Why do I float like driftwood?
whenever i think of you
floating freely an aura,
an aura of a sapphire hue
enchanting nights I surrender
crimson lips and eyes lilac blue

Do I portray sweet temptation?
behind the curtain of my smile
in the bedroom of my thoughts
seducing slowly like a sundial

let us get lost within the fork in the road
like a carriage in fog of the night
within the silhouettes of love
brushed by soft eyelash of moonlight

when you cannot be close to my side
reins of my thoughts,i cannot hide
the phantom of your persona
may take me for a buggy ride

Victoria this lovely,
the imagery in that first verse alone was perfect.
wonderful use of metaphor in this...
that sundial line is very cool
creative and unique comparisons
very well done
take care

Am I loved by my words
Will my vows weather the tide
Bended knees can forsee
all the rhythms of life
And a heart can be held without pride

I agree with Janet Marie...this could not be more perfect...

This is magical, Victoria...and lovely...


I love the time
and in between
the calm inside me
in the space
where I can breathe...

~V~ you describe such beauty and love when you write like this, hues, and lilac blue, crimson lips, or silhouettes of love....there were too many great verses for me to pick just one...beautifully done...

Okay........I am bowing to you my friend.  This was beautifully penned in both imagery and in the flow.  I was completely taken by this gem of yours and I do believe that it is my favorite of yours to date.  With this one, you have reached a new pinacle in your poetry.

This caught my fancy, every word.
I seduce like a sundial too.  Only the one that says "grow old along with me, the best is yet to be!"  ha ha  

loved this, Victoria
