Summer Sizzle

While lying there ‘neath summer stars on blanket in the yard; just you and I, the Moon and Mars, with Cygnus keeping guard. I gaze into your eyes of green reflecting in the night our destiny was not foreseen, this love of ours so right. Your alabaster skin so fresh with honeysuckle scent; the southern breeze caresses flesh as darkness gives consent. Our tangled torsos in the dark, beneath the midnight sky, and whispered nothings giving spark that leads to moans and sigh. Your breath so soft upon my cheek, your touch upon my face; makes certain my desires to seek, my heart begins to race. With soft full breast pressed to my chest, the nighttime comes alive, and in the dark desires expressed, our passions start to thrive. Within our souls the fires awake, and seeking carnal thrill; our hearts eclipse and bodies quake, as all of time stands still. And in the afterglow of love, we lay there tired and spent; while gazing at the sky above, we ponder love’s assent. This summer sizzle that is ours and never to be barred while lying there ‘neath summer stars on blanket in the yard.

Yowza! This one certainly sizzles, although I did wonder where in the south this could happen without those nasty squeeters making the night a whole lot less romantic. My random musings aside, this was a superb poem that I am proud to shine a light on. ... perhaps not directly on it, but tastefully near it.

There is something about being this close, that truly leaves one breathless. This is beautiful, romantic and so passionate. I don't know why, but I love this thought. "just you and I, the Moon and Mars" :) Being one, and then being one beyond the universe. ~ Brandy

Thank you for your comments and taking the time to read this, Brandy. Being alone under the stars reminds me of the Eagles song “Peaceful Easy Feeling” I think it goes “I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight, with a billion stars all around” I love that song. John
