Burning Desire

Stars above flicker from afar As moonbeams shimmer on the sea lovers stroll into the night In love's embrace they spar Trees sway gently in the breeze Dancing in the moonlight The song of love is playing sweet And with kisses they tease Their passion soon ignites a fire As in ecstasy they meet With eyes twinkling like a star And love is a burning desire Soon their hearts begin to race As they caress the glowing trace that shines upon their lovers face in the heat of their embrace 2-15-2020

hey, I just now saw this was an example of your new contest. Do you want the title we used inside the poem we write? can you let me know by soupmail or at my poems? I don't usually see replies made to my comments.

I used to think love was a human emotion but over the years I have discovered, "love" is most generally bought and sold like a commodity. True love is extremely rare between humans. With that being said, I loved your poem, Joseph. I am a cynical stick in the mud:)
