite genre. Thank you so much for the lovely review. Lydi**

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

You’re right! And you are very welcome, my friend.
