Line Gauthier Poet Sonnet

Listen to poem:

Under the Stars

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
