Overwhelming

Lover, how you swagger in, so boldly brash Overwhelming reason to seductive state Taking my lips under sunset's final flash Passion rich colors we recklessly create I am warned of craters left once comets crash Yet I blaze crimson with you, defying fate If this night becomes but a memory shed Into my gray age, let your thunder be red 3/24/23 Writing Challenge 'O' Words Contest Sponsor: Constance La France

Passion in a fiery red, but i think not that this here beau will forget, the seduction ne'er a memory will it be, but a crash bang flash, a memory to be held and had, for all eternity. I just thought how could anyone forget or let a woman like this leave his eyes, your thunder will be red, he'll seek you out without a doubt. I LOVED YOUR POEM MICHELLE. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Hot galaxies rubbing romantically? Beautiful,Sis. Our MTN cell connections just began this hour -- dinner time -- and I apologize my reading is "tardy." Shalom, Paz!

I'm glad too Wendy - when I think of overwhelming those covers of romance novels come to mind :)

Poetry brimming with emotion, Michelle, that prances in with bravery and an overpowering sense of seduction. You did a good job delivering on the subject of the contest that you picked.

Actually I had first planned to use ornate as the theme but the final poem had other ideas, so I changed to overwhelming - thank you for your comment~
