Joseph May Poet Free verse

Beyond the Stars

Dulcet scent of jasmine wafting through the air
 As moonbeams daub the swaying trees with silver hue
 Luna's glow prescribes romance, the twinkling stars
 make love a happenstance, as the wind whispers passion,
perchance ecstasy will ensue.

 I see her silhouette in shapely form moving
 with the rhythm of the trees, my heart flutters
 as she gets nearer, then she falls into my embrace
 and our lips meet, and our passion blazes.
 Was it folly to believe that our love would last forever
 or would it sink into the dank realm of heartbreak
 But that thought perished into the fire of our passion 
 as we blissfully drifted beyond the twinkle of the stars

Silent One February 3, 2019 at 11:18 AM That first line is brilliant, how bizarre, I used the word moonbeam in my poem today and ive seen it in several poems... Joseph May February 3, 2019 at 11:54 AM Thank you SO.

Andrea Dietrich February 2, 2019 at 5:00 PM thanks for your reply here, but hmmm, just don't know. I did use the 8 words already for laura Loo's contest but I was doing theme of death, not romance! Joseph May February 3, 2019 at 11:52 AM Oh ok, Maybe you have to start from scratch

Brandy Nicole January 31, 2019 at 10:40 PM "as we blissfully drifted beyond the twinkle of the stars" Yes, and I love this, as it is so beautiful and romantic. Nothing matters, when being this close. Somewhere beyond the stars. Your thoughts take me there. You certainly have created a masterpiece. Soft sigh. :) Brandy Joseph May February 1, 2019 at 6:15 AM Thank you Brandy

Andrea Dietrich January 31, 2019 at 7:54 PM OMG, you did it!!! You wrote a poem using those words and you did it so romantically. I tried . For two hours I tried and I gave up. This is just wonderful! Joseph May January 31, 2019 at 8:33 PM Thank you Andrea... You should revisit that poem later, maybe your muse will give you something new..

Carolyn Devonshire January 31, 2019 at 3:22 PM You wrote this so beautifully that I wasn't mindful until the end that eight of the words had been prescribed, Joseph. Let's just call my new fave a Mayesque! Surely a winner in the contest. Best wishes, Carolyn Joseph May January 31, 2019 at 5:33 PM Thank you Carolyn, glad the words seemed seamless and thank you for making this "Mayesque" a fave!... :-)
