Amaranthine

lightning dances~
into cosmic strips of light
illuminating moonless night
as his silhouette sails with hers
succumbing swiftly
into each other's spell
in interlude of idyllic impasse~

as they merge 
into the abyss
of amaranthine darkness~
thunder orchestrated 
a grandiose finale

JCB, congratulations on your win in Brian's contest! Your images are amazing examples of creative wonder - "cosmic strips of light," "his silhouette sails with hers." And I love the metamorphic storm - so utterly romantic! Blessings dear friend!
