Gershon Wolf Poet Sonnet

The Stars Aligned That Night

The way our hands explored, the thrill we felt
   Our eyes were glazed, our hearts so wildly throbbed
The chill outside, our eager mouths did melt
   A prelude to romance, sheer passion robbed
  
We fled the streets, abandoning all grace
   Shedding inhibitions, with immodest grins
Then tumbled into bed, locked in a tight embrace
   Our hands a-tremble, worshiping pale skin...

The stars aligned that night, their vast array
   They sparkled and they flickered, brilliant flames
The moon shone bright, did silhouette our play
   The Heavens beamed, our tryst they did proclaim

O cruel morn, too early have you come
   To shine your light on love, to strike it dumb

Chris Green August 20, 2019 at 7:34 AM Wow, there's a romantic on the loose around here. This was gorgeous, the entire feel of the poem was alluring and filled with love and desire. Gershon Wolf August 20, 2019 at 8:40 AM It takes a romantic to know a romantic, Chris... Whenever I set out to pen something in the romantic vein, I think of your poems, and often review several, as your work inspires me. Thank you for your kind words and your support. Much appreciated. Warm wishes always, Gershon
