Time To Let You Go

Beneath the sunlit sky I see your face, and in that moment you reveal your touch- I feel the way you’ve mastered your embrace, and through the night your passion is as such. Above the twilit moon I need your kiss, I beg of you to keep my secret safe- For when away your fondness I do miss, and as we said we need our tender faith. The way the spark is lit beneath the sheets, reveals the gentle ways you swiftly trace my body like a sketch down to my feet, for in your arms is where I leave my lace. Before the Lord made man you loved me so- But now it’s time for me to let you go. October 21, 2016

So you've come a long way with iambic pentameter and this is a beauty. I've never read about kissing ABOVE the moon before, pretty original far as I've noticed. Very romantic and, again, you did the IP thing well enough to now say, "I Got This." Congratulations, LuLoo ... CayCay

Reminds me of Charlie Rich, Behind closed doors. I like it but am not too sure about the closing couplet.
