Kismet

(a little light romance)

when our lips met in breathless tender touch

as eyelids drew their blinds on bustling world

let memories of that moment's state of bliss

reside inside our minds for all of time

as butterflies chased moonbeams in night's dark

two hearts entwined like grapes grown on a vine

while stars saluted pathways edged in bright

those feet were floating six feet off the ground

the axis of the planet came adrift

all sense of time departed when we kissed

Something I can strongly relate to, yet I'm envious of anyone in this situation.

Great poem, Chris.

Like grapes grown on a vine entwined...

If we are lucky we get to feel and embrace a love like this even if it’s only for a short bit.

[Chris Shaw]

Love is always worth it. Thank you PB.

[Poetic Beauty]

I definitely agree. I have had my fairytale love that will always beat within my heart. I need to write a new poem soon. Some interesting dreams as of late.

I am a romantic at heart and believe in the power of love

What a lovely title to describe the passion and romance attached with first kiss! May be the earth is rotating on its own axis but to that moment the world rotates on their love axis.... What a lovely poem is this

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you dear Sima.

Kismet.. as Fate would have us meet...
it was a chance to fall deeply in love.
The blending of two Hearts beating for
all time. tenderly, Pat

oh my, Chris...do I remember this!
First girlfriend, knees buckling...
when our lips touched...
I think mine were 12 feet off the ground.

"eyelids drew their blinds on bustling world"

like the Vogues' song "Five O'clock World"----what a great line that is.
