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 |

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. ======================= 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...
