Midnight Romance

Midnight Romance We float, he and I, on sable sand shore As ivory mist on morn’ horizon Cerulean wake stretches back and fore Porcelain skin glowing pink with wanton I am obsessed by his ash of rose lips Inviting me to taste his sweet desire A passionate kiss as my soul he grips Embracing as doth charcoal into fire Aching with desire my crimson heart burns He lays me on the soft absinthe grass His obsidian eyes voice what he yearns I succumb then as the waves gently crash Sleep smoke clears not at all what it did seem My midnight romance was naught but a dream For Poetry Contest: Midnight Romance Sponsored by: Dale Gregory Cozart Romantic Sonnet. 14 lines.

This one down here brought back memories of when I was using those words too. i don't think I won and it bummed me out (unless I am mixing up with another word contest). At least we ended up with GREAT sounding poems using these words.They inspired great beauty!
