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 1-31-19

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!

"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

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!

Thank you Andrea... You should revisit that poem later, maybe your muse will give you something new..

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
