And what is love?
Surely not the fleeting butterflies in summer.
It’s your everydayness that gets
My fingers twirling absentmindedly
Tracing contours of a body on fire.
Blow me a kiss, then!
For I love your company.

Wonderful … as always … Beautiful!
Oooh this is absolutely stunning!!❤️ Khaya 😀 welcome back! I love the idea of ‘everydayness’ symbolizing feelings of love! Such a deeply contemplative poem 😀 and oh those candles are just divine! (I too am enthusiastic when it comes to candles) Thank you so much for participating! It’s so good to have you with us!❤️
Lots of love,
Sanaa
I love this image…the flicker of love, the tiny light it gives.
“It’s you everydayness.” Love that!
If a kiss comes knocking on your door, let it in–it’s from me. I just couldn’t help myself, after your poem asked so beautifully.
This is lovely!
Nice!
What a beautiful love poem Khaya 🙂 I love candles too!
Beautiful, Khaya…powerful and slightly brazen ‘Blow me a kiss, then!’! I really like this. Yeah, another candle fan; I just love the light from them, so dreamy, the mind drifting with ease and creating a lovely cosy atmosphere. PS> I would like but for some reason the ‘likes’ are not loading on my computer. Consider it very much LIKED!! ?
Ah yes; i agree, Love is – an everyday thing
much love…
Butterflies are nice, but you’re right. Love made of stronger stuff just enriches the soul.
It has to start somewhere. Wonderful write!

Oh yes, isn’t a candle something to marvel at! Thanks sweet Sanaa.
A flicker of love, indeed. Thank you!
Thank you, Suzie!
Thanks Maga! I caught the kiss as it floats past.?

There’s somethinvg about atmosphere candles create; cosyness. I’m glad you enjoyed this piece, Annika. About the “like” button, I really have no idea what’s issue. I thought I fixed the problem, and it looks functional on my side. But thank you once again for taking time to leave a comment.??
Lovely for you to drop by, Gillena. Much appreciated!
It does enrich the soul, indeed, Rommy!
Thank you, Hank!
What can I say! I’m a romantic at heart.? Unfortunately, I’m still battling this terrible flu, it’s stubborn. Thanks for love and hugs, dear Stacy!
Thank you, Raili!
Beautiful, Khaya. I love the “lightness” in this. 🙂
Thanks Diana! Maybe I should write more about love.?
