Sing me another love song
Because I have forgotten
Your affection in a letter
The sun has been hiding
Behind snow covered hills
Do you recall spring nights
Your hands cupping my face
With tender persuasion
That’s what I like
Making love with no words
Just the sound of the rain falling
Just the hush of leaves swaying
And as you kiss me
with a gentle dedication, I’ll recall
the words of another love song

DeleteHave to agree with Mary and Brian, that was a great stanza. Agreeing with Brian, something has to be wrong there...lol...no words needed, as your shine through.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat for the visit ~
DeleteLove that line 'gentle dedication'--says so much about the relationship. An excellent love poem and great take on the prompt, Heaven.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hedge for the lovely comments ~
DeleteFor me its the cupping of the face with tender persuasion, well the rain and leaves too, and the sun behind the hills--but the tender persuasion sounds like a reminder--which is what you ask for in the poem--sweet love poem. K.
ReplyDeleteis absolutely nice dear, really,and I think is wonderful but sadly sometimes I dont believe in that now, is something special? only is by a time? we really not see when is ? I dont know or maybe Im so tired todaY,
ReplyDeleteBut is absolutely nice, you and Brian ar my favorites, sometime smake smile or cry or feel nice:)
You've done it again, Heaven. Incredibly sensual but subtly so. I've missed being here. My favourite lines:
ReplyDelete"Your hands cupping my face
With tender persuasion
That’s what I like
Making love with no words
Just the sound of the rain falling
Just the hush of leaves swaying"
Getting hot in here...I think I need a shower!
This is beautiful and sensual...you have created with your words what Joan longed for in her song.
ReplyDeleteI love the peaceful, mellow feel of this. The last stanza is my favorite.

The thread of tenderness, passion and gentleness captivated the senses.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this. The tone is perfect for the text.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I like.
ReplyDeleteWith gentle dedication, I love that....this feels Sunday morning , can't get outta bed because its warm and safe in there, its where the touching with gentle dedication takes place, "we should get up"....yeah right.The day will wait.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully lyrical. I like how you took Joan's lyrics and made them your own.
ReplyDeleteYour hands cupping my face is something that I haven't heard in years and it brings back livid memories.
ReplyDeleteI also feel the need to have love put in words too, beside being shown in other ways ;)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful write. (I hope booguloo didn't really mean "livid" memories.)
ReplyDeleteK
I think he meant vivid memories ~ Ha..ha..

ReplyDeleteLovely. I like the reference to winter's hidden sun, and the comment about spring, which infers things changed during the intervening seasons.......well done!
ReplyDeleteRomantic
ReplyDeleteOne love is not enough :)
ReplyDeleteLovely work.
ReplyDeleteHaha. I'm speechless. My boyfriend is a musician and there have been times, lots of times, when I lay on my bed in the night, listening to him playing yet another love song on his guitar for me. You have captured those special moments so vividly in your words. I loved it. :)
ReplyDeletethis is sooooo beautiful <3 <3
ReplyDeleteAs everyone else, I loved these lines -
"Making love with no words
Just the sound of the rain falling
Just the hush of leaves swaying
And as you kiss me
with a gentle dedication, I’ll recall
the words of another love song"
Loved the image of being kissed with another song dedicated to you ... awesome!
