MAY 2018 STANDARD CONTEST,ANY FORM OR NONE,ANY THEME,UP TO A MAX OF 20 LINES

Awarded: Second place in Summer love Sonnet contest

Beneath a star studded...black velvet sky I see myself...as I am...in your eyes Moon beams...abreast...the Bay of Evermore Where rolling waves come...to break on the shore Embers still glowing...inflamed once again Dance to the din...of the Ocean's refrain Sweat...wood and brine...a scent simply divine A perfume of passion...misting my mind You and me on a trip...of ecstasy In the heat of the night...cooled by a breeze Where those rolling waves...of emotions...ride In the wake of a never ending tide Where the moon and the stars...so high above Look down...in silence...on our summer love. Written: May 15, 2015 Author: Elaine Cecelia George of Canada
