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. 14th January 2020 Great Escape Contest sponsored by John Hamilton

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.

Love ‘gossamer plea!’ Used to go for early morning walks into the green fields in India and that’s what you see! Great Work! Midnight!

Thanks John...I'm off restricting myself again with acrostics both ways. No more...lol...think I'll give the natural way ago now... Thanks for the challenge and the win. These contests are a good way to get you thinking in ways you wouldn't usually...
