Beautiful romance as only you can do
Love, Amor

HMMM...JUST THINKING HOW THE TERM 'LOVE' HAS NO 'VALUE' THESE DAYS. THEY HAD A LOVE AFFAIR WHICH RESULTED IN SADNESS FOR HER AND SHAME ON HIM...'CAUSE, REAL LOVE DOESN'T FADE WITH TIME, IT SOLIDIFIES. REAL LOVE IS' MORE THAN A LOVE AFFAIR'...IT'S FOREVER. WELL DONE, POETESS...THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS * FAITH...

He did indeed... and probably still does in the dream that still bears the LBR insignia and marches to her irresistible (heart)beat. We are many people in many lives, Belle - especially as poets - and with all of our manifold alter-egos which enter into the many phases of life's quadrille, the beauty of our multi-faceted dance is that it is nothing if not passionate and all-embracing. Plus, the oceans of the heart are deep and their waves unpredictable and unbounded. To be part of such brings both untold pleasure and unspoken pain. But rains of devotion fall on us all, and we are blessed because of it... Bohemian, maybe, but yes, blessed! We love... because we can. The artlessness of your picture tells all: passion unfeigned and unfettered, as it should be. Always so on point, like a mirror, your writing, Belle. Another scorcher! xx

Belle, How beautifully written, passionate, erotic...one of your
very best!

Always,
Deborah

Your words evoke an ageless and timeless theme of this world/life, Belle. Very nicely expressed verses. Love and best wishes,

Ah, an affair of the heart and passion..Short lived as passion faded and fell beneath the mist. Love your descriptive stanzas, I could feel the passion.

Lovely work as always, Belle,
Peace, love and light,

*Poetess Of...and for...The Heart*
You are the Belle of all Bells as
you toll with so much emotion!!!

a wonderful tone shift towards the end of this superb poem renders the closing stanza more bittersweet than I had expected... I found this ending enticing and the lead up to it both passionate and intense... well done, Poetess...

I enjoyed this

A lovely write Belle, sure starts the juices flowing. What's the old quote,,,? ".. better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all...?" Maybe so,,,, but maybe that only whets the appetite for more.... Then what is she to do? "in the dark alleys of her dreams...." Guess there's always some old "horney dog" around to pick up the scraps.... Dick

"We've Got Tonight" whispering words to water her soul
with the soft rain of his devotion now forever in her dreams
lost in love's sweet, brief moment..Passion ~ Dreamy Lady La Belle
Lady Mary Ann

this expression brings to life that image :)

Ah, the clandestine kiss, in the obscurity of plain sight. For the man it is a score. For the woman it is a memory. Beautifully written and delivered.

Woman the way you write you can make the snow melt and inspire all poets to pick up a pen and write romantic poems----well done

Wonderful, sensuous writing. Perhaps this was just a passing fancy or a youthful adventure for true love must be kept alive and nurtured on a daily basis to build trust and sensuality at the highest level. A lovely, romantic poem.

La Belle,

Very beautiful, sensuous poem.

Mary

wonder why the blazing hot desires were silenced? ... love has to be nourished or it starves ... the conditions of an affair are of course flirtatious but also require nurturing ... really enjoyed these insightful, experience-capturing, stimulating triplets ...

Great poem, Belle, fantastic actually. I know that fellow. I know her too. Isn't that strange that you have played out a scenario of someone IO know intimately? Gotta love it . ..
