Poet's romantic poetry.

Life has its High Moments by Steve Slimm

Over My Heart.

I reach for your core of warmth
in musings and dreams.

They lift me lightly into your keeping.

Large loads float by, weightless,
after reading your verses.

Hurts melt in the heat of your words
and become no more a burden.

Holding you soul-close my spirit survives.

Time cannot enliven me
like warm phrasing and rhyme.

If this be love then love transforms parting.

Breathe then your gold, dear friend,
pen it over my heart.

Wow this is something else. I really love the line, 'large loads float by, weightless, after reading your verses'; it's killer.
