Love is but a sweet caress
A gentle touch upon thy breast
As flowers fresh in early Spring
Or baby birds as they take wing

Love will paint the roses hue
In vibrant colors graced with dew
As sunshine greets the morning sky
To kiss the fields of wheat and rye

Love is like the ocean's lure
Warm, embracing and secure
As Winter's clear or warmlit days
As misty mountains in the haze

Finally, love will test the soul
As minutes, days, then years unfold
A word of caution brings advice
True love requires sacrifice

Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "
Leon Cohen~

Very very beautiful and so romantic Bill.
Very much enjoyed.

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

Very enjoyable and romantic, even though with the final words you put your feet again to the ground.

....and a little sacrifice for love doesn't really hurt.
Very well done and going into my library!
hugs, Chris

Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.

OH,MY! Sigi Trutodaraiders each thing you write gives pictures to the spirit,music for souls to dance to and then reminds there must be more than wispy dreams of beauty one must as well be willing to sacrifice to make this work for all!

You will never sleep alone for long with such

   Very well written and classical structure exhibits a style of "Classical Romanticist Poet"... Bravo. My preference.
