contest 2024 Not for Contest Poetry Contest

sponsor Silent One

As you are my love beneath a full moon
a rendered silhouette in splayed light
our arms are empty as our eyes consume
in wondrous dreams that lay before the night
the scent of fragrant love shares its rapture
fills the senses with our sensual glance
when emotion overtakes and capture
we treasure the heart of our jeweled romance
how quiet and naked is our desire
how tenderly warm our hands are when held
closer to the edge of moments prior
when lips softly touch and begin to meld
as the mouth of lover's drip nectared bliss
slowly their lips will part from their first kiss

Oh, this is such an eloquent and romantically resplendent poem, hued with the elegant shimmers of love and its bliss.. Your rhymes here are impeccably smooth, creating an exquisite flow and your wordplay is so delicate.. "we treasure the heart of our jeweled romance", wow.. Wonderfully knitted.. Quite enticing and poetically gorgeous!
