The Blaze of Autumn. . She stood there like womanly Venus Among the mild autumns Blaze of rustic blaze of copper and hues of gold Shards of filtered sunlight Shone upon her soft textured silken tresses And with beguiling eyes so full of beauty and wonder Filling my heart with warm rapture and sweet delight . The whole world suddenly disappeared around me Transfixed I watched the diamond stars Twinkle in her smiling shining eyes And as I melted like ice I felt butterflies flutter inside . My thirst for her sumptuous lips was such And my loving fingers Yearned to softly touch The warmest blissful breeze Swept through my soul As at last she gave herself for me to hold , Hungered sugar kisses Turned into a feast of frenzy Becoming intoxicated By loves addictive heady wine With shallow rapid breath and urgency As we kissed the hours goodbye Losing all sense of thought and time . Suddenly the sun shone brighter As the pretty flower bloomed The bee did linger Morning dew bathed the garden As shooting stars flew across the moon Two kindred hearts aflame Upon their honeymoon. , Peter Dome©2020.

Romantic honeymoon (the last line hit me) -which your lines led to this, such thoughts of love’s hunger and thirst for each other. Beautiful and congrats for the win.
