In Land of Cockaigne

Seductively she says ~ there’s a place I know Unspoiled by misery of dreaded human woe Where perfumed winds of amour gently blow As embers of doting night in moonlight glow When blossoms of romance fantasies unfold Titillating beat of yearnings passions behold. Streets we traverse are paved in glittering gold With matching motifs on homes ornately bold Bestowing upon citizens gift of esoteric solace Resembling kingdom utopian, idyllic and flawless Exempt from mortal worries, luxuriating carefree On paradisiacal beaches of turquoise blue sea. On wings of her charm we roam a magical day As signs of peace and prosperity lead the way Where mythical gems glimmer cozy life of leisure And sensual desires inflame eternal pleasure Pulsing my heartbeats in rhythms of her glee Strumming whispers of love she crooned to me. When mystical fairy scintillates garden of bliss The land of Cockaigne cheers for a starlit kiss As two souls cuddle lovingly in heavenly zeal Ablaze in ecstasy enchanting euphoric appeal In zest of yellow primrose, scent of sacred rose-- Granting my dreams then discreetly she goes. November 25, 2020 Placed 1st: Pick-A-Title, Vol 25 – Rhyme 2 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh Title chosen: In Land of Cockaigne Placed 1st: Your choice (45) contest by Brian Strand

"Seductively she says ~ there’s a place I know" Already I am loving this, because she is aware of where she is taking you. Beyond dreamy moments of "enchanting ecstasy.. While "On wings of her charm we roam" This is so beautiful and romantic. Magical. :) Brandy
