These Nights, Love

by abracadabra   Oct 14, 2011


These nights, love comes easily.
The air is honey-thick and steeped with Spring,
waiting to erupt. The city's lights paint the river
red, blue, gold and the trees are lit with lanterns.
There is laughter and glasses clink
on sidewalk tables, and everywhere,
everywhere are lovers outlined
against tram windows, shop fronts,
lamp posts, doorways.

These nights, I burrow into you
closer than ever. Our room is lit by stars and
I listen to the waves of your breath,
journeying with the constellations
across the window pane.
I turn my face, finally, to the warmth
of your neck, secretly kissing each tiny pulse
until I join you in sleep.

    It sound slike these nights might be the night of February 14th - Valentines day

    What a romantic poem. I love it. Flowed easy. I love it when the artist easily creates a picture in my head to connect with the poem easier

    I turn my face, finally, to the warmth
    of your neck, secretly kissing each tiny pulse
    until I join you in sleep.

    ^^^^^^^^

    This has left me speechless. No amount of words can sum up how beautiful this composition is. Pure magic.. Must say, this was romantic and very heavy. Splendid job.

    Oh,so scientist do have a soft-side?...lmao..jk...

    I loved this..
    how the poem itself is very calm..
    I can almost hear the tone...someone might use when reading this poem out loud..kind of like a whisper you see .."ahh,these nights love"... Its so very soft.. I love the way the poem is laying on the page.kinda..like it is taking a sweet nap..and its all cozy.. it kinda fits the way you are speaking of comfort in this piece..usually poems seem like thrown on the page you know? the usual stanza's..the pauses and all I don't know what..

    but this was,perfect..
    I loved it even before it won..and also read it a few times...already..but sometimes I'm just too lazy to comment -.-'

    but like I've told you before..
    I am a fan of yours :)

    and I look forward for more! Mwa!

    "...and everywhere,
    everywhere are lovers outlined"

    ^ Perfect repetition.

    Nice poem, though it's softer and sweeter than I would expect coming from you.
