"Mommy & Daddy are in Love!"
© 2006, Basil Sands

Silken skin
Softer than a dream
Delicately smooth
As the back of my fingers caress
Up her arm
Across her neck

Tenderly pressing my lips
Against her blushing cheek

A gentle smile creases her face
She lays her head into my chest
Softly murmured words of love
Glide across a sea of enchantment

The children burst in
Full of energy
Abruptly halting,
Staring
Ruddy faces grinning

Giggly voices loudly proclaim
"Mommy & Daddy are in Love!"

Basil., Good imagery and switchback. Reminds me of the time I busted in on my parents! Light prose, the first stanza particularly moving. Thanks.

Beautiful poetry, or prose poetry-my favorite kind. I love the imagery of the lovers first, then parents again, so suddenly!
