Starbright As I gaze into indigo skies, Stars are brighter tonight, Twinkling in the darkness Of a new moon. Orion's belt enchants My impassioned heart As my thoughts of you soar In a dimension devoid Of Time's constraints. Let me feel the warmth of your Strong arms wrapped 'round me As we breathe in the scent Of night blooming jasmine. You are my summer nights— In my dreams of us On cool cotton sheets While Bach serenades us in Rainbows of ribbons~ In a symphony of sounds~ Your skin glistens, And I am lost in love. 8-21-22 (French translation) Starbright Comme j'ai regarder dans le ciel indigo, Les étoiles sont plus lumineux, ce soir, Scintillant dans l'obscurité D'une nouvelle lune. Ceinture d'Orion enchante Mon coeur passionné Comme mes pensées de vous atteindre Dans une dimension dépourvue Des contraintes de temps. Je voudrais sentir la chaleur de votre Bras forts enveloppés "autour de moi Que nous respirons le parfum Fleur Jasmin de nuit. Vous êtes mes nuits d'été-- Dans mes rêves de nous Sur des draps en coton cool Bien que Bach sérénades nous dans un Arc en ciel de rubans ~ Dans une symphonie de sons ~ Votre peau scintille, Et je suis perdu dans l'amour. 8-21-22 ~Second Place~ The Meaning of Love Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Anoucheka Gangabissoon ____________________________________________ 7-22-2016 ~First Place~ Best Love Poem EVER Contest Judged: 8/27/2016 Sponsored by: Lu Loo

Actually, my French isn't very good either. I learned it myself, worked for the French and lived a little in France. En tout cas, c'est plaisir de voir qu'une personne aime une langue étrangère)

Congratulations on this one. I do not really speak French, but since it is 'big; Latin derived words I sort of get it in French as well. It sounds even more beautiful in the original, even just the sound of it. Many wishes, Kai
