It’s the Slightest Things
The slightest golden glint
of sunlight in your hair,
with your playful loving touches
make me slightly more aware.
The bare essence of your beauty
is a need I want to crave.
Was that just an imagined glance
with the slightest grin you gave?
Your slightest playful smile
guarantees my rich reward.
There’s every precious memory
in our hearts forever stored.
Intimate moments that embolden
and fatefully stir our slightest urge.
Two lives with hearts committed
that steadily and faithfully merge.
Without any slightest care
or conceivable hesitation,
dancing to life’s rhythms
delighting in every fascination.
Now with happiness entwined
in our absolute devotion,
these slightest sweetest moments
intensify love’s intoxicating potion.
A Note From Chris
I wrote this poem almost 2 years ago and I must admit that I have done the “slightest” little bit of a re-write on it! It was one of my first attempts and I had a gut feeling that it could benefit from some more sweat and fret! I am very happy with the changes and I hope you can find the “slightest” amount of time to read and enjoy! I am posting this selection for d’Verse Poets Pub ~ Open Link Night ~ Week 47.

This wraps about you in a satisfactory way, it just feels perfect
Chris…I’ve put in a killer day today…suddenly, none of that matters. The image, the words…nothing better to come home to! Thank you so much for getting home in time to join in OPenLinkNight…this was fantastic!
Tash, I am thrilled that you loved it so much! This one is very close to my heart (like a child) ~ I know that you feel the same way about so much of your work! I am so appreciative of your praises today! Thanks again! Chris
Ah to be in love and those sweet. sweet moments…

Really nice rhyme here. A definite lyrical quality to the piece. Staggering the aesthetics is a great touch, I always love having the poem itself dictate where your eyes move, creating an immediate, and organic sense of pace and flow. As for revision, I think everything we do, stands to benefit from revision, although, speaking personally, it’s the one thing in writing I never really enjoy doing, my downfall I guess. Very nice job here, and whatever changes you’ve made, they worked out well. Thanks
Beautifully and eloquently written. Thank you for sharing. I enjoy all of your poetry.
Millie, You are so very kind as always ~ You Made My Day! Thanks!
it is the little things you know…those small touches…that is where the magic is at…the sun on the hair…and smile at just the right time…i like…smiles.
