Midnight Memories

Midnight memories of moonlit bay
When in his arms young passion lay
Beneath the twilight prior to dawn
He the prince and she the swan

With an exchange of funny quips
He craved sweet nectar of her lips
Citrus notes from her perfume
Intoxicating thoughts consume

Ignited passion in their eyes
Fuelled by fun and restful sighs
Just one touch upon her skin
Awoke the lust and carnal sin

Now love cascades down delicate flesh
Like cellist and cello bodies mesh
Entangled dreams and shared desires
Merging in those raging fires

Exploding waves upon the rocks
It’s open now, Pandora’s box
Friendship gone - it’s something else
What happens when the passion melts?!

Really good rhyme and rhythm here. Nice imagery. Excellent poem. he ending asks what happens when the passion melts. Unfortunately if all you have is passion when that is gone so is the relationship. Great job here. God Bless, JB

I can so relate to this wonderful poem. Especially the final stanza. This flowed so smoothly and the rhymes were spot on but the theme is what gripped me and held me. Beautifully done.
