Click the image for today's National Poetry Month Tour stop! Last Friday, I challenged my readers to comment with one line of poetry about romance, without using that word or five others -- LOVE, BURNING, PASSION, SWEET, HEART. I've given it a tentative title, but the rest was your creation:
First Sight, Love
Can we defy expectations, and have this part never end?
winding around me like ivy
gently pushing through the wall i built up
Stealthy, unexpected, brilliant, bright. The surprise of a star, a first kiss
yearning for your touch
the bliss of a kiss…
Words spoken, yet
nothing said, glances
lock, then lost
The promise of promises yet to come
