Sugar Kisses

Love must be as much a light as it is a flame. - Thoreau

Blowing A Kiss - Drawing by Trent Mann

on my way out the door this morning

still ensconced in last night's bliss

you showered me with pixie dust

as i caught your hither blown kiss

for marked assurance of a continued, sweet confection

i put some in my coffee

the rest in my pocket

thanks for the sugar babe

for your honeyed affection

I must be drawing the "romance" vibe toward me, after my rare romantic poem this morning . . . then I find this very romantic poem of yours in my reading library. This is one of two delightfully romantic poems that I ever remember reading of yours, expressing pure simple sweetness without any ironic twist or stab of humor, etc. I love the part about putting some in the coffee & saving some for later . . . that came across as a vivid visual (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

well, valentine's day is fast approaching after all. as i get older though, i wonder if a hershy's kiss wouldn't be better ... :)

Well, there really is nothing like last night's bliss. But if the sweetness lasts, as it apparently has here, nothing more can be asked.

too bad it's fictional, i could use a sugar rush ... :)

I don't know the song (?) and she looks slightly odd with no nose but anytime you can have a kiss blown your way it can only help, and then the bonus of having some left over for later!!
What could be better?
I would say, Thoreau got that one right

[Pete]

do women still do that? i find it very alluring when they do. can't use it all right away, have to save some for later. not much better than it i would agree. thoreau had a lot of things right and way before his time. people thought he was strange ... :)

As sweet as sweet can be. Those blown kisses enough to brighten up any day, especially when there is so much doom and gloom around. Loved this little write Pete. A belated happy new year to you my friend.

I love how the poem expresses the delight at the kisses and how valued they are to be pocketed for later. A joy to read

[Pete]

sometimes we don't realize and appreciate how precious they really are and how they can sustain us in this life. thanks for sharing sweet thoughts helen ... :)
