The Best of You


The warmth of your hand in my pocket
on whitened Winter days,
The salt on your hair in the sunlight
in seasprays Summer haze,
The look in your eyes at the movies
when Bogart wins Bacall,
Your stockings draped over a door knob
the ghost of your scent in the hall,
How giddy you get at a party
when champagne's bubbles flow free,
In a room full of handsome strangers
you only have eyes for me,
When we dance in the night without music
you bury your head in my chest,
Then whisper so softly "I love you"
my darling, thats the best.

Olias.

Yes, I agree this is a lovely, romantic poem,
and most times I do not care for love poems, they are too private, but this is nice.  Joyce

=======================

what a jewel of a verse...
and as always...your cadence is a delight
wonderful poetic portait Olias...
the sentiment in this is sincere and lovely.
excellent poet sir...

Though my soul may sit in darkness,
It will arise in perfect light.
For I have loved the stars too fondly ...
To be fearful of the night.

Not much to say about this one except.

Beautiful....A poem to rekindle fires and warm lonely souls.
