With angel breath
I whisper words,
Softly of my love,
A gentle kiss
Upon your brow,
Gives rise to cooing dove.
The warmth we share
Will fill the night,
With nectar sweet and fine,
We'll wake at dawn
To drink again,
Of love's inebrious wine.

I'm pleased that you learned a new word from my poem! I certainly have learned several myself from reading the poems of fellow Pipsters!  

I appreciate your thoughtful reply!

A most passionate and intimate embrace.  With an angel's breath and gentle kiss upon the brow...to me that speaks of such a closeness and connection that cannot be matched for its genuine affection and feeling.  Lovely Linda.

That bump felt sooooo good!   As you may recall, this was the poem that I had written as a reply to one of your poems! So if this poem makes it into the book (my wings are crossed!), you will be partly responsible!

Dear Linda,
Apart from the soft and gentle evocative imagery of this poem, it has a virtue with which many poets (including yours truly) find difficult to ornament their poetry: that of brevity.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his preface to *Parnassus* (1875) praised such a virtue in these terms: "Poetry teaches the enormous force of a few words, and, in proportion to the inspiration, checks loquacity." I think he would have admired your poem -as I do!

Regarding the use of the word *inebrious*: it is not listed in my copy of the Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English -seventh Edition (1987).  However, I am quite happy to accept it as a new word on the following grounds:
(1) Common usage is ultimately decided by readers, writers and speakers of English;
(2) If this poem appears in the anthology (which it definitely should), then it will be read by multitudes of English speaking people throughout the world and, as a result, will come into common usage and, therefore, be included in a future edition of standard English dictionaries.

Finally, congratulations on creating such a touching love poem. My vote is in!    

Patrick Talty

Patrick ~

Your reply was so eloquent, gracious and flattering, that I may even frame it and hang it on the wall of my study!

There is a word "inebrius" which means intoxicated, but I wanted intoxicating so I took poetic licence and made it "inebrious"! You caught me!

Thank you for such a thoughtful response!

Love, Light & Literature!
Linda
