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.

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. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Dear Billie, So utterly mesmerizing-a POTD dance of longing and wonder. The way you blend starlight, planets, and desire into human emotion is breathtaking, echoing the timeless tradition of poets who use celestial imagery to capture love’s mystery and transcendence. You’ve written a universe-enchanting, luminous, and unforgettable POTD. Congrats! Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Thanks sis your support always means so much to me. Haha yes we do have a lot of cats (4) that's Ginger. Nova is the little black and white cat that Sara brought from America with her. It was Ginger Mr. Pretty's 8th birthday just recently on the 10th. There were my boys originally but they're all our cats now, aren't they?.

Oh, Billie how entrancing to be described in such a beautiful array of accolades. You sing her praises and put her on the pedestal worthy of a goddess. She must be! "Moonlight on water..." that's adulating. Last line exposes the heart in its full emotional glory. Congratulations on having your lines recognized as poem of the day.
