Under the Stars

Listen to poem:
This night, my sweetheart, is ours to savour Take a luscious bite of eternity Leave the world behind in a distant blur Starry sprinklings endowed felicity A luscious moon above our balcony Whispering promises of ecstasy Rules of seduction by which we abide Lawless magnetism by own admission To a temptress breeze our dreams we confide Succulently guilty of volition Under a slight veil of superstition Orchestrated by some sweet magician What spellbinding enchantment resonates Just as two hearts solemnly acquiesce A wave of elixir intoxicates Fully entranced by the slightest caress Rendering two mere mortals powerless In love’s entangled web ageless timeless Together waltz amidst constellations Exposing love’s sweetest revelations AP: 2nd place 2022, Honorable Mention 2022 Submitted for contest URBAN SONNET sponsored by LAURA LOO - January 21, 2018 - RANKED 5TH

Romantic with a hint of sensual, well-done. Your rhymes equally well-done. Kudos on your win.
