Celtic Tones--Dark Side of the Moon

Above a ridge, knowing not how on some parcel of a lucent dome, we meander to breathe in the vapor of moonlight , gently burying her crown upon breasts of valleys endowing a lush ritual: the great gig in the sky... of trees rustling in a prance, of a wind cascading unto a Celtic musicale, glossy lips of dandelions that speak to me through you, whisking our laughter on the run so mellow in autumn’s new eclipse. Even when jewelled stars play-- between us and them—our glides become faster, that the world heaves with us, open to love’s charm undefined by time... how we spill into a hundred portraits borne from an unrelenting joy which hours or money cannot buy...then forgetting what ancient tales have revealed : the heart with fiery ardour causes brain damage...going, going, gone! Looking up, I hear you whisper, “ Touch any color you want,” as hues change from apricot to orange. Yet before pointing to the sky, bold moonlight hides, allowing us to defrock warm kisses under her gently dark silhouette.

Congratulations! I never read this and sure missed a beauty, very poetical, indeed. Beautiful imagery, all song titles were beautifully woven in except that hard one, 'The Great Gig in the Sky' which no one successfully 'hid' in my opinion - it stands out so. Excellent ... CayCay

The love joy of this poem has made feel good about the woman I love Nette. A ritual between two hearts. You present an invigorating landscape, Allowing us to defrock warm kisses under her gently dark silhouette..." that just warms me nicely Nette...J.A.B.
