The Essence of Soft Shadows

Conjuring enchantment with its breath bewitching Sublime your perfume ravishes the midnight air With delirious abandon most sultry and beguiling Caressing every minute curvature and every hair Like wistful undulous fingers on the prowl Sublime your perfume ravishes the midnight air Audaciously meandering enticing scantily afoul Dancing its seductive way around every curve Like wistful undulous fingers on the prowl With delirious abandon mesmerize and swerve A divine reverence to the essence of soft shadows Dancing its seductive way around every curve Bemused intrigued and fascinated by the petals of a rose Envious beauteous promiscuous yet virtuously amorous A divine reverence to the essence of soft shadows Deviously fabulous while tortuous and vaporous Conjuring enchantment with its breath bewitching Your spellbinding perfume renders my heart impetuous With delirious abandon most sultry and beguiling Submitted on May 16, 2019 for contest APPLICABLE NOT APPLICABLE sponsored by RICHARD LAMOUREUX - RANKED 4TH on May 3, 2019 for contest MEMORIES OF MAY sponsored by MICHELLE FAULKNER and May 13, 2018 for contest THE ESSENCE OF SOFT SHADOWS sponsored by JOHN LAWLESS

Thanks so much for your lovely visit and comment, Caren. I think when poets put words that are knowingly way off the beaten path, it is courteous to add the definition at the bottom. If only I could follow my own advice.
