Billie Jama Poet Free verse

Cosmic in Her Gaze

The whirlpool stars of the Milky Way appeared when she was feeling grey.
Mother-of-pearl constellations shimmered across her skin in the candlelight.
Saturn’s red rings spiraled wildly at her climax—
A solar flare unleashed in breathless surrender.
Turquoise desire bled into solemn greys,
And those greys married verdant dreams, swirling in slow motion.
To gaze at her was to weightless drift in a heavenly sky,
A vacation from this unforgiving world.
Her allure was all-encompassing, enchanted and unique,
Spiraling me into a pheromone-induced high
Each time she glided by like moonlight on water.
She was a celestial mesh of chaos and charm
Unreachable, until the universe paused and she murmured, stay.

Susan Ashley May 24, 2025 at 7:58 AM Dear Billie, the ethereal and emotional beauty of your verse is breathtaking. I was captivated by your use of rich, romantic imagery and metaphors, "she glided by like moonlight on water" - a stunning moment, one among many in this tactile and textured cosmic piece. I especially adored "She was a celestial mesh of chaos and charm" - perfectly captures why one would be held under the spell of such a mesmerizing being. Belated congrats for POTD! A worthy choice.
