Notes About The Poem

contest Keep, Knock, Knotty words

sponsor Constance La France

Keep

I keep your beauty in my heart
like a precious jewel...that shines
in a twilight's trembling realm of passion
   seen in molten candlelight
whose flame will keep the intimate kiss
with all its contours rendered in a shade of perfection
that falls upon your face and hair
   where my eyes are lost
as your beauty welcomes me and my perpetual gaze
   where I cross-time
and find the unmeasurable distance between our eyes
   they reveal an enduring silence
that binds us to bountiful dreams of majesty
that allows all our senses to transform
   in a bond of purity
where all is understood when passion has flowered
in our secret garden of violin strings
and musical interludes we hear within
that play in the well of our heartbeats
and echo through the valley of a rising moon
   where we dance in silhouette
beneath a starry sky of goodness and grace
until a universe of velvet dreams pours over us
   like morning dew
in an emotional flowing warmth that tingles the skin
and drips upon the earthen ground
to sanctify the sacredness of our souls
that we keep as a beloved bestowal
that's given to those we find worthy of our love

“ in a twilight's trembling realm of passion” what a line! So unique and brilliant and how heartfelt is this romantic poem! I love the opening lines and also how you’ve expressed how important they are to you using imagery and descriptive wordplay in sheer eloquence: you truly have a way with words. Soulfully divine! Definitely a fave for me! Goodluck in the contest
