Romancing This Love


Darkness crept across the hallow of skies
As would the panther in shadows of surprise

The hands of destiny swept the stars of night
Across the face of passion in blinded sight

Neptune's breath whispered against lips of tide
Caressing our feet between each timid stride

Swirls of anticipation met with strands of breeze
Brushing against moments our hearts would seize

Each pulse of passion echoed through waves of lace
Enticing the infinite boundaries of our first embrace

Rays of dawn spilled kisses across morning dew
Romancing this love ... I have found in you


Mark Christopher

I have found in you ... a reflection of me ...
and a path to the peace I have sought.

This is stunning...I would highlight a favorite line, but I'd just have to copy the whole poem again, so I'll just say it is stunningly beautiful.

Well my king of Romantic images and verse...
you make it hard to pick a fave line here...
When you are well inspired...we gain the gifts...
we do so love ya in love MC...for when your pen writes your heart ... we get to warm in its glow.
This is a gem my friend ... an ethereal beauty and swoon and sigh just waiting to happen
Your muse is a lucky lady  
Thanks for indulging our wishes and stopping in...you are missed here poet cowboy
love ya groovy guy
