Notes About The Poem

Contest-Wilderness of Want- sponsor Ink Empress- 9/21/26

When Love Found Us Worthy

As I wake within the rose of wilderness
    my eyes are aroused
by twilight's soft glow surrounding your face
in a wondrous shroud of glimmering illumination
    leaving me breathless
giving rise to the heart beat you hear
in this evening of silent raptured luminosity

Where you and I beseech the sun to undress the stars
that quietly appear, as the sunset bows to the night
in a red splayed sky filling the horizon
opening the night's stage of enchantment
inviting romantic scenes that we'll play
    in a pulsating atmosphere
filled with heavenly flickering gleams
    that wash across the black sky
to shine on the vivid colored blossoms of our soul
dancing with a shimmering magical intimacy
from a soft breeze of tranquility
binding our senses to the aroma
covering the luster of our enraptured heart
    as we transformed into lovers
lost on an island of fragrant perfume and passion
    surrendering ourselves to be prisoners
where we were tortured by the taste of touch
    that purified us
on the altar of love's breathless embrace
