Judith S Poet Sonnet

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

Andrea Dietrich January 31, 2018 at 12:57 AM 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! Judith S January 31, 2018 at 10:20 AM Yessss Andrea!! This was my first sonnet and first contest! A challenge for sure. I had to look up most of those words to see what they meant lol. I didn't place either :( But I learned alot :) Thank you for your wonderful comments and visits !!!!! ~Judy
