Love's Mirror

Sky tinged with phosphorescence
  Moon pale, convalescent
    Incandescent lunar crescent

Adolescent lips meet in acquiescence
  Hopes blaze, steamy flourescence
    Hush! thy quiescent quintessence

Shy effervescence, her backdrop incalescence
  Tumescence lurks too, fraught essence
    In Love's Mirror of Evanescence

What a beautiful poem! It makes me think of my granddaughter--not dating, but soon will be! Scary times! :-) Janice

Thank you, Janice... I've changed the wording a bit to improve the poem...and I don't mean to scare you, but you might find it a bit more perilous in regards to your granddaughter. Best wishes, gw

Very cool poem, Gershon. Evanescence, eh. Gotta look that one up. Trip-hop poetry w/such rad lines ... Hopes blaze, steamy fluorescence. Spot-on poetry. Love and smiles always.
