                                                                                                                                                                      Under the Mistletoe
                                                                                                                                                                     1924 oil painting
                                                                                                                                                                      The Norman Rockwell Treasury
 

 


                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                  

                                                                                                        

                                                                                                    The Kiss

                                                                                                                                                                                                                         


                                                                                                        Of Sweetness asks
                                                                                                        The warming Heart,
                                                                                                        Ever must we
                                                                                                        Be apart?

                                                                                                        Not ever, Love,
                                                                                                        To Heart, says she,
                                                                                                        My sweetness comes
                                                                                                        With thoughts of thee.

                                                                                                        And so the Sweet
                                                                                                        Naught in amiss
                                                                                                        Enamors Heart
                                                                                                        To beg the kiss.

I don't know about you all out there, but this one literally made me blush. Who wouldn't beg a kiss from their sweety? How true and well written it is: "My sweetness comes with thoughts of thee." Succinct and point scored!

Richard,

What extraordinary beauty!!! It was like opening a 3-tiered gift; Norman Rockwell's art, Richard Orey's poetry..and Il Divo!!!

Nights in White Satin is one of my all-time favorite songs, Richard, which I used to play on my guitar. Occasionally, I still play it on my piano..but oh, the three-fold treasure you have bestowed upon me this evening..
I thank you, Sir.

Love&Blessings, Rhonda

I just finished reading "A Walk in My Garden" and it reminded me that we have similar poems as I have a poem entitled "My Secret garden". I also have a poem called "The Kiss", but like your's much better than my own. Your poetry always touches my heart and brings to mind my favorite, Emily Dickinson. I adore the beautiful old world style you use. Makes the reading of your poetry a true pleasure. Some of the contemporary poets of today who are getting such great accolades from editors and reviewers make me want to grind my teeth. It's refreshing and comforting to know there are still poets like you who write with such beauty and warmth. Elizabeth

Sir Richard, it has been said of another poet of late that we as poets should be concentrating more on critquing the poem and drawing less attention to tickling the egos of other writers.

I disagree! There are too many bashing away at others poems leaving some to pull away and run from AD.

A word of praise is worth more than gold to some and can inspire some to become great poets!

This poem is short and sweet, but 'Kiss' is the answer to many problems in our world. You have loved and cherished a woman for many years and this my freind makes you one I admire! In admiration, holly
