First Kiss

~ a Spanish Sestet or Sextilla ~

art ~ svetlana valueva

 

 

~~~

I won't forget the lovely bliss

of tender warmth found in a kiss

that left a blush upon my cheek

‘twas softer than a butterfly

whispering through a crystal sky

light as a breath, no words to speak

 

Just peacefulness surrounding me

as flowers bloomed in harmony

and in the trees, I reminisce,

of birds in song weaving sunbeams

around my heart and now it seems

I won't forget summer’s first kiss

~~~

I really like how you pair your work with nice artsie images. It completes everything in a way. The poem is really nice.

[MsJewel]

Thank you Christina. I love art as much as I love poetry. Finding a beautiful image to accompany my words is as much fun as writing the poem. Svetlana Valueva's art combines beauty and nature. She is one of my favorites. If you like this painting, you should google some of her others...she is amazing. Thanks again for your kind words. :) Julie
