The Aficionado
I keep my heart
in my pocket
in a little
brass locket,
with your picture
and a piece
of scripture
engraved
upon my mind
beneath moonbeams
and starshine
hand and hand
we unwind
as we gaze
into each other’s eyes
like honeybees
and butterflies
and I...
take sips of her mind
like the finest wine,
taking my time
to savor
every drop of her flavor
I study her
every movement,
fascinated by her behavior
captivated
by the way her
hips sway
to the music
she's fine art
much like Monet,
with a divine heart
and a beautiful body
that I could
gaze upon
for days
she's simply got
that magic touch
and
I'm not asking much,
just to be her friend
but in the end
I know
that
she
could be
so much more to me
if only in my wildest dreams

From one hopeless romantic to another, this is what it's all about isn't it? Your poem is so lovely and romantic! The flow was great as was the ending. Great poem!

Aww, thank you, Faith! I'm glad I'm not the only one, heh. I was feeling a little bit of 'la passione' when I wrote this one. So glad that you liked it ❤️😊

The best kind of hopelessness?

I suppose it's better to be hopelessly in love rather than just plain hopeless, lol. Thanks for taking the time to comment and RL, MyLadyCharlotina. It means a lot ❤️

Beautiful NB!!! You have originated an incredible work of art writing about love in such an imaginative and whimsical way. And who doesn't appreciate a hopeless romantic who is so in love with love. Great work brother!

And if she were to read this, she would be falling for you.
This was the epitome of love and passion, so close and yet so far.
Best of luck in the comp.

Dear NB,
If I could give you more than one RL I would. Frantic scribblings or not you’ve written what so many of us have wished and experienced present or past. Beautiful. H🌷
