I'll love you in a gentle thought,
one that yawns and stretches
across the distance between us,
uncurls its arms and unfurls its brow,
just to snuggle up next to you.
I'll love you in a silent whisper,
blown by a single kiss
on the waves of good intent,
swirling and twirling the span
that separates you and I,
until it lands upon your cheek,
sweet nothings from me to you.
I'll love you any way I can,
and when time lends his favorable hand,
and he's pointed me in the right direction,
I'll love you in the sweetest hug,
and you'll not need anything more.

This is so sweet and beautiful I hate to comment on it, like I'd somehow taint it by doing that. I don't even want to breathe on it. Gorgeous, hun. Just exquisite.

That's just beautiful. I don't know much about poetry, but I really like this one!

Thank you both very much. I can honestly say I am quite happy with this one myself

Have to agree with everyone who posted here. This is something I really can't give a detailed comment on because it just made me go 'awww...'It's very sweet and innocent. I have to agree with Chris here. Poems like these make you want to write. Lovely, Bri.
Ah, the softer side of Bri. I really love the mellow tempo of this, like this is the way it is and this is the way it is supposed to be. Beautiful, Bri.

Awww...this made me think of my kitty when he's being sweet! For some reason, I couldn't get the idea out of my head for the rest of the poem! I liked the notion that this was written from a cat's perspective...although I doubt you intended that.
You have such a novel way of writing poetry, my dear! It is so sensual and sweet, flowing so easily! It's just amazing!
