Love's ReverieA crimson crossed sun, in sangria sipped the morning's arising display Free falling fire through blush break of dawn Come dance with me down to the day In brilliance of birth, the sky floats, aflame Soft sounds of our kisses are sweet Lets waltz to the whirl of the whispering waves, each sandgrain a gift 'neath our feet As evening cascades to daylight's embrace we'll bathe in the spray of the sea Then run hand in hand, over sheer ocean lace through the dawn of our love's reverie |

Claire this reminds me of the day and evening I spent with my friend Sharna at the Turtle Bay Hilton...We spent most of the day in the swimming pool, the jacuzzi, and swimming in the bay and then we relaxed in lounge chairs and watched the beautiful sunset...a relaxing time of fun...used plenty of lotion...look ma no burn...James |

Claire, Very romantic poetry you have been writing lately my friend. I enjoyed this one much. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

REading your poem reminds me of the feeling of when you surface in cold water feeling cleansed and invigorated, wonderful poem Claire. "Think I'm - I'm lost among the undergrowth So much so I woke up I love you all the same" Manic street preachers You stole the sun from my heart. |

As evening cascades to daylight's embrace we'll bathe in the spray of the sea Then run hand in hand, over sheer ocean lace through the dawn of our love's reverie AND I THOUGHT I was good at imagery. Excellent write from the pen of one of the best. Superb in so many ways. Loved it. |

Lone Wolf...Hi, and thanks. Every now and again I do wax a bit romantic, I suppose. Glad you liked this little bit. Bill... Sheesh, where's my acceptance speech?? Seriously, though, thank you sincerely for your kind words. I'm very pleased to know that you enjoyed this one. Martie...Your opinion means a lot to me, as I consider you so wonderfully creative. Thank you, for the "breathless." Liz...Thanks for noting the alliteration. In rereading, I was a wee bit concerned that I had overdone, but you say that it is subtle, and I appreciate your viewpoint. Thank you! Sudhir...Speaking of alliteration, eh? Thank you, my thoughtful friend. M.A... Such flattery! When truth remains that I post here because the city of Louisville banned me from scribbling on the train station walls. So kind your words, Mark. Thank you. Brian... Thank you for sharing your perspective on this piece, Brian. I like how you've described your impressions! Mark... Dear, you are WONDERFUL at imagery! And thanks for noticing my efforts in this little poem. Victoria... Thank you for letting me know that you found enjoyment in this piece. I so appreciate you taking the time. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Simply wow!!!! You are one of the most unique, talented and creative poets that I have ever had the pleasure to know. This is a beautiful portrait of love that you have painted for us. The imagery, romance, alliteration are all perfect. I echo what the others have said!

Melissa, I didn't realize anyone else had read this piece. Though mere words hardly seem adequate with which to respond to your lovely note, all I can say is thank you, my friend. I am thrilled to know that you found this piece so enjoyable, and am still feeling the rush of warm colour to my face from your very flattering remarks. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
