Beneath the Milky Way

Upon a beach of silken sand, neath nighttime's wondrous skies Stars aglow of heavens hand, soft moon beams fill your eyes With gentle seas awash the shore, the scent of ocean wind A shooting star our smiles explore, as dreams once more begin Now glistening on waters blue, a hypnotizing light Illuminates this love so true, I feel for you this night In solitude of gentle flow, the touch of fingertips A canopy of evening glow, my kiss upon your lips This universe is ours to hold, amongst the stars we'll play Of secrets now our hearts have told, beneath the Milky Way

Very romantic, Chris. I can hear the Isley Bros song, "Living for the Love of You" while reading this wonderful poem. Excellent mood poem, my friend. Much love to you. RW

My kiss upon your lips...So so lovely...this line...and the touch of fingertips in solitude of gentle flow create a calm beauty...Endearingly romantic.

Haven't been on soup in a while, coming back to this made me realize all that I've missed, swooning to your sentiments, playful and sensual Chris.
