Notes About The Poem

For the Love Jones poetry contest by Karen and Tahj Jones.

There is nothing I have more passion for than my beloved.

Passions of love

I could adorn you 
with great riches,
but my greatest gift 
to you is my poetry.

Lost in the gravity of your love,
my soul has lost control of its senses,
floating in euphoria, 
ecstasy and elation.

In the presence of your beauty,
even the stars hide with envy.
My muse that was once mute,
is now briskly blooming at night.
My simple musings 
were without meaning,
before the first glimpse 
of your elegance.

Now my heart 
is whispering to the sky,
enchanted by shades 
of dreamy indigo nightfall,
as twilight glows  in 
clementine and violet hues.

An end to 
monotone blackberry skies,
as the earth creates colours 
in time for our union.

Moonlight illuminates 
our dream world,
as pearls appear, 
radiantly reflecting,
like a constellation 
in your eyes.
Your luscious lips like 
merlot petals,
entice with 
soft sensual warm breaths.

As we blend, 
it feels like the air is alive.
Consumed in intimate infatuation,
inhibitions fade in slow motion,
as desires dissolve 
like a secret of the stars.

Very sensual and beautifully romantic. The whole poem is strewn with expressions of consuming love. "My muse that was once mute, is now briskly blooming at night." Yes, you were mute and silent for sometime, now we see you making your continued presence felt, by scripting poems after poems. Enjoyed this beautiful song of love, dear friend.

Ah silent one, this is so beautiful, you are one the best I know for romance, you write romance like as if you breathe love and compassion like no other. I cant help but be in awe, wishing my beloved would write a poem like this for me lol! I think i should show him your poems ask him to learn how to be romantic like this hah. I really love the opening lines, theres nothing as precious as poetry and true love, no materialistic whatever can replace that, i really love the delicate and soft flow

Especially “ My muse that was once mute, is now briskly blooming at night.” awwn i can resonate with that. “ as pearls appear, radiantly reflecting, like a constellation in your eyes.“ how gorgeous is the way you describe! You really are an artist. “ Consumed in intimate infatuation, inhibitions fade in slow motion, as desires luster like a secret of the stars.“ perfect ending! Just love this! Definitely a fave! May your muse forever be blooming like a red merlot rose
