Love Tiptoes In What strange exotic silent veil is this That covers you with canopies of bliss? A simple glance into a stranger’s eyes Touches on a soul you recognize Two strangers caught within the veil of chance And suddenly both spirits dance a dance Unlike a force that ever came before You feel his essence drawing near to yours your timid spirit falls into his grips No words can find a place upon your lips Then in the silence of the lunar light Love tiptoes in and quickly steals the night Elizabeth Santos |

I love the last two lines, wonderful ending to a beautiful poem. "Life is like music; it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule."~ Samuel Butler ~ |

There really is something to "love at first sight." I've always thought that we are all connected, some more than others of course. I've heard people argue that it is just infatuation....I'm not so sure! I know of couples that have been married thirty years and that was how it started for them. Aside from those points, this is another excellent poem Elizabeth, you have a way of getting your readers to deposit their mind right into your work.........ethome.. |

Liz, this is wonderful! It's a beautiful description of how love can just slip into your life. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde "The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief" -Shakespea |

Your comments to this poem are wonderful. There is more to "Love at first sight" than meets the eye. I am so glad that others can relate to this.I wasn't sure Thank you all Liz |

Elizabeth~ I think many of us have fallen under the spell of that 'instant glance' at one time or another in our lives. You tell it well. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
