Howard Kerr Poet Romanticism

Age Related Courtship

Sylphlike  moon,
  weaves a curtain,
   of lucent,
enamoured  spells,
  on nose rub,
   fervent flames,
 nocturnal courtship,
  romantic ritual relish,
    golden soul wooers,
   of diverse ages,
   spanning spectrum,
      from incipient,
       first flush sighs,
          lavish cuddles, 
             spirited elation,
            to middle years,
      pearlescent  passion,
       whose impermeable love,
 seal a robust fortress,
            boldly withstanding,
     fortune shifts, 
          wanton butterflies,
        vicissitudes, life mutations, 
            a seamless transit to,
      twilight romance halos,
     of the stoic advanced,
  otherworldly other halves,
    whose focussed  eye gleam,
     eros never dampened,
      as the silver moon peers,
      behind  coconut hue’d, 
         dream cloud afloat,
     oe’r elder hearty squeezes,
          still locked,
     in hugs sensual

Sotto Poet September 27, 2026 at 6:02 AM Such a great and a complex tapestry of imagery and emotion, Howard. The richness of language highlights love's journey through life's various stages. A bit dense, but rewarding for those who explore its depth.
