Glimpse I the sea’s of Ireland in sapphire’d eyes,
Which shimmer bright and forlorn mists dispel;
Your gaze a crystal tapestry comprised.
Laughter from thy succulent crimson lips,
Caresses the air that excites my heart;
As you dance your form does the moon eclipse,
Whilst whispering romance my dreams you impart.
On a bed of sumptuousness rests a pearl,
A ladanki for honeyed tongues of ours;
Your smooth velvet skin, a flower unfurled
From heaven’s touch, gleams and fills my hours.
Just one kiss from your pretty smile I steal,
Forever then our bonded fates be sealed.

Feels like this is from the heart.
“Just one kiss from your pretty smile I steal,
Forever then our bonded fates be sealed.”
Simply beautiful words Edward.
Thank you Nunyaa for your kind words.
I know the girl but it was purely an example of what I can write for others.
I did take a lot of inspiration from experiences in my past however.
Edward, this is very nice. I love the imagery. What opulence!
Many thanks Scott.
