Notes About The Poem

Placed 1st: When Butterflies Dance to Moon’s Song
Sponsor: Anoucheka Gangabissoon


 

When Butterflies Dance to Moon's Song

Curving, swirling, in moonlit stance, butterflies merrily dance,
Undulating tenor of nocturnal music, beneath stellar expanse,
When celestial orchestra plays, occult notes of galactic tune,
As titillations of love croon, mystical lyrics of melodious moon;

Echoing doting rhythms, twinkling revelry of luminous stars,
In realms magical, scintillating thrones of Venus and Mars,
As longings of soul blossom, spurring reveries of romance,
Where I decode latent missives, glinting your esoteric glance;

Enamored in tones ambrosial, humming riffs of moon song,
Cherishing sweet promise of love, reverberating lifelong,
Exalting fantasies of awe, emanating from ethereal heart,
Edifying ecstasies of morrow, as shadows of bygones depart;

Enlivening themes longed for, in womb of romantic night,
As we embrace paradise of passion, desires ecstatic ignite,
Lauding refulgent beams of moon, glistening fervid space,
When ardent images of grace, memories beloved retrace;

Waltzing in airglow above, thrilling on wings of butterflies,
Attuning to sound of music, resounding in lambent skies,
Choreographing a ballet love, rowing aura of galactic stream, 
Enchanting sensuous theme vying shores of utopian dream.

Ah its so good to see you post again dear Vijay. I am mesmerised by the wordplay in this, both lyrical and celestial that truly is soul stirring. Magical ambience of love so beautifully and profoundly depicted here. I especially love the lines “ mystical lyrics of melodious moon;” “ Cherishing sweet promise of love,“ “ thrilling on wings of butterflies” “ Choreographing a ballet love,” mellifluous and magnificent flow of impeccable alliterations and diction. Definitely a fave. BOL in the contst
