Entered the bedroom, the smell of you lingering within, caressing the air I breathe, softly touching ever part of me, the overhead fan brushing it from wall to wall, swirling it round and round, engulfing me in your aroma. Pajamas, silky, satin things of darkest blue lay crumpled on the pillow where you lay your head, cast in haste, waiting your return; I lift them up, touch them to my cheek, deeply breathe the perfume they hold, slightly reel, filled with the scent of you, the fragrance of the woman I love. Around the room I look, I see you, feel you, smell you, love you --- love you beyond all reason, beyond the essence of life; I lay the card upon your pillow, "Hello", it says, and then inside, "I thought of you today…" w. james beard, jr. © January 2001 |

Very tender and full of romance...fragrance is such a reminder of what was...and who is. [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 01-03-2001).] |

love notes are romantic also when she can read them within the seclusion of your eyes.. ~V~ A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) |

jwesley, you have a lucky woman there...I only hope to find a man as romantic as you...course maybe it's not what I really want, because I had it and let it slip... thanks for the wonderful write though anyhow. |

I have loved every one of your soft,romantic poems, and this is no different. So elegant, simply romantic in an earthly way that is just so beautiful. With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free.. dragonpoe |
