Love is More Than a Bed by Michael Auguste Whenever I read poems of love They always take place in a bed As if that's all romance can be I guess it's dying or else dead A night's too short for happiness And much too short to feed her heart There's other things so like a kiss That no bed ever can impart Come take your dear love by the hand In summer rain just take a walk And watch as droplets trace her face Let silence substitute for talk Try sitting, her head on your chest And quietly whisper in her hair As you breathe in the scent of her She cannot help but know you care Count all her fingers with a kiss You'll feel each breath and every sigh And know that in her there's such bliss For her this is a special high So much more is there to romance Caress her heart, put off the bed Drown in her eyes and not her skin Remember things she did and said Just hold her and enjoy her warmth Now listen closely, that's her heart You think the bed is how to love Romance must be a dying art Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |

"Count all her fingers with a kiss You'll feel each breath and every sigh And know that in her there's such bliss For her this is a special high" Michael, as long as there are still men like you who understand and cherish a woman's heart, romance will flourish. This is so tender, my friend. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Claire, I'm glad to see you like this one...this is how I feel about romance and would like to think most men still do. Thank you for the nice words. American Princess, Thanks for the wonderful words...your opinion, of course, means a great deal to me and always has. ~Michael~ Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |

this is love, when you only want to make her happy, and show her all you have to give with little gestures that feeds her heart of your love she will resend , beautiful and so romantic what every woman dreams of. |

hi AUGUSTE, My compliments to you for a sweet verse... Much truth lays in it's weave... I believe all men have the capability they just sometimes need a reminder of the tenderness derived from shared romantic energies... A refreshing poem you've shared Coco [This message has been edited by CocoBaci (edited 09-08-2000).] |

Heather, Please do continue to believe there are men who can love like this...there are, my friend...thank you. Coco, Yes, certainly all men are capable...tenderness is so like a kiss. Thanks for the nice reply. Martie, I honestly do believe that I'm not the exception...I think, or at least hope, that most men think as I do when it comes to love and romance...thank you for the sweet words. They were nice to hear. ~Michael~ |

So much more is there to romance Caress her heart, put off the bed Drown in her eyes and not her skin Remember things she did and said --------------- So true, Auguste. Excellent read. |

Marcy, Thank you for visiting. "Romance" was already defined...sometimes it just needs a helping hand so people will remember that is does have a definition. Take care and enjoy your weekend. Michael Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |
