Ruby Red Blush

A simple 2-rhyme, 8 count wishing poem of sweet romance and affectionate passion ... hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it for you.

  Ruby-Red Blush

Glowed, ruby-red blush ~ when first kissed,

with purely heavenly warmth blissed.

Arms sought to tenderly entwine …

words whispered lovingly divine.

Young sweetness would be surely missed.

When golden dreaming’s dreams persist,

my open heart would then insist

two lives forevermore combine …

glowed, ruby-red blush ~ when first kissed.

Sublimely made, a promise list;

now, never wanting to resist.

Tho’ cloudy days, our sun would shine,

those words you said I wish were mine!

I laid alone and reminisced …

glowed, ruby-red blush ~ when first kissed.

Love these lines especially Lisa
‘ When golden dreaming’s dreams persist,
my open heart would then insist
two lives forevermore combine …
glowed, ruby-red blush ~ when first kissed.’

Beautiful write !
Yes it’s good to have memories

[Lisasview]

What's fun with our memories is that they are just ours...and we can change them to suit what we wish..
I really did love writing this..

Wow, what an amazing review!!
I love every word.. but maybe my favourite is when you wrote "with a killer of a finish" You are such a great writer at expressing yourself!!
Thanks a million,
Lisa, trying to finish a new poem

[William Michael Reeves]

Dreaming's dreams is poetic gold! An image in an image into infinity. The lovers lose their virginity in a passionate tale told. I like how you create that little twist in the end revealing the whole thing was just a dream. (I hate it when they do that in a movie) The advancing line works seamlessly in each verse. Nice meter. Excellent poem Lisa!

[Lisasview]

This is so very strange... Michael, as I am going through my poems to make sure I have thank each and every person that took the time to review...I see yours here!!! I check often and I see that your review was a month ago... I find it hard to believe I missed it!
Anyway, thank you a zillion times for a wonderful and positive review... it does mean a lot to me.
Lisa

Days of young lovers comes to mind in a delightful write.

[Lisasview]

Oh how I love the word delightful... Made me smile..
Thank you for always reading and reviewing my words...
Lisa, celebrating my birthday tomorrow in Spain

[Robert Trakofler]

I just love it when someone can weave a story in so few lines and the emotions just pour into the picture you framed in your poetic lines:) you have the gift of a painter like one of my favorite poets in here mr. Kindle Ken Simms I really enjoy it when I can see the words in a poem like a scene

[Lisasview]

Hi Robert,
I find it simply wonderful that you see my poem as a piece of art work. My intention when submitting a poem or a piece of my artwork is to draw the viewer in.
I have always been a story teller and finally a year ago decided to post (for the very first time) my poems... which had been hidden away in a drawer.
I am so happy to know that you enjoyed my words.. means a lot to me. I have quite a variety of poems so perhaps when you have the time you will read some. The first poem I ever posted is called Hand In Hand..it is actually a Sonnet. I also wrote a poem filled with metaphors, called Innocence... a huge difference between the two..
Thank you so much for reading and reviewing,
Lisa, now in Spain

[Sami Khalil]

Gorgeous and fitting for this amazing Valentine's day, set aside to celebrate love, romance, mutual admiration, chocolate, roses and many more. You are waxing poetical. Enjoy Valentines in Spain.

[Lisasview]

Hi Sami,
What a sweet insight into my little poem. Ahh, to be so young again...Tomorrow is my birthday...and I am definitely no longer young.. Oh well... I am healthy and happy..
Lisa

[Sami Khalil]

All wonderful. Happy birthday. You are welcome. I hope you stay that way.

"Arms sought to tenderly entwine …
words whispered lovingly divine.
Young sweetness would be surely missed."
That sweetest of 'firsts', so beautifully remembered and described Lisa...in your graceful lines, flow and lovely rhyme -sealed with a ruby red "X". Thank you for bringing back a memory of a young girl who once was...with eyes raised to his, long auburn hair waving, dressed in faded jeans and delicate blue and white lace peasant blouse... receiving that one, first, perfect kiss... a very beautiful write my friend.

[Lisasview]

Thank you so much for your wonderful ~ inspiring review.
Yes, sadly those dear days are gone.
The thrill and excitement is now but a memory.
But then again we are all quite lucy to have our memories to go back to.
Lisa, just finished making zucchini almond bread...

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Yes so very true Ken. I'm going to Lisa's house straightaway-ha!

[Lisasview]

Qhen I got really sick, for 7 weeks, with the flu and bronchitis I ended up in the 3rd or 4th week cooking up a storm.
I have always been into cooking but now i am over the top. Just took the zucinni bread out of the oven and i am thrilled at how it turned out!! Really easy.

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

So sorry for mis-answering you Lisa. I'm so glad u are feeling better and cooking up such delicious food. I too was ill with flu for a month. Might try making some zucchini bread too!

[Dave Brown]

The well thought title led into an easily read piece of those days of long ago, when we took our first kiss
I still remember my first girlfriend
Sandra Slind
A gorgeous sweetheart with lips just made to kiss, which we both took full advantage of.
hope you enjoyed your stew somewhere in Spain

[Lisasview]

I must say dear Dave that the title just came to me with no thought... Were but that is how most of my titles and words come to me .
I just love that it brought back such sweet memories for you and others that read my words.
Lisa, raining in Spain

[Betty Hermelee]

Day dreaming and reminiscing about love, entwined in deep lush, rube red lips and oh so romantic, who wouldn't want to relive a wonderful tryst....it was always sunny when you were together....young love is so different then us older folks.... it's new and so intense that you just want to keep it forever. I love your rhyme Lisa and the whole creativity of this piece. I enjoyed it and it even brought back some memories for me (a hundred years ago)!
Best, B

[Lisasview]

Ahhh, yes dear Betty...from a hundred years ago!!
ha..ha...
I remember those days quite well.
I appreciate that you feel my poem is creative and that you love my rhyme.
Thank you so much for your great review and for always reading my words!
Lisa, cold day here in Spain

[Betty Hermelee]

You're very welcome Lisa, and form a very cold day in North Carolina Mountains!!!
Best, B

[Lisasview]

Re~read your wonderful review as I was saying thank you to my other reviews..
Had to laugh when you wrote 100 years ago... Tomorrow I will be 75 years old.. closing into 100...now do not tell anyone... ha ha!!
Lisa, celebrating my birthday in Spain

[Betty Hermelee]

Happy belated Birthday Lisa!!!
Best wishes to you,
B.

[Lisasview]

Thank you so much Betty!!
Lisa

[Soren]

Innocence is such an experience that we only have once and can only remember afterward. In reviewing these pieces I would say your words fit so well "Those words you said I wish were mine". This poem applies so well to reading poetry and gleaning words and phrases that later we steal for our own works "there is nothing new under the son" said Ezekiel. Just rambeling but I feel that this poem goes deeper than the surface. Well done

[Lisasview]

Hi Soren,
I have had several poets say that they would love to use my words in their poetry....I am sure this happens quite often. Memories of words stay with us.
I am delighted that you liked my poem dear Soren. You are correct all my poems go deeper than the surface. Even when I reread my own work I find more hidden meanings. Have you read Innocence? I think you might like it. I used many metaphors...which I explain in my authors notes.
Lisa, in cold Spain
