Oโ that I were handsome,
buff as I want to be,
Iโd sweep you off your feet โฆ
steal all your love for me.
Iโd be there beside you,
listening to your woes,
offering soft solace โฆ
embraced through highs โn lows.
We’d share each ardent wish
to cross our minds each day,
swallow your breathless sighs,
letting you have your way.
Paint the sky above you
soft fuchsia of your lips,
kiss their willing wonders โฆ
all othersโ theyโd eclipse.
Strum you a melody
more precious than a rose,
sing you songs of romance โฆ
curling your happy toes.
Weโd lay beneath the stars,
speak love words without sound,
feel stirrings in our hearts,
with fireflies all around.
When moonโs gold soars hightest,
reflecting in our eyes,
weโd sweetly surrender โฆ
make-love โtil first sunrise.
Those promises weโd make,
vows never to be broke โฆ
Nature, there to witness
those golden words weโd spoke.

That is beautiful. I do not see where you can improve on that.
Hi, Fia! ๐ธ
How wonderful to hear your sweet voice this morning, sharing the loveliness of approval for this rather romantic little poem.
You truly are appreciated and enjoyed! โ Rascal๐
Iโve been absent, behind on my readingโฆ
I come back and look what I find. This beauty. So soft, like gentle caress of a promise. Whoever she is, sheโs damn fortunate to receive poetry like this.
Outstanding!
Ohhh, Adira,
You’ve taken a second bite’a my apple this morning ๐
First, S i m p a t i c o โฆ now, this!
Welcome back, Dear Poetess ร Moi ๐บ
With such effulgent sentiments, it’s no wonder the bouquet of your utterances have left a hopeful bard yearning the gentle touch of your satin caress.
Ahhh, that “she” were more truth than fiction, what succulently delightful splendor such a blessing would be.
Thank you, Lady Adira, ever-so warmly, for sharing your lovely presence and encouraging accolades!
Mornin’ hugs to Thee! โ Rascal๐

I’ve yet to see someone of your caliber when it comes to poetry, Richard. Your professionalism stands out.
A great offering my friend. ๐
And, my very excellent, longtime friend, I thank you most gratefully for bestowing such a high caliber review upon this romantic little homage.
Gosh, Tim!
I must apologize for missing your inspiringly gracious review โฆ but, I’ve quit receiving email notices from SR on reviews and messages, etc.
I’ve always enjoyed whatever you share with me! โ Richard🖌
