John Gondolf Poet Rhyme

October Moon

gently beaming just above
you tempt me with your glowing charm
and stir within these thoughts of love
while sending softly fear’s alarm.

and on this late October eve
with chill of autumn in the air
while in the shadows soft you weave
a decadence, with face so fair.

your softness shown and love implied
that tangles softly round my flesh
while baiting passions far and wide
I can’t resist your lunar mesh.

surrounded by this tempting glow 
as golden hue caresses skin
my wanton passions overflow
a captive of this carnal sin.

now my resistance growing weak
with tempting beauty glowing bright
she leaves me so I cannot speak
this mistress of the autumn night.

Brandy Nicole May 2, 2022 at 12:22 PM "your love tangles softly round my flesh." This thought leaves me breathless. There is something magical about such a moment. Very exciting and inviting indeed. I was thinking of my "October Moon" poem and wanted to read this again. Our *October* poems could collide, my dear friend. :) Hugs, Brandy John Gondolf May 2, 2022 at 4:44 PM Her lunar mesh that baits the passions is hard to resist as it softly tangles my being. I must go back and read your “October Moon” perhaps our thoughts will collide. Tender hugs, John

Jennifer Proxenos October 4, 2019 at 2:32 PM An awesome Autumn love poem - I adore Autumn, it inspires me and the cold is not really a penetrating cold, quite cold morning and evening but a beautiful warm, colorful season in fact in South Africa, I would our Autumn days are warm.

Brandy Nicole October 2, 2019 at 5:23 PM "you tempt me with your glowing charm" Is that so?? :) Seems the Moon is being playful- cascading shadows. As desires are found, in the tenderness of the night. Your thoughts are so beautiful and romantic, with a hint of passion. Simply breathtaking my dear friend. :) Brandy John Gondolf October 3, 2019 at 4:31 AM Thank you for your thoughts and comments, B, the night time brings thoughts of passion and they are fueled by the soft glow of the moon.
