New romance poetry... 

 
The time and occasion 

seeming so right 

no false pretense 

prim, polite 

we both closed our eyes 

breathless intentions 

happiness overcame 

reservation 

~ 

Joy took our breath 

away, so divine 

we pledged our love 

eternally...  

hers and mine 

her skin so soft 

our fingertips touched 

lips, tender and fine 

~ 

Her smile, breathtaking  

her eyes were on fire 

our tears streaming 

as liquified pearl 

should I ask her 

to stay, then no 

not just yet 

first kiss to be 

savoured, not rushed 

let us wait 

~ 

Sunset cloaked our  

arousal, so warm 

we nestled, in the  

moments of darkness 

held so close, a feeling of 

utter content, emotions 

simmering, hers and mine 

so good, so right 

~ 

The night was a dream 

holding each other 

so close, so divine 

sweet dreams my love 

this night was so fine 

our hearts came together 

as one, yours and mine
