Midnight Aurora Poet Acrostic

Great Escape

Gorging on the splendour of your body slowly waking,
recalling your silhouette in the midnight hour.
Embers of twilight’s essence softly envelope me,
as the morning sun kisses with a gossamer plea,
tempting the senses to compete; real life or heaven’s retreat?

Evading life’s burdens with you by my side –
society’s nibbles, sworn enemies, and snides –
calmness prevails, forgetting all that’s acidic
and I’m utterly absorbed by your enthralling aura,
perpetuating pleasure no mortal could ever stop.
Every second of you, divine, great beloved of mine.

Beata Agustin May 22, 2025 at 1:47 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Silent One November 7, 2020 at 6:38 AM Hey have you really escaped? Hope you are well.. long time no see..

James Inman July 13, 2020 at 11:14 PM Interesting write. As I read it initially it seemed a passionate, well written yet simple love poem, but, after rereading it several times, a spirituality comes through and changes my perception to one of fealty to a divine being. Enjoyed the read MA.
