Mate- Not For Contest

M ystical flaring~~~
 ~~~of body and soul
A lluring oneness~~~
~~~not broken but whole
T ime lies unmeasured~~~
 ~~~in torrid embrace
E xquisite rapture~~~ 
~~~shines out from each face

Should this not be mystical flaring, excellent follow on from your muse. Take care, Richard

OK...took your advice MR Seal....mystical flaring it is! :) I wrote this one first, to be honest. I hadn't read the directions for the contest and wanted something no one would think of....AFTER I wrote it, I realize there were words to choose from so I went for MUSE. Mr. SEAL....THAT was a follow up on THIS! :)

WOW, This acrostic is awesome. The rhyme is superb and the vivid description of a mated union is simply incredible. You have outdone yourself Eileen. Of all your work that I have read this is my favorite so far. I am blown away by this poem.

ahhh, I hope your other one is as lovely!!! glad to see you get inspired by a four letter word! I read what you said in Frank's blog. it's scary what is going on and especially if it's all contrived?? Soup mail me if you know any details that are being hidden from the public. I am so curious about these things.

Oh dear...my husband is a news buff...He watches the news whenever he gets the chance, and the radio blares it all all night while we sleep! ;) Ok...he does have it on low, but...seriously, imagine waking up to that? Oh well, it could take pages...I will ask him for some info when he gets home and get bake to ya.

Wow Eileen....maybe I should have asked for the clone of this mate instead of the muse, can I have both of them all rolled up in one? : ) This one ROCKS as well! Well done! Hugs
