Contest : If This Was The Last

Sponsored by : Silent One

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your ebony hair curled and cascaded untamed, some swirled in the stream of craving squall, some laced the lilting lattice of lust on your forehead of ivory canvas, engraving the contours of the evanescent charisma. I wondered if this was your last image, I would glimpse flicker in the wind to fade in oblivion, if there was no tomorrow. Your almond eyes of the azure sea waltzed to the melodic waves of fervent music, the eyelids danced with the flutter of butterfly, floating in the air of yearning on charming wings, weaving the wondrous fabric of trance. I wondered if this was your last dream, I would deem drift away in the wind to wilderness, if there was no tomorrow. Your crimson cheeks soaked to shine the patina of the blooming rose I adored, spreading seductive scent in the beguiled breeze, with the touch of my desire caressing your face, rippling with rapturous hues of glowing glamour. I wondered if this was your last portrait, in the twilight hour I would see it glow, if there was no tomorrow. The buds of rose bloomed on your luscious lips, swathed in the lilac luster of the sunburst dawn, the attractive allure glinted with gorgeous glow like pearls of dew on pristine petals of pink rose, shining like a star in the sequined sky. I wondered if this was your last smile, I would sense in my memory the stardust stow, if there was no tomorrow.

Congratulations on your first place in my contest.. It was a difficult decision to select first place, but you just edged it.. The imagery is just brilliant in this, you have weaved together a poem so vivid with descriptive words like ebony hair curled, crimson cheeks, and pearls of dew on pristine petals... The ending is perfect for your poem and the theme... I would sense in my memory the stardust stow, if there was no tomorrow.. Thanks for writing for my contest.
