*The Red Dress in the Breeze

.

Caressed to enfold your beautiful body the gentle breeze
Seems attracted to skim your every curve tightening your dress
To a Carmen’s level, provocative alluring, sensuous,

The stunning flowers behind you smile, inhaling your presence,
The red dress crowned with your shining black hair
Blocks out everything the eye can see except your lips.

This without a word beckons I to kiss,
The evening curtains close on the moon
Casting shadows for I to draw near,

The red dress glows in the dark
Both our arms gently hold each other,
We say nothing

Only... that kiss of bliss,
Amore,
Imagination makes love.

Aaaah, I see you have a penchant for the pure passion (smile) ... This was a very lilting write (like the red dress in question) It was very soft in delivery, yet strong with emotion - that's a good skill in poetry writing. This poem is very picturesque - It makes the reader think they've walked in on a pretty moment of open-heartedness ... I truly enjoyed reading this one ... Excellent Write ... MoonBee

A very well written love poem, as I was drawn into the poem and became a part of the scene. That makes a good poem and even better, a good poet. Great Job.

Romance with a scarlet flourish - I am with Fay on the 'evening curtains', a truly admirable line.

Lovely Ken - the phrase the "evening curtains close on the moon" -is a stunning description of allurement and love during a dark cloudy night.
