Oh So Tender

In the glow of firelight oh so tender
I watched him realize with surprise
That he liked the green of my eyes
Witnessed only by faint light of ember

The person he asked about me
Had a slim sense of humor
A great grandma with tumor
And was filled with jealousy

My then boyfriend whispered about it all night
None of it my fault
Rubbing wound with salt
I decided to take my final swift flight

Our meeting at an innocent bonfire
So romantic and real
Gave both of us a great feel
My new husband and I, now inspire!

Lovely! : ) Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 9/20/2018 12:01:00 AM Thank you Connie. I do not do "love" poems often, but this idea hit me, and my muse is so efficient and goes ahead of me often into places I think we cannot go.

Rhona Mcferran Date: 9/19/2018 4:13:00 AM Lovely poem. I especially LOVE that part, "I watched him realize with surprise/ That he liked the green of my eyes", because it reminds me of the 'dawning' look my husband had when he realized I was "the one"! Even after all these years- every once in a while, he still looks at me with that certain sense of wonder- and it's priceless!!
