Slow and Deep

~ a love poem ~

             

                           

Time stands in wonder

as the window of my soul opens to greet you

as one would the dawn…

 

a silent embrace of beauty blissfully captured

 

Your words fall upon me like petals from a wildflower

once dancing gracefully in a carefree breeze

now mine

not to hold

but to savor slowly

as if it were a sip of fine wine

or a kiss

lingering

like a breath held in a moonlit dream

 

My spirit smiles slow and deep

I love the images I get when I think all the words through. I read this piece over and over. It reminds me of love at first sight. Talking with someone we meet but secretly knowing they are a soul mate.
I love the word choice very delicate and descriptive!
'Your words fall upon me like petals from a wildflower...'

Well penned!

As I have come to expect, you capture the moment in your word choice and phraseology and describe the emotion of romance and love in a few eloquent lines Julie.

I enjoy reading your words. The strength of love makes us take more sips "Slow and Deep"... and your poesy expressing it all very widely.
