Notes About The Poem

Unadorned, Utopia, Utterly, Uplifting Poetry Contest, Sponsor - Constance La France. Date written: 03/23/2024

Utterly

utterly captivating 
was our magical night.
as dawn lay down to sleep,
we remained awake to stargaze.

utterly romantic, 
honey-sweet moments we did share.
a rendezvous tailor-made for royals;
t'was unforgettable.

utterly unforgettable!
we held midnight 
in the palm of our hands;
lost in a world of our own.

utterly amorous 
was the spark of love exploding 
beneath the pale moonlight 
each time our lips met.

utterly carefree 
were our passionate hearts,
floating about with abandon 
like butterflies in Spring meadow.

utterly scintillating;
pocketful of stars in our sky;
we watched them supine, smiling 
in unison with the crescent moon.

utterly amazing!
watchful birds were tweeting 
our favorite song 
as we danced, and danced.

utterly free 
were our spirits;
as if for the last time 
we held each other, never letting go.
