For the next six weeks (leading up to Valentine’s Day) Lonely Author will dedicate most of his posts to his favorite subject; that thing called “Love.”
Melted
We shared glances from a distance
Like beacons in a crowded room
Our bodies gravitated to the center
fingers entwined like bride and groom
dance floor darkened like the universe
yet I found myself basking in her light
cheek to cheek we swayed in unison
flames of passions dancing with delight
Intoxicated by her scent skin and touch
was she feeling the wonders that I felt
adjoining hearts performed a sweet ballet
I shrunk inside my shirt my pants my belt
suddenly she was no longer in my arms
lights go on as the music is finally done
finding our empty shoes I suddenly realize
this beauty and I slowly melted into one
Romantic. It’s probably a bit racy for me given my sensitive nature, but don’t worry, I read it with my eyes shut.

You’re welcome. You write romantic poetry very well. I wish I could. I can read it and I can appreciate it, but I just can’t write it. I’m always left scratching my head and trying to think of a good rhyme for elbows or something.

Haha! Oh, the romance. Still, it could be worse. If the subject of the poem was a charming young medical student, you might have to try finding rhymes for pancreas and gall bladder as well.
