Love Is

Love is like brushing the air of the night
of a gentle first kiss
to capture this flame of life
awoken in the darkness
hidden deep within my soul
this power surges through
like the blood of life
of this passion
that burns within

Tender

Touching poem Maggie with a lovely soft tone and rhythm. I think if it was me I might consider shortening the first line just to "Love is like brushing the night air". May be also "flickering" rather than "awoken" since it is a flame involved. Keith
