Homemade Peach Cobbler (Romance Contest)

It's not always
Candlelit dinners,
Red roses,
Dresses and suits...

Sometimes
It's him pressing his leg against mine
Underneath the table.

It's making homemade peach cobbler
Or curled up in bed with a book

It's late night trips to no where,
Just to drive and listen to music

It's a tent and a campfire
In the backyard

It's those "just because" moments
That keep the romance alive.

Well executed and said !
Can't say it better myself.
Thank you for sharing.

Geezer

along and was congratulating you for such a fine example of writing a love poem WITHOUT using the word "love" when low and behold; in the very last line; appears the very word not supposed to be there! Ahhhhhhhhh! ~ Geez.

Keep the fire burning in a relationship. Those late night drives together to nowhere just to listen to music or just to view the stars together are also excellent kindle burning moments. Thank you for this fine romantic poem with its various examples of unspoken love imagery. I enjoyed reading it very much. PS - I like your poem’s title.
