Blush of Love

If love can make a heartbeat flush
The glowing cheeks in rosy blush
Then it is this, my radiant face
A mirror of love’s deep embrace

For love brings heat and trembling chills
A breathless sigh, a cringe of thrills
A heart that skips a beat or two
Each time that I remember you

Although we parted long ago
A burst of heat, a subtle glow
Quite unexpectedly appears
When thoughts of you dissolve the years

Some day when all is said and done
And skies are filled with scarlet sun
I’ll spend the twilight of my days
Imbued in red of glowing rays

And in the blush of sunset’s cast
I will confess my love at last

Elizabeth, I know the feeling.  When those thoughts creep in and the warmth flows through our veins, it makes the memories all the more dear.  Beautiful words,  ME

Fates may dictate that paths be parted, but the heart never forgets.   This is very beautiful!

How beautiful and how very true this is, for it is these tender blushes that keep me warm most of the time!  Loved it!

Love the title Elizabeth!  The verses that follow sure bring out the theme set up by the title!   Like this one....

                                 "Although we parted long ago
                                  A burst of heat, a subtle glow
                                   Quite unexpectedly appears
                              When thoughts of you dissolve the years"

That's so realistically beautiful!   Well written Elizabeth!
