Until Your Kiss I Savor
Was it captivation or wonder that first
led my heart to you?
Perhaps only fascination with fleeting
thoughts of some chance to pursue.
And with every glance my way,
those tempting eyes softly persuade,
your inviting lips dispute any delay.
Bid me come closer and touch your heart anew.
Allow me to delight in the warmth
of every breath that swirls, streams inside you.
Slow, sweet gentle breaths that excite me.
Draw me to your sumptuous lips
as they urge me to taste your love completely.

On The Day We Met
Hello sweet baby girl
in your silky newborn skin,
with your eyes so beautifully wide awake.
To be sure, facing eternity this early in the day
is not possibly what you expected,
and not necessarily a piece of cake.
I know you can’t appreciate or realize it all quite yet,
just be aware that we noticed
that you accomplished great things today.
Taking fearless first steps,
reaching out and touching those
who will always love you faithfully.
And reminding us,
that we’ll always take the greatest care,
as we journey with you on your way.

In Beautiful Dreams With You
In my enterprising eager mind resides
boundless hopes and dreams
of a beautiful life with you, my love.
Surprisingly they coincide
with our every glance it seems.
Imagining your inspiring eyes,
and how, when they meet mine,
elicit such sweet affection.
Then, passionately we intertwine
and delight in love’s perfect connection.

These are so sweet and lovely Chris. I read “In Beautiful Dreams…” three times I found it so romantic. You truly are talented…thanks for posting these beautiful works.
My “baby” is now in his teens. Your poem takes me back to those days of him face up in his crib, arms and legs moving as I spoke to him. Eyes bigger than saucers. Thanks.
These are beautiful… well done…thanks for sharing.
I wish I could write love poetry especially with the tender romance that you weave through these lines. Beautiful work
Beth! Thank You! Thank You! Things are smoothing out some and I promise to focus and keep moving forward! I do keep up with you! Just so you know!
Beautiful paintings and love poems!
Thanks so very much Ayala! I am still trying to get back into the groove after the events of the last year! I appreciate your interest and support in my writing endeavors so very much.
beautiful chris… I most especially enjoyed on the day we met.
Laura, “On The Day We Met” was actually written on the morning of the blessed occasion – the birth of a most precious grandbaby (of a very good friend of mine)! Her name is Kaitlyn! So happy that it connected with you. Thanks for taking some time and commenting!
smiles…you write love gently…as it should be and capture a bit of the magic that happens when two hearts meet….really cool paintings too….
Appreciate those kind words Brian! Been on a bit of a writing sabbatical lately but starting to let things flow a bit more easily now. Hope all is well with you these days!
