Treasures of Love An aura of moonlit illuminations tracing each of her curves As her smile laid a strand of pearls at the feet of my heart Enticing a response with the wisdom each heart deserves Seen in the emerald of her eyes as barriers began to depart Hesitant breaths swirl in diamond dance of stars in the sky Finding refuge in soft curls of copper wrapped in finger play The nod of assurance comes in ruby blush of cheek so shy Caressing the ivory lace of fingers dancing in a playful sway Golden promises realized without the spoken word in voice Sharing comfort of touch within a trust of innocent embrace Saphire sighs of relief glisten on the horizon of purest choice Found in realization of love captured in this evenings chase The treasures of love are best found without the use of guide Rely only on the events of time and chance in a world of two Where expectations rise to linings of silver within each stride Encompassing passion in an eternal seat with heavenly view Mark Christopher |

Heavenly words soothe this ache of love.. my eyes squint at the brilliance , the radiance, the powerful lovelight shinning from them! ~ARH~ You know you're in love, when you can't fall asleep,because reality is finally better than your dream~Dr.Seuss [This message has been edited by A Romantic Heart (08-29-2008 03:58 AM).] |

Mark that was so well crafted, that is wasn't even until the third read, I realized the rhyme scheme. Moon, spoon, June, good golly ~ now that was a fabulously painted picture in words. Here I always thought blonds had more fun - maybe it is redheads?  Beautiful! |

Mr B, Me thinks the ocean is a Lucky Lady. A woman would be so lucky to provoke thoughts such as these from a man. |

I hadn't realized how much I'd missed reading your work! *S* What a treat to find this evening! *S* I especially like the last verse where you weave great wisdom so beautifully. And as always, your descriptive powers are mesmerizing! Stay safe! *S* |
