A Northerly Breeze

Cherry

A northerly breeze
brings a chill to the air
but a pair of lovebirds,
entwined in the twilight,
don’t care.
They bask in the heat
generated by kisses
and intimate embraces.
As the setting sun sinks
in the ocean’s expanse
it modestly blushes
at the sight of their capers
and its reddish glow
reflects in their faces.
Now darkness descends
and the zephyr blows harder.
The nip in the air
may cool the ardour
of our lustful lovers
who still have the choice
to continue their affair
in relative comfort
in bed, under covers.

This is delightful, Luigi. Certainly it's up there with one of my many favourites of yours. Well done on the richly deserved cherry. And now it's time for me to cover the cage, and say 'night-night', to my two lovebirds, of the feathered kind, naturally. Tina xxx

Hi Tina, I hope your feathered lovebirds had a peaceful night and did not get up to mischief under covers. I am always glad to receive your approval for which I thank you. Luigi xxx PS This must be my lucky week: my poetry collection 'Reflections' was favourably reviewed in issue 19 of Gold Dust magazine. If you are interested a free PDF copy can be downloaded at http://www.lulu.com/product/ebook/gold-dust-magazine---issue-19---full-c... Cheers.

I seldom write romantic pieces, Mark, but this came easily to me and practically wrote itself. Thanks for reading and commenting.

I think you should write more romantic pieces, luigi. This is very good indeed.

Submitted by luigi_pagano on
I'll try, oldpesky. The danger of writing something cliched or banal is what holds me back. Thanks for your encouraging remark. Luigi.

Really pleased to hear that, Luigi. I still treasure my copy of 'Reflections', and often dip into it. I shall also peruse the Gold Dust link and hope that many more will do likewise. Have a good week;-) Tina xxx

Nice to hear from you, Julie, and many thanks for letting me know that you liked this poem and like to read romantic ones. The cherries were a nice surprise. It is true that I sometimes put twists in my writing just to give it a bit of zest. I agree that birds are fascinating to watch. Luigi xx
