In Your Embrace

In embrace of your love, blossoms my eager night,
Strumming themes romantic fervid passions recite

Invoked by scarlet-eventide glinting arc of twilight
As final breaths of dimming-day golden rays ignite

Signaling to emotive vibes twinkling on starry skies
Now’s the time for constellations to bedazzle eyes

In magenta, red nebulae buoying upon stellar seas 
Navigating tides of joy as smiles of Venus appease

When enamored we stroll lauding exuberance of glee
Bequeathed by dreams, mystiques of desires spree,

In missives of forever-love verses of hearts decree
Responding to overtures, aspirations intimate plea,

Giving voice to latent hints echoing proffers of soul
Vying reveries esoteric sensuous heartbeats cajole

Prodding us to waltz, to rhythms of nocturnal tune,
Attuning beats of hearts beneath love-struck moon.

Some brilliant verses my friend. The ending 4 verses especially so! ""Giving voice to latent hints echoing proffers of soul Vying reveries esoteric sensuous heartbeats cajole Prodding us to waltz, to rhythms of nocturnal tune, Attuning beats of hearts beneath love-struck moon.'' A definite fav and a gem as well.
