Juli- Michelle Poet Sonnet

Midnight Romance

More sensual than the cerulean sky
More still than the ash of roses at dusk
This charcoal haven that hosts you and I
Beneath the moon's dimming ivory tusk

My love, can you taste absinthe in the air,
Lingering sweetly between these pale lips?
Fingering cheeks of porcelain, so fair
Heart racing when fingers slide to my hips

The world turns crimson when two lips collide
Yes, more sensual than sunset is this
My fingers entwined in your sable locks
In the heat, in the smoke of midnight's kiss.

Your obsidian eyes wake from the trance
As ends this session of midnight romance.

John Hamilton October 11, 2017 at 10:39 PM Outstanding sonnet Juli-Michelle, loved every word except absinthe gotta look that one up, great vocabulary, this should do well in the contest. John Hamilton November 2, 2017 at 5:38 PM Didn't know this was for a contest, and the words were required so I retract my previous comment! Juli- Michelle October 13, 2017 at 3:15 PM Thank you John, in this case absinthe is being used to refer more to the alcoholic absinthe, greenish in color and quite intoxicating, thanks for the tip though ;)

Susan Ashley October 11, 2017 at 8:07 PM Such a passionate and romantic write Juli-Michelle. Great and effortless use of the required words, they flow so naturally through your lovely lines of beautiful imagery. Good luck in the contest!
