Hi MariVal,
This is a well done poem of very vivid tersets of a deep love, passion and reverence. I like the line 'at the open window of your soul' the best. Also you have good personification of the wind.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Have a great holiday season.
Joan

I love the beautiful images and color used in this design.

The piece is amazing. It is a blessing to find passion with the right person. It is like being everywhere all at once. All the memories of previous engagements wound into the sheer excitement of a new endeavor.

Thank you for sharing your work.

Ah Gypsy Queen(((((,
first read through, I got caught up in the romance and passion, how beautiful it all sounds and reads...
All I want to do is to taste the salt on your lips...
As the sun rises and sets in your eyes
where my happiness starts and ends
at the open windows of your soul.

So on the second, third, fourth read, it actually makes me sad in the thought of a lost illusion that may have once been... something that resurfaces in times of need, or want... in nothing more than dreams.

But regardless how I allow myself to be tangled up in the emotional side, you have created a magical free verse that has levels of passion and high emotion.

Beautifully composed and presented MariVal.

With our thoughts we create...
sweet dreams.

Warmest regards,
James.

Thank you, James. You know how much I treasure your reviews and I know it's not an easy thing to do.

I write a lot so I know how long takes to follow. But I trust you.

You always know exactly how I feel when I write my poems... it's amazing to me. Are you my brother from another mother? LoL an American joke.

Goodnight

I think the thought of being at the edge of lips you desire is a beautiful way to fall into the ecstasy of it. Hmmmm, I love lipping lip-to-lip!
Who knows... could be your Brother from another Mother(which is also a saying here) No joke though... it's a family thing, the one you collect upon the journey.

When it comes to poetic description of love and passion, none can top you, Gypsy. I bet your words caused many of your male readers to fall in love, and the females, to envy!
Your works are always so perfect! Not just your words-You always choose the right color scheme and presentation, as well,
Thank you, Gypsy!

Gypsy this is beautiful! You are so talented and I swear you are the best with Haiku!
This poem is stunning though it speaks of love and passion and passion is so much more. When there's love. Think you've got a gorgeous background, lovely color choices, beautiful pictures, great job. I really enjoyed this one!

Ow this is a stunningly beautiful, well written piece of romantic poetry!! the vividly descriptive imagery is wonderful, ie,
"jealous of the wind
that kisses your gold-sprinkled skin
and gets tangled in your hair".
This is truly beautiful!

This sounds so erotic and intense and the title itself tantalises us before we read your evocative words, I enjoyed the journey here, much enjoyed, love Dolly x x x
