Blush of Love If love can make a heartbeat flush The glowing cheeks in rosy blush Then it is this, my radiant face A mirror of love’s deep embrace For love brings heat and trembling chills A breathless sigh, a cringe of thrills A heart that skips a beat or two Each time that I remember you Although we parted long ago A burst of heat, a subtle glow Quite unexpectedly appears When thoughts of you dissolve the years Some day when all is said and done And skies are filled with scarlet sun I’ll spend the twilight of my days Imbued in red of glowing rays And in the blush of sunset’s cast I will confess my love at last Elizabeth Santos |

Elizabeth, I know the feeling. When those thoughts creep in and the warmth flows through our veins, it makes the memories all the more dear. Beautiful words, ME |

Fates may dictate that paths be parted, but the heart never forgets. This is very beautiful! |

How beautiful and how very true this is, for it is these tender blushes that keep me warm most of the time! Loved it! "Lose your temper and you lose a friend; lie and you lose yourself." |

...lovely done...but, never, never, never, never wait 'til last to confess your love... "...don't ever stop loving, don't ever stop believing, don't ever stop dreaming your dreams..." |

Love the title Elizabeth! The verses that follow sure bring out the theme set up by the title! Like this one.... "Although we parted long ago A burst of heat, a subtle glow Quite unexpectedly appears When thoughts of you dissolve the years" That's so realistically beautiful! Well written Elizabeth! |
